Abstract
Preprosthetic oral and maxillofacial surgery has changed dramatically over the last 3 decades. Surgical preparation for dentures has been displaced by site development for implants. Nonetheless, there is still a role to play for several preprosthetic procedures. In this article, historical context is provided, enduring concepts are reviewed, and procedures that remain relevant are described and discussed.Keywords: Dental prosthesis; Retention; Skin graft; Stability; Torus; Tuberosity; Vestibuloplasty
