Flapless surgical implantation technique using mini-incision decreases peri-implant soft tissue inflammatory reaction compared with flap surgery.

Flapless technique in comparison to conventional flap procedure minimizes postoperative bone inflammatory reactions.

Summary Normal bone healing after tooth extraction includes the following steps: blood clot forming, granulation, bone forming and final bone reorganization. In clinical settings connective tissue infiltration of extraction socket can result in fibrous scar formation rather than bone healing. Local and systemic factors seem to be major contributors to the occurrence of erratic socket healing. The aim of this case report was to describe oral-surgery treatment of a patient with inadequate bone and soft supportive tissue for prosthetic rehabilitation. Surgical procedure and recovery are presented, including final complete denture rehabilitation.
