Mandibular vestibuloplasty with full-thickness skin graft of the prepuce

Vestibuloplasty with Retroauricular Skin Grafts for Dental Implant Rehabilitation in Vascularized Fibula Grafts: Two Case Reports

“…[14][15][16][17] Reconstruction of the shallow vestibule with full (FTSG) or split-thickness skin grafts (STSG) with vestibuloplasty is reported to be a reliable method for vestibular lengthening and placement of mandibular endosseous implants in preparation for mandibular implantsupported overdentures. [18][19][20][21] According to the literature, both grafts offer stable and convenient options for rebuilding peri-implant soft tissue in selected patients with compromised atrophic ridges. 20,22 This paper describes the deepening of the vestibular sulcus using FTSG harvested from the retroauricular region to rebuild appropriate peri-implant soft tissue and oral vestibule for two patients with large mandibular defects reconstructed using composite fibula flaps following gunshot injuries.…”
