AI Article Synopsis
- The island osteoperiosteal flap (I-flap) is a new method for bone grafting aimed at increasing width and adjusting the position of facial or buccal bone.
- Three case studies are presented to showcase its application, along with histological evidence from animal studies.
- This procedure could serve as a valuable addition to current practices in alveolar augmentation and dental implant therapy.
Article Abstract
The island osteoperiosteal flap (I-flap) is introduced as a modified alveolar split bone grafting technique used to gain width and modify the facial or buccal bone plate position.
