Sagittal split ostotomy for deeply pathology of the mandible

During the presentation we’ll be showing a very practical approach to access of the very deeply pathology of the mandible. We mentioned pathology because sometimes third molars are impacted, but others, the presence the impacted teeth is associated with big cyst or other entities, and put the mandible in serious danger of fracture. The oral and maxillofacial surgeon is able to perform a sagittal split osteotomy as one of the most frequent procedures in orthognathic surgery. That ability can be used in order to avoid a big bone lost as when a traditional approach is performed. We’ll be analysing pros and cons of both types of procedures.
