Research from Hiroshima University Has Provided New Study Findings on Osteotomy (Comparison of Skeletal Stability after Le Fort I Osteotomy With Bone Fixation Using Biodegradable and Titanium Systems: A Retrospective Study).

A study conducted by Hiroshima University compared the long-term skeletal stability of bone segments after maxillary osteotomy using biodegradable and titanium osteosynthesis systems. The study included 45 patients who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy, with 28 in the biodegradable group and 17 in the titanium group. The research found that there were no significant differences in skeletal stability between the two systems. However, the study cautioned that the findings should be interpreted with caution due to the small sample size and limited movement of the maxillary segment. [Extracted from the article]
