Abstract

Objective : To compare two different methods of rigid fixation in postoperative stability after mandibular setback. Material 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 genial 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. Results : 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 .
