Two common dentoalveolar defects are managed by a novel treatment approach.

Modern investigators have revealed the likely anatomic pathways through which this system operates. A specific set of rules can be defined to guide surgeons to design procedures that have the optimum potential for a successful outcome. These cases demonstrate that if this treatment method is followed, successful healing can be achieved.
