Abstract

Aim: The current publication presents a simplified surgical approach that allows easy adaptation of a flap in the upper jaw in second stage surgery in dental implants.

Methods: A detailed step-by-step description of the simplified flap approximation approach is detailed with a graphical illustration of the surgical principles of the approach. Also, two clinical cases of the method are presented.

Results: The simplified flap approximation approach allows easy flap adaptation that promotes primary healing of soft tissue around implants.

Discussion: The simplified flap approximation approach allows an easy-to-manage surgical flap that optimizes soft tissue healing around implants in the second stage of surgery.
