Popis: | Osseointegrated implants placed prior to maxillary downgrafting were utilized to stabilize the repositioned maxilla and interpositional bone graft. Eleven-month follow-up revealed complete healing of the 1.5-cm osteotomy gap and no maxillary relapse. Implant stabilization may be one solution to the relapse associated with inferior repositioning of the maxilla. |
