Abstract
|
|
|
|
Severely resorbed mandibles or maxilla often present a short band of keratinized tissue with a shallow vestibule. In these cases, vestibuloplasty is indicated when prosthesis stability is poor due to mandibular or maxillary atrophy. The use of autogenous grafts to provide sufficient vestibular depth is widely accepted. Or sometimes mucosal advancement, secondary reepithelization was performed. This case report describes the deepening of the vestibular sulcus by combining free gingival graft or secondary reepithelization via fastening the flap with microscrews. The applied method described an easy, sufficient surgical procedure that minimizes shrinkage or relapse and creates a sufficient denture-bearing area, thus representing an improvement over previous methods.
