SIMANCAS PALLARES, Miguel Ángel et al. Increase of residual alveolar ridge using roll technique. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2011, vol.48, n.1, pp. 89-94. ISSN 0034-7507.

Tooth loss associated with systemic factors, pathological and traumatic conditions, promotes the bone resorption of residual ridges, this, creates functional problems such as lack of stability and retention of removable dentures as well as aesthetic and psychological disturbances. These defects vary depending on the amount of bone loss and soft tissue they reach. At present there are described various techniques that can correct these defects. One of these is the roll technique which shows very good results by increasing the size of the alveolar ridge and decrease aesthetic defects in the anterior area of the maxilla. The aim of this article is to describe a case of a patient with Seibert bone loss type III, rehabilitated with fixed partial denture after undergoing a surgical procedure with the roll technique achieving the stated objectives and providing aesthetic improvement to the patient and an improvement in their quality of life. It is shown that the technique can be achieved with predictable results that return aesthetics in areas of high demand from patients.
