Comparative Study of Biomechanical Stability Of Resorbable And Titanium Fixation Systems After Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy With A Novel Designed In-Vitro Testing Unit

Sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) is one of the most popular surgical procedures for correction of mandibular deformities. Several clinical and biomechanical studies exist in the literature which, comparing the stability of different osteosynthesis materials and techniques, were performed using two or three-point biomechanical test models. The aim of this study was to compare the stability of biodegradable and titanium materials for SSRO on one-piece polyurethane mandible samples which were fixed in a novel designed 6-point testing unit.
