L'expansion osseuse transversale pré-implantaire de la crête maxillaire par corticotomie alvéolaire

The indications are maxillary crestal thickness ranging from 1.5 to 3 mm. This technique allows gaining 4 to 5.5 mm of thickness on a length of up to 40 mm. Implants are often placed during the same surgery. Morbidity is limited and aesthetic prosthetic results are satisfactory.
