Reconstruction of lingual sulcus in a severely atrophic mandible using a modified approach as a pre‐prosthetic surgery: Case series

Shallow lingual vestibule and lack of keratinized attached mucosa are considered risk factors for the long‐term success of dental implants. This article describes a modified surgical approach accompanied by a free gingival graft to correct the shallow lingual/buccal vestibule and to increase the ker...

Description
Summary:Shallow lingual vestibule and lack of keratinized attached mucosa are considered risk factors for the long‐term success of dental implants. This article describes a modified surgical approach accompanied by a free gingival graft to correct the shallow lingual/buccal vestibule and to increase the keratinized tissue around dental implants. The lingual sulcoplasty using the button‐suture technique might be considered for reconstructing the lingual vestibular depth in patients with severe mandibular ridge resorption.
