Abstract
INTRODUCTION: We developed a novel, reliable and easy method that retains stability of the repositioned flap and vestibular expansion.
METHOD: The conventionally elevated mucosal flap is secured to the desired depth of the vestibule by the pressure created by the polyvinyl chloride 6Fr suction catheter which is fixed to the alveolar bone with cortical bone screws passing through the inner lumen of the tube. The keratinized free flap is placed on the periosteum conventionally, and horizontal mattress suturing is performed for immobilization, with the suture running through the inner lumen of the tube transversally.
CONCLUSION: This simple method gives us great benefit on the vestibuloplasty. © The Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons of India 2019.
