Abstract
A study was performed to evaluate the osseous crestal changes following maxillary
and mandibular segmental osteotomies. Ten patients with 22 osteotomy sites were evaluated
prior to surgery and 6 months postsurgery. Periodontal sounding measurements along
with plaque and gingival indices were used as parameters. Except for two patients
whose osteotomies were carried out between closely approximated teeth, no patients
experienced significant osseous crestal level changes during the investigation period.
This leads the authors to believe that segmental osteotomies may be performed without
significantly modifying the height of interproximal bone.
