Clinical Assessment and Comparison of Coronally Advanced Lingual Flap to Modified Periosteal Releasing Incision for Flap Advancement in Partially Edentulous Patients Undergoing Guided Bone Regeneration Using Titanium Mesh: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Inclusion Criteria:

• Partially edentulous patients in the mandibular posterior region.
• Patients with healthy systemic condition.
• Insufficient ridge width (< 5mm).
• Presence of proper inter-arch space for placement of the implant prosthetic part.
• Adequate soft tissue biotype (≥ 2 mm).

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with systemic conditions that may interfere with the results of the study.
• Patients with local pathological defects related to the area of interest.
• Unmotivated, uncooperative patients with poor oral hygiene.
• Patients with habits that may jeopardize the implant longevity and affect the results of the study such as smoking, alcoholism or para-functional habits.
