    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Mandibular vestibuloplasty aims to deepen the oral vestibule for improved denture stability and oral hygiene.
    • Various surgical techniques exist, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of a specific transpositional labial flap technique for mandibular vestibuloplasty.
    • To compare this technique with other established methods based on clinical, radiographic, and histological data.

    Main Methods:

    • A transpositional labial flap technique, adapted from Edlan's procedure, was performed on 23 patients.
    • Six patients underwent nine-month follow-up with clinical, radiographic, and histological evaluations at three-month intervals.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The transpositional vestibuloplasty demonstrated favorable postoperative healing and stable increases in vestibular depth.
    • The technique showed comparable or superior results in attached mucosa condition and labial bone resorption compared to other methods.
    • Key advantages include simplicity, low morbidity, shorter operating time, and suitability for outpatient procedures under local anesthesia.

    Conclusions:

    • The transpositional labial flap technique is a simple, effective, and well-tolerated method for mandibular vestibuloplasty.
    • Its primary limitation is the requirement for healthy preexisting vestibular mucosa for optimal outcomes.
    • This technique offers a viable alternative to graft-dependent procedures, reducing patient morbidity and treatment complexity.
