Abstract
A case of congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors is presented to i llustrate a modification of Abrams's roil technique. Buccal releasing incis ions are avoided by using an intrasulcular incision on the adjacent teeth. The tissue overlying the cover screw is transferred between the buccal cort ical bone and the buccal masticatory mucosa, thus correcting the localized buccal ridge atrophy.
