Abstract
Nine patients underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomies of the mandible. The osteotomies were fixed using two self-reinforced poly-L-lactide screws. No maxillomandibular fixation was used postoperatively. The preliminary results with the shortest follow-up of 15 months show that primary healing was normal. No late-term clinical complications were encountered during the follow-up, the longest of which is now 23 months.Entities:
