This case series presents a novel T-shaped incision technique used in the second-stage exposure of dental implants in three medically free female patients aged 22, 50, and 55 years old. The approach was designed to preserve papillae, minimize trauma, reduce bleeding, and eliminate the need for suturing. Healing was uneventful in all cases, with a favorable emergence profile and excellent soft tissue adaptation during six-month follow-up. This technique provides a conservative, predictable alternative to traditional flaps in non-esthetic zones.
