Minimally invasive procedures with the tunnel technique have been suggested to decrease patient post-operative discomfort and morbidity in oral bone regeneration. In the ridge augmentation tunnel technique, crestal incision and the release of the connective tissue are avoided in order to enhance the blood supply of the flap. This approach preserves the blood circulation and does not damage the periosteum The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome of a minimally invasive technique for maxillofacial horizontal bone augmentation . performed by using a collagen dermal matrix, deproteinized bovine bone and hyaluronic acid. Collagen matrix is inserted into a sub-periosteal tunnel using microsurgical instruments. Deproteinized bovine bone in a hyaluronic acid carrier are placed and inserted repeatedly into the pocket and absorbable suture is used to close the vertical incision.
