“…Considering this selected population the presence of third molars in the mandible did not have statistical significance between bad split and normal split groups (p = 0.692). These results confirm those presented by KRI-WALSKY et al 13 .…”

“…Other infrequent problems are unfavourable splits and pseudarthrosis. Unfavourable or bad splits are often related to insufficient osteotomies, which can be related to anatomical aberrations, or to the use of superficial osteotomies in an attempt to protect the IAN 10 . Improved preoperative diagnostics did not improve the complication rate 19,24 .…”

“…A significant decrease in incidence did not report during the 20-year period, and neither technical progress nor the surgeon's experience further decreased the frequency of bad splits [45]. It was reported that older patients experienced more bad splits than younger patients [46]. The length of the medial osteotomy line-short or long -did not alter the prevalence of a bad split.…”

Orthognathic surgery is a common approach for treatment of maxillofacial deformities. Sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) is one of the most common techniques used to treat various mandibular deformities. A LeFort I osteotomy is suggested in deformities of the maxilla and can be used along with SSRO or intra-oral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO).The aim of orthognathic surgery is to improve function and facial appearance; this benefits the patient psychologically and socially. Common complications which may occur in orthognathic surgery include vascular disease, temporomandibular joints (TMJ) problems, nerve damage, infection, bone necrosis, periodontal disease, vision impairment, hearing problems, hair loss, and neuropsychiatric problems. Rarely complications could be fatal. Because of the wide range of complications the surgeon should keep prevention protocols in mind and be prepared to treat them should they occur. In this chapter, common complications of various osteotomies in the mandible and maxilla are discussed.
