Abstract
Nowadays esthetics plays an important role in dentistry along with function of the prosthesis. Various soft tissue augmentation procedures are available to correct the ridge defects in the anterior region. The newer technique, vascularized interpositional periosteal connective tissue (VIP-CT) flap has been introduced, which has the potential to augment predictable amount of tissue and has many benefits when compared to other techniques.
The study was designed to determine the efficacy of the VIP-CT flap in augmenting the ridge defect.
Ten patients with Class III (Seibert's) ridge defects were treated with VIP-CT flap technique before fabricating fixed partial denture. Height and width of the ridge defects were measured before and after the procedure. Subsequent follow-up was done every 3 months for 1-year.
Paired
The surgical site healed uneventfully. The predictable amount of soft tissue augmentation had been achieved with the procedure. The increase in height and width of the ridge was statistically highly significant.
The VIP-CT flap technique was effective in augmenting the soft tissue in esthetic area that remained stable over a long period.

Excellent blood supply, less morbidity, primary closure of donor and recipient bed are the additional advantage of this flap.

All patients were periodontally healthy. The reasons for tooth extraction were endodontic failure and caries lesions combined with root or crown fractures. No tooth was removed because of advanced periodontal disease. All patients were in good health, with no contraindications for periodontal surgical therapy.

The procedure was accomplished in a similar manner to that described by Sclar.[<xref rid="ref12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>] An acrylic stent was fabricated for each patient to assist in the standardization of all measurements. The stent was designed to cover occlusal surfaces of the teeth adjacent to the augmentation site. Each stent has the indelible position marker to easily identify the predetermined points on the edentulous ridge where the height and width measurements would be taken. Measurements were taken with the help of UNC-15 probe [Tables <xref ref-type="table" rid="T3">3</xref> and <xref ref-type="table" rid="T4">4</xref>]. All measurements were taken at the time of surgery and 2 months after surgery.

Horizontal incision was made connecting the vertical incisions and then the buccal flap was elevated by blunt dissection [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Figure 3</xref>]. Donor site was prepared by extending the incision on the distal aspect of the recipient bed palatally. This incision was given parallel to the gingival margin of the teeth and 2 mm apical to the marginal gingival up to the distal aspect of the second premolar. Using the single incision technique, sub-epithelial dissection was made from the distal aspect of second premolar and carried anteriorly toward the distal aspect of the canine. A vertical incision was then made at the distal aspect of the sub-epithelial dissection. Subepithelial connective tissue layer was elevated beginning from second premolar area toward the anterior extent of the dissection by blunt dissection. A second incision was then initiated under tension internally at the apical extent of the previous vertical incision and extended horizontally anterior to the distal aspect of the canine. Tension releasing cutback incisions was extended into the base of the pedicle flap for flap rotation [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Figure 4</xref>].

The augmented connective tissue showed little shrinkage after approximately 2-3 months. Postoperative morbidity was similar to that after removing a free subepithelial connective tissue graft from the palate. Two months postsurgery, the soft tissues have healed completely and adequately [Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F9">9</xref> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F10">10</xref>]. The patients were found to be satisfied with the final restoration based on readings over a visual analog scale at 2 months and 12 months follow up period.

