Decortication
Under local anesthesia, vertical and inter-radicular gingival incisions will be performed on the vestibular of the maxillary and mandibular arch, starting 2-3 mm below the interdental papilla and with sufficient depth to the periosteum to allow the scalpel to reach the alveolar bone. These incisions will be kept as small as possible; then, through them, using a piezoelectric scalpel (piezotome), several bone cuts will be performed. These cuts will have sufficient depth for drilling the cortical alveoli.
