REVIEW ON SAGITTAL SPLIT RAMUS OSTEOTOMY
Abstract
Background: One of the most common surgical techniques in orthognathic surgery is sagittal split mandibular ramus osteotomy, which is used to twist, set back, and advance the distal (tooth-bearing) part of the mandible. The original method, as reported by Trauner and Obwegeser, has undergone several changes.
Methods: The Medline, Pubmed, Embase, NCBI, and Cochrane databases were searched for studies of Sagittal split ramus osteotomy.
Conclusion: Sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) and (BSSO) is a popular surgical treatment used in orthognathic surgery to address mandibular deformities such as malocclusion or mandibular asymmetry. By realigning the jaw and splitting the mandibular ramus, SSRO can improve both beauty and function.
