Re: Re: Mandibular Wing Osteotomy: technical modification

We thank Dr Brusco for his interest in our recent paper and for his valuable comments on the use of 3-dimensional printed cutting guides for use with the chin wing technique of osteotomy. His concerns are well-founded, but while we also wish to gain the best aesthetic result, we think that the introduction of new techniques to minimise the risk of permanent damage to the inferior alveolar nerve should not be avoided, particularly at a tertiary centre that trains residents as one of its main purposes.
