Abstract:
A revised stage-two technique, suitable for the severely resorbed mandible, is described. The objective is to eliminate mucosal mobility around the peri-implant area. This is achieved by means of a technique that limits the detachment of the lingual flap, augments the band of attached masticatory mucosa with a free gingival graft, deepens the vestibule, and prevents the reattachment of the muscles by means of a postsurgical stent.
