Complications after mandibular sagittal split osteotomy.

Sagittal split osteotomy has been performed routinely for correction of mandibular prognathism, retrognathia, mild open bite, and asymmetry. Intraoperative and early or late postoperative complications were evaluated in 258 patients operated on by this technique. With meticulous performance of the operation and long-term maxillomandibular fixation, complications can be negligible, and relapse, the most problematic postoperative issue, can be significantly reduced.

Postoperative results of posterior maxillary osteotomy after long-term immobilization.

We have treated 22 patients for correction of open bite, using a one-stage posterior maxillary osteotomy, by two different techniques. Relapse was the most significant postoperative complication after this procedure. To avoid the high incidence and, particularly, the severity of this complication, we used long-term (11 to 12 weeks) maxillomandibular fixation to provide for neuromuscular adaptation to the newly derived rest position in the mandible.

Extractions in the presence of acute infections.

Of 1,376 extractions performed in the presence of acute infection, 327 were performed in the presence of a coexisting fascial space abscess. No serious complications were observed. It seems that the relation of dental operations to the intracranial infections has been overestimated. The extraction of teeth in cases of acute suppurative infection treats the primary dentoalveolar infection and prevents the development of fascial space abscesses.
