چکیده

This paper presents a case of a female patient with severe skeletal Class III due to pronounced mandibular macrognathia combined with maxillary hypoplasia. The patient was treated with 2-jaw osteotomy in conjunction with preand post-operative orthodontic treatment. Resorbable surgical plates and screws were used for the orthognathic surgery to avoid potential complications from the use of metal plates and screws, even though fixation provided by metal plates is stronger than that provided by resorbable plates. 5 years following treatment, there has been no relapse. Our conclusion is that the resorbable plates and screw provided sufficient fixation and stability with no complications.
