Background
A 24-year-old female who is a normal healthy patient (ASA 1) required vertical augmentation of the lower jaw due to traumatic bone loss.
Case Description
Two months after the car accident, under local anesthesia, a mucoperiosteal safety flap was designed and raised from the second premolar to the second premolar in the lower jaw using C reverse incisions ranging
from split to total thickness dissection, so that the mental nerve could be protected, as well as the blood supply to the entire area maintained. A lingual flap was dissected taking into consideration the anatomical area and related structures in order to prevent injuries and flap disruptions.
