Numerous periodontal plastic operations have been used to treat these issues. However, each approach has its own drawbacks and is technique-dependent. Adequate depth of vestibule is necessary to maintain good oral health as shallow vestibule leads to accumulation of food and thus impedes oral hygiene maintenance. This case series describes a vestibular deepening procedure performed using modification of periosteal fenestration technique. This technique includes a series of eight cases of shallow vestibule where vestibular deepening was conducted by giving a full-thickness incision to expose the periosteum and create a window of fenestration followed by suturing the labial mucosa to the periosteum at the apical level. The results reported an excellent post-operative outcome showing increased depth of the vestibule.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijdr.ijdr_721_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,7]],"date-time":"2024-10-07T08:01:20Z","timestamp":1728288080000},"page":"358-360","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Modification of Fenestration Technique (MOFT) to Increase Vestibular Depth: A Case Series"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Anukrati","family":"Katariya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Teerthanker Mahaveer Dental College and Research Centre, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bhavna J.","family":"Kukreja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Dental Sciences, College of Dentistry, Gulf Medical College University, Ajman, UAE"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20241224","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"525","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1976.47.9.525","article-title":"A technique of measurement of the depth of the vestibular fornix in the mandibular anterior region","volume":"47","author":"Ward","year":"1976","journal-title":"J Periodontol"},{"key":"R2-20241224","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"305","DOI":"10.1111\/jcpe.12504","article-title":"The association between shallow vestibular depth and peri-implant parameters:A retrospective 6 years longitudinal study","volume":"43","author":"Halperin-Sternfeld","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Clin Periodontol"},{"key":"R3-20241224","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"93","DOI":"10.3126\/jnspoi.v4i2.34305","article-title":"Clark's technique of vestibuloplasty-A case report","volume":"4","author":"Shrestha","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Nepal Soc Perio Oral Implantology"},{"key":"R4-20241224","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"265","DOI":"10.4103\/0972-124X.113095","article-title":"Vestibular deepening by periosteal fenestration and its use as a periosteal pedicle flap for root coverage","volume":"17","author":"Rajpal","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Indian Soc Periodontol"},{"key":"R5-20241224","first-page":"413","article-title":"Root coverage treatment in bilateral Miller's class I using subepithelial connective tissue graft in a smoker patient","volume":"9","author":"Harsas","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Int Dent Med Res"},{"key":"R6-20241224","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"175","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1960.31.3.175","article-title":"Newer concepts of mucogingival surgery","volume":"31","author":"Ochsenbein","year":"1960","journal-title":"J Periodontol"},{"key":"R8-20241224","first-page":"9","article-title":"Preprosthetic surgery:Review of literature","volume":"3","author":"Chari","year":"2016","journal-title":"Int J Sci Study"},{"key":"R9-20241224","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"12","DOI":"10.4103\/ams.ams_322_20","article-title":"Comparison of vestibular depth relapse and wound healing after reconstructive preprosthetic surgery using cryopreserved amniotic membrane and acellular dermal matrix-A comparative study","volume":"11","author":"Babaki","year":"2021","journal-title":"Ann Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R10-20241224","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2761","DOI":"10.1007\/s00784-021-04252-5","article-title":"The comparison of the efficacy of gingival unit graft with connective tissue graft in recession defect coverage:A randomized split-mouth clinical trial","volume":"26","author":"Kayaalti-Y\u00fcksek","year":"2022","journal-title":"Clin Oral Invest"}],"container-title":["Indian Journal of Dental Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/ijdr.ijdr_721_23","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T20:11:04Z","timestamp":1787775064000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/ijdr.ijdr_721_23"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,7]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/ijdr.ijdr_721_23","relation":{},"ISSN":["0970-9290","1998-3603"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0970-9290","type":"print"},{"value":"1998-3603","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,7]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2023-08-19","name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-04-21","name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
