[Segmental surgery of the maxilla: the long-term assessment of the dental-periodontal integrity of the osteotomized sites].
Segmentary surgery of the jaws has increased the possibilities of therapeutic orthognathodontic surgery, allowing osteo-dental segments to be moved three-dimensionally to achieve a satisfactory occlusion. One of the potential limits of this method is the possibility of damaging the dental-periodontal structures bordering with the site of osteotomy. The aim of this study was to report the results of a long-term clinical and radiological survey in a group of patients undergoing segmentary surgery, performed without tooth extraction.
