  • Title: Consequences of insufficient treatment planning for flapless implant surgery for a mandibular overdenture: a clinical report.
    Author: Bidra AS.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 2011 May; 105(5):286-91. PubMed ID: 21530752.
    Abstract:
    Flapless implant surgery is an emerging modality of treatment in implant dentistry that is known to offer several advantages. However, this procedure is inadvisable for situations where there is an absence of labial/buccal bone, reduced width of alveolar ridge, or a need for alveoloplasty to create prosthetic space. This clinical report describes the biologic and prosthodontic consequences of placing implants through flapless surgery and without preoperative treatment planning. Importance of proper treatment planning and a detailed discussion of prosthetic/restorative space analysis are discussed.
