Efficacy of Sagittal Split Fix Plates with Adjustable Slider for Intra-operative Identification and Correction of Condylar Sag in Sagittal Split Osteotomy-a Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To assess the efficacy of sagittal split plate with adjustable slider for intra-operative correction of condylar sag after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy.

Subjects and methods

Patients reporting for correction of mandibular skeletal deformities for correction with sagittal split osteotomy (SSRO) were enrolled in the study. Simple randomization method was followed for patient allocation. Patients in group A had undergone fixation sagittal split fix plates; in group B, miniplate fixation with monocortical screws was used. Occlusion was the key indicator of condylar sage that was checked at different time frames (intra-operatively T0, immediate T1, 6 months postoperatively T2). Preoperative, immediate and late postoperative (at 6 months and 1-year interval) and lateral
