Abstract

The strength of BSBP is its total preservative approach with the longitudinal reinforcement of the palatopharyngeal muscle (PPM) with barbed sutures. The remodeling of the palatal system, compared to a cable-stayed bridge, provides an acceptable stiffness combined with higher stability. The other essential step is to leave intact the PPM giving the chance of repeatable surgery considering the developmental reduction of muscular tone during the life.
