In dentistry, tissue expanders have been used to obtain sufficient soft tissue for alveolar bone augmentation in the severely atrophic ridge. Herein, we review two cases of soft tissue augmentation using a self-inflating tissue expander in patients in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital for bone graft and implant operations. The results of each patient were presented using pre-operative and post-operative radiographs and clinical exams. The results of our study indicate successful bone graft and implant surgery using a self-inflating tissue expander.

Purpose: Many patients in anti-platelet therapy have been consulted for bleeding risks before minor oral surgery. However, there has not been an established pretreatment protocol for treating these patients. The purpose of this study is to make a protocol for the preoperative management for patients in anti-platelet therapy. Patients and Methods: The existed consultation pattern of patients was examined in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Yonsei Dental Hospital. Based on the observation, a protocol including classification of medical status of patients and the type of oral surgery in need was introduced. This protocol had been performed for 6 months. Result: Following this protocol, the frequency of consultation for bleeding risk was decreased. The number of minor oral surgeries with concurrent anti-platelet therapy was increased. There was no severe bleeding event observed among minor oral surgeries that were performed while maintaining anti-platelet therapy. Conclusion: This protocol can be used as a guideline for clinical practice of patients in anti-platelet therapy requiring minor oral surgery.
