Orthognathic surgery for asymmetric jaw deformity and clinical observation.

Orthognathic surgery for occlusal reconstruction of old malunited jaw fracture.

Old malunited jaw fractures of nine patients who underwent orthognathic surgery for occlusal reconstruction were clinically evaluated. Early surgery on fractures of the jaw is the optimal treatment when due attention must be paid to occlusion. Since occlusal revision surgery subsequent to inaccurate diagnosis and inappropriate surgery is certainly very difficult and often unsuccessful, surgeons...

Simulated Patient for Orthognathic Surgery

Orthognathic surgery corrects a wide range of minor and major facial and jaw irregularities. This surgery will improve the patients’ ability to chew, speak and breathe. In many cases, a better appearance will also result. With the recent advances in virtual reality (VR) and three-dimensional (3D) medical imaging technology, orthognathic surgery simulations typically requires costly volumetric d...

Bioabsorbable osteofixation for orthognathic surgery

Orthognathic surgery requires stable fixation for uneventful healing of osteotomized bony segments and optimal remodeling. Titanium plates and screws have been accepted as the gold standard for rigid fixation in orthognathic surgery. Although titanium osteofixation is the most widely used approach, the use of bioabsorbable devices has been increasing recently. Biodegradation of bioabsorbable de...
