Mechanical evaluation of six techniques for stable fixation of the sagittal split osteotomy after counterclockwise mandibular advancement

We have evaluated the resistance to displacement of six stable methods of fixation of a sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) in the mandibular advancement with counterclockwise rotation. We tested 60 synthetic hemimandibles in six groups of 10 each: Group I – fixation with a straight four-hole 2.0mm miniplate; Group II – a straight six-hole 2.0mm miniplate; Group III – two straight 2.0mm four-hole miniplates; Group IV – an eight-hole 2.0mm (grid plate); Group V – a 2.0mm four-hole straight miniplate and 2.0×12mm bicortical screw; and Group VI – a straight four-hole 2.0mm locking miniplate.
