Abstract

The aim of this poster is to report a new technique of total osteotomy of the basilar mandible, including mandibular synphysis, also known as Wing Osteotomy. This technique was used to restore antero-posterior deformities of the lower third of the face in a class I bite patient. A 54-year-old woman with class II profile and class I bite was submitted to Wing Osteotomy. The goal of the surgery was the treatment of anteroposterior deformity, advancing the inferior border of the mandible. The surgery was planned by clinical evaluation and the guides were performed using Dolphin Image, which generates a .STL file to prototype the surgical guides improving technique and results
