Abstract: Objective　To explore a more convenient and reliable method for the treatment of fresh sagittal maxillary fractures. Methods　The fractured fragments were medially transversal distracted and reduced by palatal implants which were located in both sides of fr-acture line.Then a min-plate was contoured to the palatal vault and fixed to the palate as external fixator via transmucosa method.After that,palatal implants were removed. The mini-plate stayed in situ for a month to maintain the stability of fractured fragments and was then removed. Results　This method was efficient for the treatment of fresh sagittal maxillary fractures and made it possible to maintain good oral hygiene and function. Conclusion　This method is simple,reliable,comfortable and worthy of clinical promotion. It is suitable for relatively simple sagittal maxillary fractures.
