Abstract

Mandibular subapical segmental osteotomies are not the most common choices to treat patients with dentofacial deformity. However, especially the anterior subapical osteotomy is a very versatile technique that allows the osteotomized segment to be moved in different directions. The surgical technique can also be applied with other dysgnathias and in combination with a BSSO.
