Table 1. Advantages and disadvantages of vestibuloplasty techniques.

Technique Advantages Disadvantages
Clark’s Technique Simple, suitable for moderate cases Limited vestibular depth increase
Kazanjian’s Technique Preserves keratinized mucosa Risk of relapse, not ideal for severe resorption
Lip Switch Deepens vestibule effectively Requires good soft tissue mobility
Edlan-Mejchar Best for lingual vestibule correction Post-op healing may be prolonged
Secondary Epithelialization Good for large defects Longer healing time, risk of graft failure
Laser-Assisted Minimal bleeding, faster healing High cost, expertise required
