Abstract
The anterior maxillary osteotomy (AMO) is employed primarily to reposition the anterior dento-osseous segment posteriorly (setback). It is also used to move the segment superiorly or inferiorly as indicated. The application of AMO as stand-alone technique is limited and today more often used in multisegmented maxillae in Le Fort osteotomies.
