Condyle Repositioning Using PSI and Prebent Plates Osteosynthesis Versus Conventional Mandibular BSSO Set-back Surgery

Condyle Repositioning Using Patient Specific Guides and Prebent Plates Osteosynthesis Versus Conventional Mandibular Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy Set-back Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Patients with skeletal class III malocclusion were allocated to two groups. Both proximal and distal segments were repositioned using osteotomy/screw holes and plate locating surgical guides with pre-bent plates osteosynthesis in the intervention group, while manual free hand condylar segment seating was used for proximal segment positioning in the control group.

Twenty patients with skeletal class III malocclusion were randomly allocated to two groups. Both proximal and distal segments were repositioned using osteotomy/screw holes and plate locating surgical guides with pre-bent plates osteosynthesis in the intervention group, while manual free hand condylar segment seating was used for proximal segment positioning in the control group. Accuracy of condylar position was assessed using computed tomography.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adult patients complaining of skeletal class III malocclusion that require BSSO for correction of their deformity

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients require bi-maxillary orthognathic surgery
• patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction
