This study modifies the maxillary submucosal vestibuloplasty to enhance denture retention and stability in edentulous patients. The improved technique offers better surgical outcomes and patient comfort.

Area of Science:

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Prosthodontics
Surgical Innovation

Background:

Denture retention and stability are persistent challenges in prosthodontics.
Existing methods for improving denture support often have limitations.
Maxillary submucosal vestibuloplasty offers a viable solution for enhancing the alveolar ridge.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a modified maxillary submucosal vestibuloplasty technique.
To address limitations of previous vestibuloplasty methods.
To improve denture retention and stability in edentulous patients.

Main Methods:

Modification of the Obwegeser maxillary submucosal vestibuloplasty.
Procedure indicated for edentulous patients with specific anatomical and mucosal conditions.

Involves creating a modified vestibuloplasty with a removable interim prosthesis.

Main Results:

The modified technique provides improved surgical exposure.
Achieves greater vestibular depth for enhanced denture support.
Results in a comfortable, hygienic, and esthetic interim prosthesis.

Conclusions:

The modified maxillary submucosal vestibuloplasty is an effective and simple procedure.
It successfully increases functional alveolar ridge height.
Offers improved outcomes for edentulous patients experiencing denture instability.
