Bony tuberosity reduction.

(A) Incision extended along the crest of the alveolar ridge distally to the superior extent of the tuberosity area. (B) Elevated mucoperiosteal flap provides adequate exposure to all areas of bony excess. (C) Rongeur used to eliminate bony excess. (D) Tissue reapproximated with a continuous suture technique. (E) Cross-sectional view of the posterior tuberosity area, showing vertical reduction of bone and reapposition of the mucoperiosteal flap. (In some cases removal of large amounts of bone produces excessive soft tissue, which can be excised before closure to prevent overlapping.)
