Standard Plate Design for Segmented Mandibular Osteotomy With Genioplasty

Mandibular symphysis segmentation for the correction of transverse deformities has been recently described in the literature, highlighting its potential in the management of dentofacial deformities. However, the use of osteosynthesis systems in this context has not yet been fully standardized, mainly due to the difficulty of obtaining standard plates with specific designs for these procedures. The aim of this report is to present a solution to this limitation using a standard plate that provides adequate spacing and 3-dimensional stability. This approach optimizes the osteosynthesis stage, reduces the amount of material required, and shortens surgical time.

Abstract

Mandibular symphysis segmentation for the correction of transverse deformities has been recently described in the literature, highlighting its potential in the management of dentofacial deformities. However, the use of osteosynthesis systems in this context has not yet been fully standardized, mainly due to the difficulty of obtaining standard plates with specific designs for these procedures. The aim of this report is to present a solution to this limitation using a standard plate that provides adequate spacing and 3-dimensional stability. This approach optimizes the osteosynthesis stage, reduces the amount of material required, and shortens surgical time.
