Lingual sulcoplasty with a modified preparation technique

Different techniques to improve the denture supporting area in the mandible by means of lingual sulcoplastry are discussed. A method for lingual sulcoplastry is presented and compared with other methods. This method is considered superior to transplantation and flap techniques as it causes less pain and discomfort and allows an early finish of the denture work. Yet the result of the operations with this technique seems to be compatible.
