ABSTRACT

Orthognathic surgery has significantly evolved with the introduction of digital planning techniques and tools such as mandibular sagittal osteotomy, which have allowed for greater precision and predictability in outcomes. In this study, we specifically address a modified mandibular sagittal osteotomy technique, supported by digital planning, designed to avoid contact with the inferior alveolar nerve and reduce postoperative paresthesias. One of the most common complications associated with orthognathic surgery and mandibular sagittal osteotomy are injuries to the inferior alveolar nerve, hence the importance of adequately informing patients about the risks and benefits of the procedure. The proposed technique provides encouraging results based on the absence of postoperative paresthesia.
