Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To compare two different methods of rigid fixation in postoperative stability after mandibular setback.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
28 patients with Class III malocclusion were treated by bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy(BSSRO) and mandibular setback were selected for this study. Group A(n=14) had the bone segments fixed with monocortical miniplate on the lateral side of the mandibular body and Group B(n=14) had three noncompressive bicortical screw inserted at the gonial area through a transcutaneous approach. Cephalograms were taken preoperatively, postoperatively within 1 weeks and at a follow-up period (mean 8.9 months after surgery) and the amount of setback and postoperative change were measured. RESULS: Postoperative relapse between two groups was minimal in setback of the mandible. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference in postoperative relapse.
CONCLUSION
This study suggests that both methods of skeletal fixation investigated give comparable postoperative stability and their use in mandibular setback appears to be a fairly stable clinical procedure.
