Advanced strategies using a single-site segmental osteotomy to address specific dental and implant challenges

The segmental osteotomy is a specialized surgical technique that involves a precise separation and repositioning of a segment of the jawbone. The use of this procedure is considered for vertical bone growth in partially edentulous sites with advanced alveolar bone loss. Along with localized bone deficiencies, this surgical therapy is valuable for correcting isolated malocclusions and malpositioned dental implants. This video article will explore the indications, techniques, and sequence of interdisciplinary care necessary to achieve optimal outcomes for patients where traditional methods would be inadequate in the treatment of an ankylosed incisor or a dental implant with an unfavorable position.
