Osteotome Technique

The osteotome technique is a minimally invasive surgical method used to reshape or lengthen bones, often in dental or facial procedures. It involves carefully inserting a thin, precise instrument called an osteotome to make controlled cuts or fractures in the bone. This allows the surgeon to gently manipulate and move bone segments into the desired position without extensive cutting. The technique promotes quicker healing, reduces surgical trauma, and often results in less discomfort for the patient. It is commonly used in procedures like cleft palate correction, facial bone adjustments, and dental implant preparations.
