Title : Sagittal split ostotomy for deeply pathology of the mandible
Abstract:
During the presentation, we’ll be showing a very practical approach to the access of the very deep pathology of the mandible. We mentioned pathology because sometimes third molars are impacted, but in others, the presence of the impacted teeth is associated with big cysts 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 loss as when a traditional approach is performed. We’ll be analyzing pros and cons of both types of procedures.
Audience Takes Away Notes:
- You’ll be able to categorize the risk of a pathological fracture of the mandible
- You’ll have the possibility of knowing an alternative approach to the deep of the mandible
- You’ll be able to establish the possibility of using this method and to refer the patient
