title: [Corticotomy. A rapid method for correction of incisor malpositions].
abstract: Since the studies of Bell and Cadenat about dento-alveolar revascularization after alveolar osteotomies, orthodontic surgery knows new developments. The surgical correction of isolated incisal malpositions by interalveolar corticotomies with immediate repositionning of dento-osseous segments, represents actually a rapid therapeutic method in comparison with orthodontic treatment or combined surgico-orthodontic procedure. The authors present a study upon 31 corticotomies performed these last two years. They clear the usual indications, note the importance of the pre-operative planning, expose their technique, finally they give an idea about the value of this procedure.
