Synopsis:

The segmental osteotomy is a specialized surgical technique that involves very precise separation and repositioning of a segment of the jawbone.  The use of this procedure in localized areas is valuable for correcting isolated malocclusions, bone deficiencies, and mal-positioned dental implants. This presentation will explore the indications, techniques, and sequence of interdisciplinary care necessary to achieve optimal outcomes for patients where traditional methods would be inadequate.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the indications for single-site segmental osteotomy. 
• Understand the technique and sequence of care appropriate to each patient type. 
• Understand the benefits over alternative treatment methods
