Abstract
The use of endosseous implants is directly related to the topography and quality of the patient’s residual bone. Several
techniques have been tried to expand its application through implant design alterations and surgical techniques for bone
augmentation. This article reviews the sandwich osteotomy combined with an interpositional autograft for vertical and
transversal augmentation in the atrophic mandible prior to endosseous implant placement. In conclusion, segmental
mandibular sandwich osteotomy can be recommended to fulfill the dimensional requirements of preimplant bone
augmentation in atrophic posterior mandible.
