Different augmentation techniques has been proposed to resolve problem of hard and/or soft tissue ridge defects to enable dental implant placement. Guided bone regeneration GBR procedure is considered as an acceptable reliable surgical procedure for localized ridge augmentation. Exposure of the membrane used for the GBR is considered a major disadvantage of this procedure. In order to avoid such complication, various flap advancement techniques have been proposed such as Periosteal releasing incision,Double-Flap Incision,Coronally advanced lingual flap. The study compare between the flap advancement provided by Periosteal releasing incision,versus,Coronally advanced lingual flap in the treatment of class 1 ridge defect.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Partially edentulous patients in the mandibular posterior region.
* Patients with healthy systemic conditions.
* Insufficient ridge width (\< 5mm).
* Presence of proper inter-arch space for placement of the implant prosthetic part with adequate soft tissue biotype (≥ 2mm).
* No clinical evidence of active periodontal disease or oral infections.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients with systemic conditions that may interfere with the results of the study.
* Patients with local pathological defects related to the area of interest.
* Unmotivated, uncooperative patients with poor oral hygiene.
* Patients with habits that may jeopardize the implant longevity and affect the results of the study such as smoking, alcoholism or para-functional habits.
* History of bone associated diseases or medication affecting bone metabolism e.g. bisphosphonate treatment.
* History of radiation therapy in the head or neck region.
* Current antitumor chemotherapy.
* Pregnancy.
* Inflammatory and autoimmune diseases of the oral cavity.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
