Preservation or reconstruction of the soft tissues around dental implants is an essential component of implant dentistry. Increased width and thickness of the keratinized tissue surrounding dental implants has been recognized as an important factor associated with long-term implant success. When extractions and ridge reduction are performed concurrently with implant placement, maintaining vestibular depth also is of utmost importance. A previous report described a technique for applying bone-anchoring sutures to preserve keratinized tissue and vestibular depth around implants. The present report describes a variation of the procedure for the simultaneous correction of situations in which the existing keratinized tissue is thin and narrow and preserving and apically positioning it might not provide an appropriate gingival cuff.
牙种植体周围软组织的保存或重建是种植牙科的重要组成部分。牙种植体周围角化组织宽度和厚度的增加已被认为是与种植长期成功相关的重要因素。当拔牙和牙槽嵴缩窄与种植体植入同时进行时，维持前庭深度也至关重要。先前的一份报告描述了一种应用骨锚式缝合线来保存种植体周围角化组织和前庭深度的技术。本报告描述了该手术的一种变体，用于同时矫正现有角化组织薄且窄，保存并将其根尖定位可能无法提供合适牙龈袖口的情况。
