Abstract: The bone augmentation technique is an effective method to address the insufficient height and width of alveolar ridge at the implant site. Stable and tension-free primary healing in the surgical area is crucial for ensuring the success of complex bone augmentation surgery. In recent years, the mandibular lingual tension-relieving technique has been increasingly utilized in clinical practice. Based on the buccal side tension-relieving technique, this technique can further reduce tissue flap tension, maintain surgical area stability, and improve the overall success rate of the surgery. This article provides a comprehensive review of the important anatomical structures of the mandibular lingual side, commonly used expansion instruments, and clinical applications of the mandibular lingual tension-relieving technique.
