Summary
This study introduces a novel flap technique to enhance keratinized tissue (KT) around dental implants in the posterior mandible. The method effectively increases KT width with minimal patient discomfort, avoiding palate grafting.
Area of Science:
- Dental Implantology
- Periodontology
- Oral Surgery
Background:
- Keratinized tissue (KT) is crucial for dental implant stability and health.
- Traditional methods for increasing KT, such as palatal grafting, cause significant patient discomfort.
- There is a need for less invasive techniques to augment KT around implants, particularly in the posterior mandible.
