Effect of modified bilateral sagittal split osteotomy on inferior alveolar nerve neurosensory disturbance.

The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of neurosensory disturbance of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) following modified mandibular bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) that preserves the mandibular inferior border. All patients undergoing BSSO, associated or not with a Le Fort I osteotomy (performed by the same senior operator) between January 2018 and December 2019, were eligible. The modified BSSO consists of a modification of the technique described by Epker: the bony section of the buccal cortex stops 3-4 mm above the basal mandibular edge.

Surgical training 2.0: A systematic approach reviewing the literature focusing on oral maxillofacial surgery - Part I.

Purpose: Many technologies are emerging in the medical field. Having an overview of the technological arsenal available to train new surgeons seems very interesting to guide subsequent surgical training protocols.

Methods: This article is a systematic approach reviewing new technologies in surgical training, in particular in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
