Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthodontics
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Le Fort I osteotomy is crucial in orthognathic surgery for maxillary repositioning.
  • Maxillary segmentation during this procedure can be unstable, particularly in the transverse dimension.
  • Existing palatal devices have limitations in addressing this instability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel customized bone-borne palatal guide and splint for Le Fort I osteotomy.
  • To evaluate the potential of this device in improving surgical precision and efficiency.
  • To assess its impact on patient outcomes, including comfort and occlusal stability.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a patient-specific, bone-borne palatal guide and splint.
  • Application of the device during Le Fort I osteotomy procedures.
  • Evaluation of surgical time, accuracy of maxillary repositioning, and postoperative outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The customized device facilitates precise three-dimensional repositioning of the maxilla.
  • It has the potential to significantly reduce operative time in Le Fort I osteotomies.
  • Improved postoperative comfort and enhanced occlusal control for the surgeon were observed.

Conclusions:

  • A customized bone-borne palatal guide and splint offers a promising solution for enhancing Le Fort I osteotomy.
  • This innovative device addresses the instability of maxillary segmentation, leading to improved surgical outcomes.
  • Further clinical studies are warranted to validate its long-term efficacy and benefits.
