Purpose. Comparative analysis of the effectiveness of various surgical techniques for correcting the vestibule of the oral cavity in elderly and senile patients with complete absence of teeth in the lower jaw based on the analysis of data from the clinical course of the postoperative period. Methods. The article analyzes in a comparative aspect the effectiveness of different methods of surgical correction of the vestibule of the mouth in 61 elderly and senile patients with complete absence of teeth in the lower jaw in preparation for prosthetics with a complete removable plate prosthesis based on the analysis of the clinical course of the early postoperative period. Results and Summary. According to the results of the study, it was revealed that in patients who underwent surgical correction of the vestibule of the oral cavity using a modified technique, the postoperative period was less painful, and the time for healing and epithelialization of the wound surface was reduced. The study allows us to recommend this technique for effective correction of the shallow vestibule of the oral cavity in elderly patients with complete absence of teeth in the lower jaw at the stage of preprosthetic preparation of the oral cavity.
