Palatal Wiring: Renewing an Old Technique (Circumpalatal Wiring)

The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery
Amin Rahpeyma, Saeedeh Khajehahmadi

Abstract

Circumpalatal wiring has 2 negative points. The first is premature loosening of the wire and the second is tongue irritation caused by exposed wire in roof of the mouth. In this article, a modified technique (palatal wiring) is introduced in which these 2 problems are targeted. In this technique, a small bur hole is created into the hard palate, without the need for flap reflection and wire is passed through it, grasps in the nose, and returns to the oral cavity via sublabial puncture point then 2 ends are twisted in labial vestibule. Palatal wiring can be used alone or as an aid to firmly secure arch bar.
