Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a procedure that can preserve the bone volume around extraction sockets, and it can also be combined with immediate implant placement. However, an early exposure of GBR sites is a possible complication because it increases the risk of infection and can inhibit successful bone regeneration. The purpose of these case series is to introduce a novel, surgical procedure that can prevent the exposure of GBR sites by using IGT for flap extension during immediate implant placement in compromised extraction sockets. The technique was successfully performed in six patients. For successful flap closure, the inner portion of the IGT was dissected so that the flap was properly extended with the base of IGT attached to the flap for blood supply. Periosteal releasing incisions were not performed. The IGT was first sutured to the palatal flap with resorbable sutures, and then the overlying flap was closed with additional sutures. There was no post-operative exposure of the surgical GBR site in any of the patients, and the location of the mucogingival junction remained unchanged. All grafted sites also achieved sufficient bone regeneration. Within the limitations, this case series demonstrates the potential use of IGT, a concept which was previously obsolete.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina58111555","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,30]],"date-time":"2022-10-30T09:01:42Z","timestamp":1667120502000},"page":"1555","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Flap Extension Technique Using Intrasocket Granulation Tissue in Peri-Implant Osseous Defect: Case Series"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Won-Bae","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, School of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University, Private Practice in Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, Seoul 02447, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jung-Min","family":"Ko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Periodontics, Section of Oral, Diagnostic and Rehabilitation Sciences, Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, New York, NY 10032, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2364-8366","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ji-Young","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Division of Dentistry, College of Medicine, Hanyang University, 222-1 Wangsimni-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 04763, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8140-3095","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philip","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Periodontics, Section of Oral, Diagnostic and Rehabilitation Sciences, Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, New York, NY 10032, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"567","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0501.2010.01922.x","article-title":"Guided bone regeneration: Biological principle and therapeutic applications","volume":"21","author":"Retzepi","year":"2010","journal-title":"Clin.
