Patient Specific Intraoral Inverted-L Osteotomy Modified With Inferior Alveolar Nerve Relocation in Corrective Mandibular Surgery

preoperative CBCT was requested for virtual planning and fabrication of cutting and drilling guides. Cutting lines were outlined to be consisted of four cuts; lateral ostectomy to uncover and lateralize the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN), posterior cut run horizontally from the anterior border of the ramus to a point just above the mandibular foramen, two anterior vertical cuts run from the anterior end of the lateral ostectomy to the inferior mandibular border. The guide was removed and the osteotomy lines were completed then the mandibular setback was oriented and fixed using pre-bent plates osteosynthesis. Plane transfer was checked using CBCT and Inferior alveolar nerve function was assessed.
