Fig. 84 post-operative x-ray.

On cases where muscular attachments are too high they should be relieved making sure there exists a fairly thick band of attached gingivae around the posts of each bladevent, figs. 85, 86. Suturing is accomplished with simple surgical ties and mattress sutures wherever necessary, fig. 87. With the lowered muscle attachments healing becomes simple, fig. 88, and there is chance for success. Fig. 89A & 89B show post-operative results.
