Tunnel Access for Horizontal Alveolar Ridge Augmentation

Italy5 participantsStarted 2022-11-01

Plain-language summary

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 .
