So-called “bad split” may not be “bad” when the split is on the buccal side: technical note

In a sagittal split ramus osteotomy, the split in the ramus on the buccal side is generally called a "bad split". However, we think that it is "good" rather than "bad" when it refers to a case with asymmetry or a transverse cant, because there is no bony interference on the most posterior aspect.
