Preprosthetic surgery is an aspect of dentistry that has a close relationship to prosthodontics and oral and maxillofacial surgery. The main functions of preprosthetic surgery are elimination of pathology in the denture-bearing soft and hard tissues, and ridge improvement. Limited vestibuloplasty is still considered a predictable and cost-effective procedure for patients who are well adapted to removable dentures. The excellent documentation of osseointegrated implants as supportive and retentive devices for prostheses has reduced the need for major ridge-improving surgery. Many clinical conditions, especially in the maxilla, cannot be managed solely with implants. The combination of preprosthetic surgery and implants may solve problems that neither discipline can solve alone.
修复前外科手术是牙科领域中与口腔修复学及口腔颌面外科密切相关的一个方面。修复前外科手术的主要功能是消除义齿承托区软硬组织的病变，并改善牙槽嵴情况。对于能很好适应可摘义齿的患者，有限前庭成形术仍被认为是一种可预测且经济有效的手术。关于骨结合种植体作为假体的支持和固位装置的出色文献记录减少了对大型牙槽嵴改善手术的需求。许多临床情况，尤其是在上颌骨，仅靠种植体无法解决。修复前外科手术与种植体的结合可能解决单一学科无法单独解决的问题。
