Un utile richiamo dei punti chiave che sono alla base di questa tecnica: [...] - The osteoperiosteal flap procedure with the most utility, the most frequent application, and the simplest technique is the alveolar split graft known as the book bone flap. - With this technique, the alveolus is split from the crest to the vestibule, without facial soft tissue detachment of the outfractured facial plate, to widen the alveolus. - The book flap is generally used to increase alveolar width by 2 to 5 mm. - The procedure can be used for expansion bone grafting for both immediate and delayed implant placement. - The relatively soft bone of the maxilla is extremely amenable to the use of this technique provided that sufficient vertical bone is available. - In the mandible, the book flap is more difficult to apply because of increased thickness of cortical bone, which often necessitates that an osteotomy be performed at the base of the alveolus to enable outfracture of the facial segment.
