The Assessment of Neurosensory Disturbance Following Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy With Subjective and Three-Dimensional Evaluation.

Purpose: Inferior alveolar neurosensory disturbance (IAND) is the most common complication of bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). The aim of the present study was to evaluate IAND with subjective tests postoperatively and assess the relationship between three-dimensional measurements of the mandibular canal (MC) and IAND.

Methods: Eighteen patients (Mean age: 24.

Postoperative Positional and Dimensional Changes of Mandibular Canal after Bilateral Sagittal Split Set-Back Osteotomy.

Objective: This preliminary study was planned to provide information about preoperative mandibular canal (MC) position and the postoperative positional changes of MC and length in three dimensions, with the purpose of providing some assistance in reducing inferior alveolar neurosensory disturbance (IAND).

Methods: MC was examined on CBCT data using SimPlant Pro Standalone 13.0.
