This document discusses various pre-prosthetic hard tissue procedures including: recontouring alveolar ridges through alveoloplasty and Dean's alveoloplasty; reducing maxillary tuberosities, palatal exostoses, mylohyoid ridges, and genial tubercles; removing tori and bone augmentation of atrophic maxillary and mandibular ridges through onlay grafts, sinus lifts, and hydroxyapatite grafts. The goal is to modify oral anatomy and eliminate undercuts/protuberances to facilitate dental prosthesis placement through reshaping bony areas.
