Data in brief·2018

Area of Science:

  • Oral surgery
  • Prosthodontics
  • Dental implantology

Background:

  • Mandibular denture instability is a common issue in patients with atrophic edentulous mandibles.
  • Osteomucosal support and surrounding musculature significantly influence denture stability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate a new vestibuloplasty technique for improving mandibular denture stability.
  • To assess the efficacy of combining a periosteal flap, gingival graft, and titanium posts.

Main Methods:

  • A new vestibuloplasty procedure was developed, utilizing a periosteal flap and a gingival graft.
  • Titanium impacted posts were employed for flap and graft fixation and stabilization.
  • The technique was applied to 12 patients, and clinical results were appraised.

Main Results:

  • The technique demonstrated improvement in the anteroposterior stability of mandibular dentures.
  • Increased attached mucosa was observed post-procedure.
  • The clinical appraisal suggested better long-term results compared to conventional methods.

Conclusions:

  • The described vestibuloplasty technique offers a promising solution for enhancing mandibular denture stability.
  • Managing the gingival and muscular environment is crucial for improving the peri-implant area and overall treatment success.
