Biomechanical stress distribution on fixation screws used in bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy: Assessment of 9 methods via finite element method
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the biomechanical stress tolerance of screws used in 9 fixation methods after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy to determine which configuration leads to lesser force load on the cortical bone at fixation points. Materials and Methods: A 3-dimensio...
