Single-jaw patient-specific implants in bimaxillary orthognathic surgery: Randomized cross-controlled comparison between maxilla-guided and mandible-guided approach.

This randomized trial aims to compare the efficacy of Patient Specific Implants in bimaxillary orthognathic surgery via maxilla-guided or mandible-guided technique, focusing on the accuracy of pre-operative planning transfer in the operating room. Twenty patients with dentoskeletal dysmorphism were enrolled and virtual surgical planning (VSP) was performed. Subsequently, they underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery using either a maxilla-guided or a mandible-guided approach, as determined via a blind randomization process.
