Stability of locking and conventional 2.0-mm miniplate/screw systems after sagittal split ramus osteotomy: finite element analysis.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical stresses over the bone and hardware after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) fixed with standard titanium or locking plate/screws using finite element analysis. STUDY DESIGN: A ... Read more...

Modification of the sagittal split osteotomy of the mandibular ramus: mobilizing vertical osteotomy of the internal ramus segment.

30 Jul 2009 PURPOSE: We describe a new surgical procedure to improve stability when counterclockwise rotation of the maxillomandibular complex and the occlusal plane is intended. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This preliminary prospective study evaluated 10 patients (8 ... Read more...

Biomechanical effects of fixed functional appliance on craniofacial structures.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate displacement and stress distribution on craniofacial structures associated with fixed functional therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A finite element model of the human skull was constructed from sequential computed tomography ... Read more...
