Mandibular Osteotomies in Orthognathic Surgery

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2007
Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy is the most commonly used osteotomy of the mandible in orthognathic surgery. The authors describe their experience in evaluating the orthognathic patient with a mandibular deformity. The bilateral sagittal split osteotomy surgical technique used by the authors is reviewed along with postoperative management.

Modified Mandibular Sagittal Split Osteotomy

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2019
Introduction: Mandibular osteotomies aim to displace the dental arch to the necessary position, ideally without limitation, while preserving inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) function. Supraforaminal osteotomies offer nerve safety but limit the extent of advancement, whereas Epker and Obwegeser–Dal Pont osteotomies enable ...

Combined Maxillary and Mandibular Osteotomies

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1989
In certain patient categories single-jaw surgery will not result in the optimal outcome that can be achieved through bimaxillary surgery. These include patients with asymmetrical facial deformities (usually mid and lower face), long face deformity with vertical maxillary excess and significant mandibular retrognathism, and bimaxillary protrusion or ...

The biometry of mandibular osteotomy repair

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1982
Abstract The healing of experimental mandibular osteotomies in monkeys was monitored by biometric testing. Results indicate that full strength returns to the osteotomy site in 20 weeks. The implications for the treatment of osteotomies and fractures of the mandible in humans are discussed.

The Midline Mandibular Osteotomy and Mandibular Swing

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1988
At the recent fall meeting of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in Chicago, Robert H. Maisel, MD, and colleagues from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, presented their experience with a midline mandibular osteotomy and mandibular swing to gain exposure for resection of oral cavity and oropharyngeal carcinomas.

Mandibular feminization osteotomy—preliminary results

International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2019
Strong mandibular angles and a heavy chin are perceived as masculine features, so surgical feminization of female or transgender faces may warrant mandibular base narrowing (borders and angles) and a reduction in chin width and height. With this in mind, we have devised an interdental midline osteotomy (triangular in shape and with a caudal base) to ...

A sandwich mandibular osteotomy: A progress report

British Journal of Oral Surgery, 1982
Summary A study of 14 patients who underwent augmentation of atrophic mandibles by a modified ‘sandwich’ osteotomy technique incorporating cortico-cancellous iliac bone is presented. The results, assessed over one and a half to three years, are compared with the published results of other methods of augmentation.

A Mouse Model of Mandibular Osteotomy Healing

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2001
The purpose of this study was to establish a novel mouse model of membranous osteotomy healing. By applying this model to transgenic mice or using in situ hybridization techniques, we can subsequently investigate candidate genes that are believed to be important in membranous osteotomy healing.

Plate fixation after mandibular osteotomy

International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2001
Skeletal asymmetry in patients who undergo orthognathic surgery is frequently associated with postoperative temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders caused by condylar rotation. This study was designed to elucidate the relation between changes in the condylar long axis and TMJ function after bisagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). A total of 42 patients with

Extraoral sagittal osteotomy of the mandibular ramus

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1983
A new type of extraoral sagittal osteotomy of the mandibular ramis and retromolar region is described. This is a simple and versatile procedure which may may be used in the correction of prognathism, retrognathism, open bite, and mandibular asymmetry.
