Traditional corticotomy
A flap covering the alveolar process will be elevated. Perforations will be done using surgical burs, and then the flap will be returned, and sutures will be performed.
Flapless corticotomy
Some incisions will be made in the mucosa of the alveolar process. Then these incisions will allow the working head of the piezotome to cut the bone in grooves. The whole procedure will not require flap elevation and replacement.
