Abstract

Purpose: Although uneventful healing of soft tissue after primary closure of an augmented site represents the crucial point for bone regeneration in oral surgery, the reported incidence of wound dehiscence continues to remain at between 2.5% and 10%. The aim of this new flap design was to decrease complication incidence through double flap closure and stabile keratinized tissue volume.
