Flap Advancement Techniques in Ridge Augmentation

Egypt14 participantsStarted 2018-12-20

Plain-language summary

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.
