Stability of different fixation methods after reduction malarplasty under average and maximum masticatory forces: a finite element analysis
Abstract Background Although titanium plates/screws are effective fixation methods (FM) after L-shaped osteotomy reduction malarplasty (LORM), the ideal FM remains controversial. This first finite element analysis (FEA) aimed to study the effect of various zygomatic body/zygomatic arch FM combinatio...
