“…Coburn DG (2002) [6] reported a case of fracture of screw at the junction of screw head and threaded portion. He recommended a careful drilling of bur hole, with slow bur speed and copious irrigation with sterile saline.…”

Resumen: Durante la última década se ha introducido el tornillo de bloqueo intermaxilar como método de fijación maxilomandibular en el tratamiento de las fracturas de mandíbula. El propósito del estudio es evaluar las complicaciones de la técnica y la yatrogenia dental que derivan de su aplicación durante un periodo de 4 años. Se han revisado un total de 62 pacientes y 272 tornillos y, aunque han aparecido complicaciones, su incidencia es baja.

“…1,2,4,8,9 There are also some clinical reports that demonstrated the viability of using a mini-screw for skeletal anchorage to support a variety of orthodontic tooth movements. [5][6][7][8]10 However, these reports did not describe the usefulness of an IMF screw in orthognathic surgery.…”

“…In the previous studies regarding mandibular fracture, Coburn et al 4 reported that one hundred and twenty-two patients with mandibular fractures had IMF screws. Five patients (4%) developed complications including fracture of the screws on insertion, iatrogenic damage to teeth causing tooth loss and bony sequestra around the area of screw placement.…”

Key words: IMF (inter-maxillary fixation) screw, sagittal split ramus osteotomy, cephalogram 1 Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess skeletal stability after mandibular setback surgery with and without an inter-maxillary fixation (IMF) screw. Subjects and Methods:The subjects consisted of 40 patients with mandibular prognathism. The subjects underwent sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) with titanium plate fixation and were divided into two groups, one with and one without an IMF screw. A lateral cephalogram was done preoperatively, immediately after surgery, and 1 month, 3 months and 6 months postoperatively. The two groups were then compared statistically. Results:In the comparison of the time-course change between the two groups with repeated measure ANOVA, there were significant differences in occlusal plane (between subjects, F=2.517; df=4; P=0.0437) and convexity (between subjects, F=4.048; df=4; P=0.0038). However, there was no significant difference in the other measurements. Conclusion:This study suggested that in most measurements, there was no significant difference between two groups with and without IMF screw in time-course skeletal change. However, use of IMF screw was helpful for orthognathic surgery as a rigid anchor of IMF.
