sequestrectomy is a surgical procedure that removes a **sequestrum**, which is a piece of **dead bone** that has separated from healthy bone. It is most commonly discussed in oral and maxillofacial care when dead bone occurs in the jaws after infection, reduced blood supply, or other medical causes. The goal is to clear out non-viable bone so surrounding tissues can heal more predictably. It may be performed in outpatient or hospital settings, depending on the extent and the patient’s overall health.
