Abstract
A bilateral sagittal split osteotomy was performed on seven fresh cadaver mandibles. Three different systems of fixation were mechanically tested on 14 sites. Tensile diagrams were obtained in which the (offset-) yield point was measured. This resulted in mean yield stresses of 199 N for bi-cortical self-tapping screws (n = 6), 49 N for miniplates with monocortical screws (n = 5), and 113 N for bi-cortical biodegradable rods (n = 3).Entities:
