    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study presents a modified visor/sandwich osteotomy for atrophic mandible reconstruction. The procedure showed variable bone resorption rates, most significant in the initial post-operative months.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Atrophic mandible presents challenges in reconstruction.
    • The visor/sandwich osteotomy is a surgical technique used for mandibular augmentation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a modified one-stage osteotomy-sulcoplasty procedure for treating the atrophic mandible.
    • To assess the outcomes of this modified technique over a 12-month period.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified visor/sandwich osteotomy-sulcoplasty was performed in seven patients with severe mandibular atrophy.
    • Vertical bone dimensions were measured clinically and cephalometrically at the symphysis and premolar regions.
    • Measurements were taken over a 12-month post-operative follow-up period.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The modified technique was evaluated in seven cases with limited vertical bone.
    • Bone resorption rates varied significantly between different mandibular regions.
    • The most pronounced bone resorption occurred within the first three months post-operatively.

    Conclusions:

    • The one-stage osteotomy-sulcoplasty modification for atrophic mandible treatment demonstrates variable bone resorption.
    • Further investigation is needed to optimize outcomes and minimize resorption in specific mandibular areas.
