“…Prosthetic rehabilitation of an edentulous mandible can be a delicate procedure when proper vestibule depth is absent. Because of the painful and prolonged healing following conventional vestibuloplasty, a laser vestibuloplasty with Erbium:YAG is recommended 6 . When used in oral soft tissue surgery, the Er:YAG laser targets the chromophore of water selectively instead of the extracellular matrix of collagen.…”

A prosthetic treatment of the edentulous mandible can be very challenging. In cases with inadequate buccal depth, a necessary deepening of the oral vestibule can be achieved by surgically detaching the soft tissue attachments. A preprosthetic vestibuloplasty is usually done surgically by scalpel. With the permanent advancement of laser technology, a laser vestibuloplasty has become a preferred surgical procedure. The aim of this report was to present individuality of a mandible vestibuloplasty performed with Er.YAG laser.A 69-year-old patient was referred to the University Department of oral surgery after several previous unsuccessful attempts to stabilize his lower denture. The intraoral assessment revealed complete mandibular edentulism and a shallow vestibule with sufficient bone height in the anterior region. Since the patient's financial resources precluded dental implants, mandible anterior vestibuloplasty was planned to deepen the vestibule thus increasing the anatomic basis for prosthetic rehabilitation. The vestibuloplasty was performed with Er-Yag Laser (Fotona Fidelis III). The laser ablation started at the mucogingival junction. The soft tissue bands were ablated layer by layer till the desired vestibular depth was achieved. There was no need for suturing. No protective barrier was placed. The postoperative recovery was symptomless, without pain, oedema, or signs of infection. Four weeks after surgery, the healing process was completed and sufficient anterior vestibular depth was gained and maintained. Er.YAG laser assisted vestibuloplasty was a minimally invasive surgical procedure. The fast healing with minimal scarring resulted and a sufficient vestibular depth was gained.

“…Vestibuloplasty (Clarke's technique) is described in the earlier literature as a comfortable and reliable technique for attaining sulcus depth. [ 2 3 4 ] It is indicated in case of completely edentulous ridges to create a betterment of anatomical sulcus length. We encountered an isolated shallow vestibule with dentition in anterior and posterior to the ridge.…”

Vestibuloplasty is the procedure for shallow vestibule, prior to the prosthesis. Usually, vestibuloplasty is carried out in patients with completely edentulous arches. There are multiple techniques of vestibuloplasty described in the review of literature. However, it has not been emphasized on isolated shallow vestibule. This article describes our experience in the isolated or localized vestibuloplasty for a partially edentulous individual with a shallow vestibule pertaining to a single missing tooth.

“…The most frequently performed procedures include basic periodontal treatments (scaling, curettage), activities in the field of conservative dentistry (elimination of active cariouss lesions, endodontic treatment) or oral surgery, such as tooth extraction, elimination of pathology within hard and soft tissues or improvement of the quality of prosthetic area. [1][2][3][4][5] Appropriate preparation of the patient's oral cavity ensures an effective, long-term rehabilitation of the stomatognathic system. Depending on the prosthetic treatment plan, it is sometimes necessary to prepare additional tools routinely used by a specialist of another field of dentistry.…”

Odpowiednie przygotowanie jamy ustnej pacjenta do planowanego leczenia protetycznego jest postępowaniem obligatoryjnym i skoncentrowane jest na polepszeniu jakości pola protetycznego. W zależności od przypadku, niekiedy konieczne jest wykonanie dodatkowych aparatów wykorzystywanych w procesie przedprotetycznych zabiegów chirurgicznych. W pracy opisano przypadek pacjentki, u której przeprowadzono zabiegi osteogingiwoplastyki i frenulotomii, wykorzystując w trakcie gojenia miękko-twardą płytkę chirurgiczną wykonaną w technice termoformowania.
