Abstract
Presence or absence of a minimal zone of keratinized tissue around dental implants has been a matter of controversy. However, a consensus exists that a thick zone of keratinized zone around implants provides a prosthetic friendly environment, facilitates precise prosthetic procedures, allows oral hygiene maintenance, resists recession, and enhances esthetic blending. The aim of the present case series was to increase the zone of keratinized soft tissue around dental implants supporting overdentures. Three different surgical techniques modified palatal roll technique with and without apical positioning and connective tissue graft (CTG) were used to achieve this goal. There was a significant gain of keratinized soft tissue with all the three techniques, which remained stable over a period of 6 months. Modified palatal roll technique with and without apical positioning and CTG are simpler surgical techniques, which can be successfully and predictably used for increasing the zone of keratinized tissue around implants.

Presence or absence of a minimal zone of keratinized tissue around dental implants has been a matter of controversy.[<xref rid="ref1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref><xref rid="ref2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>] Many investigators have concluded that so-called attached peri-implant soft tissue does not provide any long-term advantage over alveolar mucosa.[<xref rid="ref3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref><xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>] However, a growing number of researchers and newer systematic reviews extol its virtue, correlating it with improved soft tissue health, greater patient satisfaction, and fewer complications.[<xref rid="ref5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref><xref rid="ref6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref><xref rid="ref7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>]</p><p>Keratinized tissue extends from the gingival margin to the mucogingival junction. Peri-implant tissues lack the perpendicular arrangement of the supracrestal collagen fibers, thereby creating a much weaker mechanical attachment compared to natural teeth.

Each technique has its own inherent advantages and limitations. Thorough knowledge of these techniques helps the surgeon in the appropriate selection in specific indications. Conventionally described techniques are CTG or FGG, PG, APF.[<xref rid="ref10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref><xref rid="ref11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref><xref rid="ref12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>] First described by Abram's and later modified by Scharf and Tarnow described palatal roll flap technique for increasing the zone of keratinized tissue. Modified palatal roll flap procedure is an easy surgical approach to increase the zone of keratinized tissue, which does not require a second surgical site, and has an advantage of pedicled blood supply but can only be undertaken for mild to moderate augmentation, however it can only be used in situations with thick tissue overlying the implant which was case in the first patient, however with respect to the implant placed at 43 modified palatal roll technique was used with apical positioning so as to compare the increased keratinized tissue achieved with both the techniques.[<xref rid="ref13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref><xref rid="ref14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>] CTG is an alternative in cases where there is a lack of keratinized tissue around implants, but it has the drawback of requiring a second surgical site and is technically demanding. This technique was utilized for the second patient as the implant was already in use and there was no tissue covering the implant to be utilized for modified palatal roll technique.</p></sec><sec sec-type="conclusion" id="sec1-5"><title>CONCLUSION</title><p>When planning for implant restorations, a preoperative assessment of the width and thickness of keratinized tissue is an important step. When necessary, keratinized mucosa augmentation should be done prior to implant placement or at the second stage. To summarize in spite of conflicting data in the literature most experienced clinicians agree that an adequate zone of attached tissues with intimate adaptation to the emerging implant structures is critical for long-term success of an implant restoration in a partially and fully edentulous patients.</p></sec></body><back><fn-group><fn fn-type="supported-by"><p><bold>Source of Support:</bold> Nil</p></fn><fn fn-type="conflict"><p><bold>Conflict of Interest:</bold> None.</p></fn></fn-group><ref-list><title>REFERENCES</title><ref id="ref1"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="book"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Branemark</surname><given-names>PI</given-names></name></person-group><person-group person-group-type="editor"><name><surname>Branemark</surname><given-names>PI</given-names></name><name><surname>Zarb</surname><given-names>GA</given-names></name><name><surname>Albrektsson</surname><given-names>T</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Introduction to osseointegration</article-title><source>Tissue Integrated Prostheses</source><year>1985</year><publisher-loc>Chicago</publisher-loc><publisher-name>Qunitessence</publisher-name><fpage>11</fpage><lpage>76</lpage></element-citation></ref><ref id="ref2"><label>2</label><element-citation publication-type="book"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Tencate</surname><given-names>AR</given-names></name></person-group><person-group person-group-type="editor"><name><surname>Branemark</surname><given-names>PI</given-names></name><name><surname>Zarb</surname><given-names>GA</given-names></name><name><surname>Albrektsson</surname><given-names>T</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>The gingival junction</article-title><source>Tissue Integrated Prostheses</source><year>1985</year><publisher-loc>Chicago</publisher-loc><publisher-name>Qunitessence</publisher-name><fpage>145</fpage><lpage>53</lpage></element-citation></ref><ref id="ref3"><label>3</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Zarb</surname><given-names>GA</given-names></name><name><surname>Schmitt</surname><given-names>A</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>The longitudinal clinical effectiveness of osseointegrated dental implants: The Toronto study.
