| Abstract | ||
| Aims:Evaluation of new surgical approach to anterior maxillary segmental osteotomy (AMSO). Materials and Methods: Twenty five jaws operated on for AMSO with the use of three sided flap, using sulcular type of incision of the soft tissues to access the bone to be osteotomized. Patients underwent surgical correction under general anesthesia and follow up extended postoperatively till complete healing process occurred nearly six months later. Results: From the total number of cases, twenty four jaws healed properly; and only one jaw (premaxilla) was lost due to necrosis of bone with loss of the associated teeth due to accidental and complete detachment of bone from the overlying soft tissues during surgery, although this procedure offers the avoidance of loss of any part of the soft tissue envelope. Conclusion: The three sided sulcular incision doesn’t interfere with blood supply of both hard & soft tissues, with many advantages over other types of access flaps. | ||
