Abstract
This technique has mainly been used in pre-implantation surgery to lower the maxillary crest in edentulate patients, and to increase the crestal height after bone grafting without modifying the position of the hard palate. It is a good alternative to the usual Le Fort I osteotomy for important impactions when the alveolar bone height is sufficient.
