[Special technics for the enlargement of the vestibulum].
From a technical viewpoint, vestibuloplasty is the easiest method to deepen the vestibulum and is mostly preceded by gingivectomy or a flap operation. Grafting of free mucosa is the method of choice in cases of small regions of operation, prominent alveolar ridges, where open vestibuloplasty has already been performed and serious coronal shifting the scar has occurred, and where a coronal sliding of flap was planned as a second operation to cover a gingival recession. In cases of gingival recessions and areas with narrow, less than 3 mm broad gingiva propria having no obvious pathologically altered gingival sulcus, the method according to Edlan and Mejchar is offering the best results.
