  • Title: Flapless anterior implant surgery: a surgical and prosthodontic rationale.
    Author: Kan JY, Rungcharassaeng K, Ojano M, Goodacre CJ.
    Journal: Pract Periodontics Aesthet Dent; 2000; 12(5):467-74; quiz 476. PubMed ID: 11405003.
    Abstract:
    Full-thickness periosteal flap surgery is often accompanied by potential marginal bone loss and/or soft tissue recession. This is critical, particularly for the single-unit implant-supported restoration in the anterior maxilla, where the harmony of the soft and hard tissue architecture is of paramount importance to the development of natural aesthetics and function. This article demonstrates a flapless implant surgery technique in the anterior maxilla for optimal aesthetic results. The indications and limitations of this procedure are also discussed.
