ALEMAN MIRANDA, Otto  e  LENIN PICO, Yandy. Alemán and Pico technique for deepening the inferior vestibular edge. MEDISAN [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.4, pp. 433-439. ISSN 1029-3019.

In spite of the advances in technology to preserve the eruption of teeth, the rehabilitation of the masticatory system is still required in partial or totally toothless patients, what is difficult and frustrating -- either for those affected patients or for the prosthesists -- if serious atrophy of the alveolar bone exists. This problem can be solved by means of a surgical procedure denominated "deepening of the vestibule" directed to achieve the increase of the alveolar crest and, with it, the support of the dental prosthesis. To such an effect, this work intends and describes a new therapeutic option: the Alemán and Pico technique, for deepening of the inferior vestibular edge, which is not so invasive and it is feasible when the necessary conditions to place an implant are not available, either due to shortage of material resources or due to situations of the patients themselves

Palavras-chave : loss of the alveolar bone; alveolar process; increase of the alveolar crest; vestibuloplasty; dental prosthesis of implanted support.
