Island Osteoperiosteal Flap for Alveolar Bone Reconstruction

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. Three case examples are shown as well as animal histology indicating the possible development of this new surgical proce...

Summary: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. Three case examples are shown as well as animal histology indicating the possible development of this new surgical procedure as an adjunct for alveolar augmentation and implant therapy.
