Peri-implant Buccal and Lingual Keratinized Mucosa Augmentation Following Bone Reconstruction
None:
Large bone reconstruction often results in distortion of the position of the MGJ and limited residual keratinized mucosa (KM) width at the future implant(s) site. It is well known that an adequate band of KM plays a positive role on peri-implant health and tissue stability. Therefore, surgical techniques designed to reconstruct sufficient peri-implant soft tissue-not only on the buccal aspect but circumferentially around the implant-are highly recommended/advocated. The present manuscript depicts 4 variations of the strip gingival graft technique designed to achieve an adequate width of peri-implant KM and sufficient mucosal thickness (MT) following large bone reconstruction and implant placement at mandibular sites. The rationale for these surgical approaches over conventional techniques, along with anatomical, clinical, and patient-centered considerations related to augmentative procedures, is discussed.

Compact Bone
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
