One-stage interpositional bone grafting and vestibuloplasty of the atrophic maxilla

A technique of one-stage autogenous bone grafting and submucous vestibuloplasty for reconstruction of the atrophic maxillary alveolar ridge has been presented. The advantages are described. Use of this procedure has currently been limited; however, initial success indicates this may be a valuable technique for use in the atrophic maxilla.
