Abstract :

Background: Atrophic mandibular alveolar ridge generally complicates prostetic restoration expecially full denture. Low residual  alveolar ridge and basal seat can cause unstable denture, permanent ulcer, pain, neuralgia, and mastication difficulty. Pre-proshetic  surgery is needed to improve denture retention and stability. Augmentation is a major surgery to increase vertical height of the atrophic  mandible while vestibuloplasty is aimed to increase the denture bearing area.  Purpose: The augmentation and vestibuloplasty was  aimed to provide stability and retentive denture atrophic mandibular alveolar ridge. Case: A 65 years old woman patient complained  about uncomfortable denture. Clinical evaluate showed flat ridge in the anterior mandible, flabby tissue and candidiasis, while residual  ridge height was classified into class  IV. Case management: Augmentation using autograph was conducted as the mandible vertical  height is less than 15 mm. Autograph was used to achieve better bone quantity and quality. Separated alveolar ridge was conducted  from left to right canine region and was elevated 0.5 mm from the previous position to get new ridge in the anterior region. The  separated alveolar ridge was fixated by using T-plate and ligature wire.  Three months after augmentation fixation appliances was  removed vestibuloplasty was performed to increase denture bearing area that can make a stable and retentive denture. Conclusion: Augmentation and vestibuloplasty can improve flat ridge to become prominent.
