A simplified surgical technique for ridge augmentation using a subepithelial connective tissue graft is presented. Ten patients demonstrating moderate Type B and mild Type C ridge deficiencies were treated. Six had existing fixed restorations, while four patients were later restored. The simplified surgical technique uses only one vertical incision with the creation of a "tunnel" between the soft tissue and bone. The subepithelial connective tissue graft, taken from the palate, is inserted into this "tunnel" for ridge augmentation. The technique lends itself to management of ridge defects under existing restorations.
本文介绍了一种使用上皮下结缔组织移植进行牙槽嵴增高的简化手术技术。对10例表现为中度B型和轻度C型牙槽嵴缺损的患者进行了治疗。其中6例已有固定修复体，另外4例患者随后进行了修复。这种简化手术技术仅使用一个垂直切口，并在软组织和骨之间创建一个“隧道”。取自腭部的上皮下结缔组织移植片被插入该“隧道”以增高牙槽嵴。该技术适用于现有修复体下牙槽嵴缺损的处理。
