Area of Science:

Oral Surgery
Regenerative Medicine
Periodontology

Background:

Soft tissue healing is critical for bone regeneration in oral surgery.
Wound dehiscence (wound opening) occurs in 2.5%–10% of augmentation procedures.
Existing flap designs may not provide sufficient coverage, leading to complications.

Observation:

A novel inverted double flap closure technique was applied.
Two patients with insufficient bone volume underwent alveolar reconstruction using autogenous block grafts.
Flaps were elevated in two layers before augmentation.

Findings:

Both patients experienced uneventful healing without complications.
The technique provided double the coverage of the augmentation site compared to conventional methods.
Stable keratinized tissue and vestibule depth were maintained post-surgery.

Implications:

This double flap design offers enhanced wound closure for bone augmentation.
It shows potential to decrease complication incidence, such as wound dehiscence.
The technique may improve predictability and success rates in alveolar reconstruction procedures.
