Purpose:
To evaluate the usefulness of orthomorphic surgery in correcting mandibular dysmorphology.
Materials And Methods:
This is a prospective study in which five patients having mandibular dysmorphology were treated using orthomorphic surgery. The patients were evaluated for outcome in terms of duration of surgery, assessment of mandibular split, mental nerve paresthesia/ neurosensory changes after surgery, assessment of mouth opening before and after surgery, postoperative assessment of mandibular symmetry, and postoperative complications.
Statistical Analysis Used:
Descriptive statistics, frequencies, contingency coefficient test (cross tabs).
Results:
Our study has revealed results in support of the technique mentioned, showing good success rate in terms of mandibular dysmorphology correction when used in mild to moderate dysmorphology cases.
Conclusion:
Orthomorphic surgery will play an increasingly important role in the repertoire of the maxillofacial surgeon in correcting mandibular dysmorphology.
