Complications From the Use of Calcium Phosphate Paste in Mandibular Lengthening Osteotomies

NCT02918344 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 196

Last updated 2025-12-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this study is to determine if the use of calcium phosphate paste in mandibular lengthening surgery causes more complications as surgical site infections and hardware removal.

An evaluation will be made to determine if the benefits of the use of the paste (3D-stability, prevention of early relapse and unaesthetic indentation) outweighs the disadvantages.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Hydroset

Calcium phosphate paste is used in mandibular lengthening surgery to avoid an unaesthetic notching at the lower border and to help stabilize the segments when osteosynthesis slippage is feared for.

PROCEDURE

Standard sagittal split osteotomy

The sagittal split osteotomy (SSO) is commonly used to correct dentofacial discrepancies.
