Abstract:
An up-to-date method of vestibuloplasty is shown by a case report. The flap raised from the cheek is suitable to cover the surface of the anterior alveolar process made free during the deepening of the lower vestibular fold. The recipient and donor areas are both within the oral cavity, thus the procedure is simple and the patients can bear it without difficulty. Due to the new anatomical situation the functional stability of complete dentures is considerably increased.
