[Dentobasal correction of mandible with a bilateral bisagittal split].

Abstract

The combination of conventional sagittal splitting [Obwegeser 1955] with a sagittal osteotomy of the mandibular basal bone placed mesial to the mental foramen, which is made possible after the separation of the anterior dentoalveolar segment, enables a correction in the transverse, sagittal and vertical planes of the basal and dentoalveolar segments of the mandible.
