Abstract

The tools of the osteotomy have been advancing considering the challenges faced by their prior versions. The conventional mechanical tools pose various constraints in the development of osteotomy. This has brought many alternative non-conventional techniques with broad exploration space. Among these techniques, laser stands out as it offers several advantages over conventional osteotomy. These tools integrated with modern automation devices can lead to very efficient osteotomy in the future. The current article succinctly reviews the different approaches, challenges, and advances in the osteotomy since its origin, and its current state of research.
