Abstract
This novel miniplate seems to be improved when compared to other available devices. Rigid osteosynthesis of a Le Fort I osteotomy can be problematic because of the repositioning gap and the variable anatomy of the maxilla. The device must be rigid enough, inconspicuous, and well tolerated. Only three plate lengths are necessary to treat all cases, which reduces cost and storage. The only requirement is to mandatorily insert four plates every time. Removal of the plates does not seem necessary.
