Abstract: Loss of alveolar bone in the oral cavity is one of the common complications during and after alveolar surgery. Traditional alveolar surgery techniques often destroy the buccolingual alveolar bone and accelerate the resorption of alveolar bone during the operation. The bone window technique preserves the vascular supply of the periosteum through its specific design and surgical execution, thereby creating a favorable biological environment for bone tissue survival and regeneration. This mechanism enables maximal preservation of alveolar bone. this paper summarized the development and application of bone window technology in alveolar surgery in recent years and provided a basis for the clinical application of bone window technology.
