Abstract:Open flap technique allows the clinician to directly visualize the alveolar bone and assess bone morphology of the ridge.However, this technique is relatively invasive and causes patient discomfort and marginal bone loss due to decreased supraperiosteal blood supply whereas the Flapless technique is one of the latest minimally invasive surgical methods of implant placement without the need to raise a mucoperiosteal flap to overcome the bone resorption process. The present study was designed to evaluate the ha… Show more
