Resumen
Background: To describe a technical feature that increases the stability of the intermediate splint in patients where bimaxillary surgery with great maxillary/mandibular advancements are planned. Material and Methods: Prospective evaluation of the intermediate splint dental vertical penetration in patients undergoing bimaxillary surgery where great sagittal discrepancy occur in the anterior sector between the upper and lower jaws when the intermediate splint is placed by adding an extra intermaxillary fixation (IMF) screw (2x9 mm) placed between the central incisors of the maxilla and fixed to the most anterior aspect of the intermediate splint following the direction of the sagittal maxillo-mandibular discrepancy from January to September 2018. Results: The postoperative evaluation comparing the accuracy of conventional fixation versus fixation with an extra anterior anchorage point through photographic assessment and intraoral digital scanner demonstrated better dental penetration, and therefore improved intermediate splint precision with the latter in all cases Conclusions: Our results suggest that this is a simple and safe technique that can be easily reproduced and optimizes the outcomes by increasing the accuracy of translation of the planned surgical movements to the operating
room.
