Mathematical modeling of the elastic properties of the mucous flaps in conducting patchwork operations of the oral cavity.

Objective: Introduction: To date, there are techniques that allow dental surgeons to restore the lost volume of bone mass, but the level of complications during augmentation remains consistently high. One of the main types of postoperative complications is the exposure of bone augmentate and its infection as a result of ischemic or destructive processes in the mucous shreds, which cover the augmentate, resulting from their overgrowth. The aim: The purpose of our research was to increase bone augmentation effectiveness in patients with secondary edentulism and to reduce risk of postoperative complications caused by ischemia of the mucous membranes because of their tension by mathematical simulation of tensile limits and permissible deformation for the mucous membranes of the oral cavity.