Class III defects showed prevalence of about 55.8%, followed by Class I defect, which was 32.8% and Class II defects, which were 2.9%. As Class III defects are more prevalent, they were taken into consideration for this study.</p><p>The cases presented refer to the treatment of a Class III alveolar crest defect in maxillary anterior region with VIP-CT flap. It has been stated that up to three-tooth defects of moderate severity can be corrected successfully by less complicated soft tissue augmentation procedure.[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>] Most of the earlier techniques have the drawback of less gain in volume because of limited size of the graft that can be used. Large onlay grafts have chances of necrosis due to lack of sufficient blood supply.[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref><xref rid="ref5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref><xref rid="ref16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>]</p><p>Unlike this, in VIP-CT flap technique, the amount of tissue gain is more and the pedicled blood supply is derived from the connective tissue periosteal plexus within the flap that provides the biological basis for predictable coverage.[<xref rid="ref17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>]</p><p>Vascularized interpositional connective tissue grafts for ridge augmentation preserve the color match and characteristics of overlying mucosa resulting in a better esthetic blend in a potentially highly visible area. In contrast, onlay grafts retain their palatal mucosal characteristics, which may compromise tissue esthetics.[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref><xref rid="ref5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref><xref rid="ref16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>]</p><p>In this technique, the flap is covered with buccal flap resulting in maintaining natural coloration and texture thereby reducing the need for secondary procedures. The donor site is near the surgical field and has minor morbidity. The surgical technique is simple, quick, and predictable. The flap has a random pattern blood supply, can have a width/length ratio of up to 1/5[<xref rid="ref12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>] and is used for minor ridge reconstruction of maxillary esthetic regions and simultaneously reconstructs both hard and soft tissue defects.[<xref rid="ref13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref><xref rid="ref18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>]</p><p>Because the donor site remains primarily covered, the risk-to benefit ratio is better than with other harvesting techniques. The use of a palatal protective template can increase safety, and the potential risk of postoperative bleeding is minimized.[<xref rid="ref19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>]</p><p>The cost of the procedure is low, does not interfere with the possibility of implant therapy in the future and can be repeated to improve the result.</p><p>Overall, it is accepted that ridges that have been augmented with soft tissues undergo shrinkage over the first 6 weeks postoperative. From 2 months postsurgery, the ridge dimensions remain stable. In this study, complete healing of the sites occurs within a month. Although, long-term follow-up of the cases has not been done but many authors report stability over periods that range from 2 to 10 years. The use of VIP-CT flap seems to be a good substitute for currently available techniques of soft tissue ridge augmentation.</p><p>However, there are few limitations of the procedure. There is difficulty to correct additional mucogingival problems in the same surgical act, e.g. a shallow vestibule or a mucogingival line that is too near the crest of the alveolar ridge. No controlled studies have been performed to examine the long-term stability of localized ridge augmentation with soft tissues. Before cementing provisional FPD, the pontic should be properly shaped and allowed to be slightly in contact with the soft tissue, any defect in the ridge may lead to esthetic and functional problems.</p><p>The soft tissue ridge augmentation technique poses many difficulties one of which is a gain in the volume of the defect that depends on the size of the graft. A larger defect cannot be treated with a full thickness onlay graft because these grafts can be harvested to a limit. A larger graft is more prone to necrosis and also leads to more of an injury to the donor site.[<xref rid="ref20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>] Therefore, the present study favors less injury to the donor site and a good amount of graft size that may help in proper gingival contours adapted to the shape of the pontic.</p></sec><sec sec-type="conclusion" id="sec1-5"><title>CONCLUSION</title><p>A significant gain in tissue volume has been achieved in the apicocoronal and buccolingual directions. Based on the result of the study, the technique would be effective in treating Class I, II, and III deformities of the alveolar crest that involve one or more missing teeth. However, further studies are necessary to confirm these findings in a larger series of patients.</p></sec></body><back><fn-group><fn fn-type="supported-by"><p><bold>Source of Support:</bold> Nil</p></fn><fn fn-type="conflict"><p><bold>Conflict of Interest:</bold> None declared.</p></fn></fn-group><ref-list><title>REFERENCES</title><ref id="ref1"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Prato</surname><given-names>GP</given-names></name><name><surname>Cairo</surname><given-names>F</given-names></name><name><surname>Tinti</surname><given-names>C</given-names></name><name><surname>Cortellini</surname><given-names>P</given-names></name><name><surname>Muzzi</surname><given-names>L</given-names></name><name><surname>Mancini</surname><given-names>EA</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Prevention of alveolar ridge deformities and reconstruction of lost anatomy: A review of surgical approaches</article-title><source>Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent</source><year>2004</year><volume>24</volume><fpage>434</fpage><lpage>45</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">15506024</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="ref2"><label>2</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Abrams</surname><given-names>H</given-names></name><name><surname>Kopczyk</surname><given-names>RA</given-names></name><name><surname>Kaplan</surname><given-names>AL</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Incidence of anterior ridge deformities in partially edentulous patients</article-title><source>J Prosthet Dent</source><year>1987</year><volume>57</volume><fpage>191</fpage><lpage>4</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">3470510</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="ref3"><label>3</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Seibert</surname><given-names>JS</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Reconstruction of deformed, partially edentulous ridges, using full thickness onlay grafts.
