Research Progress on Mandibular Lingual Tension-relieving Technique in Bone Augmentation
The bone augmentation technique is an effective method to address the insufficient height and width of alveolar ridge at the implant site.Stable and tension-free primary healing in the surgical area is crucial for ensuring the success of complex bone augmentation surgery.In recent years,the mandibular lingual tension-relieving tech-nique has been increasingly utilized in clinical practice.Based on the buccal side tension-relieving technique,this technique can further reduce tissue flap tension,maintain surgical area stability,and improve the overall success rate of the surgery.This article provides a comprehensive review of the important anatomical structures of the mandibu-lar lingual side,commonly used expansion instruments,and clinical applications of the mandibular lingual tension-relieving technique.
