“…These include marsupilisation (epithelial downgrowth and pocket formation) avulsion (mechanically induced failure), and infection [11,[13][14][15]. Although numerous articles have been published indicating important design criteria for transcutaneous implants [14,[16][17][18], no truly successful alternative to the current stump-socket device is available for amputees.…”

“…The reasons for the disparities among these studies may be multifactorial. They were all performed in animal models using a wide variety of species including monkeys [26,27], pigs [22,23,43], rabbits [8,20,29], guinea pigs [8,9], hamsters [8,9], rats [8,9,13], mice [24,35,50], and chickens [52]. Therefore, species differences may have contributed significantly to differences in outcome.…”

“…[19] All and therefore gingival biotype may be improved. [20][21][22][23][24] Histological evidence of this phenomenon would be beneficial to further validated this technique. [12] Since the VBIF technique utilizes the entire thickness of the tissue overlying the implant site, the surface keratinized epithelium is buried when inverted into the buccal mucosa.…”

Single stage implant placement is a common treatment modality today. The keratinized tissue, normally left over the implant, for two stage placement with primary closure, is often discarded. The following case reports aim to demonstrate the Vascularized Buccal Inversion Flap ( VBIF ) as a simple technique to augment the connective tissue thickness and enhance ridge contour at the buccal aspect of dental implants at the time of implant placement. The graft vitality is maintained by maintaining vascularity to the donor graft. The entire thickness of the crestal soft tissue is also transplanted to allow the surgeon to be frugal with the excess soft tissue while avoiding the need for a remote donor site. The connective tissue may be augmented in thickness as well as height by a simple inclusion or exclusion of a split thickness component to the graft. This results in an atraumatic, economical and predictable method to enhance clinical outcomes of single tooth implants. Response to Reviewers:To Reviewer #1: I am unable to find information on the JOI site on the required font type and size. I have submitted a question to this regard.to Reviewer #2: I absolutely agree with your comment. My point is that since there really is no consensus in the literature on the significance of attached mucosa, an inexpensive and simple technique would be more justified. The opportunity to provide this service whenever possible should not be missed.
