Some early improvements of the ramus implants had superior-inferior curves to eliminate prematurities with the opposing dentition and bucco-lingual curves to eliminate cross-bites, figs. 164, 165.

This next case, fig. 166, clearly demonstrates the technique which includes incising and reflecting the anterior tissue, fig. 167, making of the anterior groove, fig. 168, and fitting in the symphyseal bladevent, figs. 169, 170.
