Management of the iatrogenically displaced anterior sublingual floor

Trauma and neoplasms may be responsible for ablative procedures performed in the anterior mandibular region. This surgery, as well as alveoloplasty, ridge augmentation, and placement of subperiosteal implants, may be responsible for the anterior malpositioning of the floor of the mouth along with its adnexa, which brings Wharton's carunculae directly over the crest of the ridge. A technique has been devised to correct this problem.
