ABSTRACT
This study was performed to assess the effect of correcting skeletal class II malocclusion based on the application of computer-assisted design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) cutting and drilling guides accompanied with pre-bent titanium plates. Fifty patients with skeletal class II malocclusion were recruited into this prospective randomized controlled clinical trial and assigned to two groups. Patients underwent bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy directed by CAD/CAM cutting and drilling guides accompanied with pre-bent titanium plates (group A) or CAD/CAM splints (group B). Postoperative assessments were performed. Differences between the virtually simulated and postoperative models were measured. Patients in both groups had a satisfactory occlusion and appearance. More accurate repositioning of the proximal segment was found in group A than in group B when comparing linear and angular differences to reference planes; however, no significant difference was revealed for the distal segment. In conclusion, CAD/CAM cutting and drilling guides with pre-bent titanium plates can provide considerable surgical accuracy for the positional control of the proximal segments in bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy for the correction of skeletal class II deformities.
