Minimally invasive augmentation procedure (right mandible).
Notes: Two vertical incisions (A) were performed (mesial and distal ends of the intended region for augmentation), followed by elevation of a mucoperiosteal flap. A bone graft from the contralateral side was harvested (B). The block was adapted to the defect (C), and inserted under the flap accessed from the mesial incision (D). The block was secured with two titanium screws onto the alveolar crest (E).
