    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Orthognathic Surgery
    • Skeletal Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Mandibular deformities require surgical correction, often utilizing osteotomies.
    • The sagittal split osteotomy of the mandibular ramus is a widely adopted technique.
    • Predictable outcomes depend on precise surgical execution and stabilization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present modifications of the sagittal split osteotomy for mandibular advancement and setback.
    • To highlight the advantages of controlled segment splitting and proximal segment positioning.
    • To discuss the role and implications of rigid skeletal stabilization in this procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of modified sagittal split osteotomy techniques for mandibular repositioning.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of controlled splitting and precise positional control of bone segments.
  • Evaluation of rigid skeletal fixation methods applied to the osteotomy.

    • Main Results:

    • The modified technique offers controlled splitting of mandibular bone segments.
    • Predictable positional control of the proximal segment is a key advantage.
    • Rigid skeletal stabilization presents specific benefits and drawbacks.

    Conclusions:

    • Modified sagittal split osteotomy enhances control and predictability in correcting mandibular deformities.
    • Rigid fixation is a critical consideration in the application of these techniques.
    • The presented modifications offer valuable options for orthognathic surgery.
