Tunnel Access for Lateral Alveolar Ridge Augmentation

"A vertical full-thickness incision in the mesial aspect of the defect ridge.Microsurgery instruments is subsequently use to carefully elevate the full thickness of the mucosa.~Extreme caution must be exercised during these maneuvers to avoid tissue perforation and to maintain the integrity of the periosteum.An dermal matrix is place into the tunnel.A pouch is create between the bone and the membrane and the mixed bone chips and hyaluronic acid are inserted into the tunnel until the desirable ridge dimensions are obtained. Primary closure of the vertical incisions was achieved with single interrupted sutures."
