Osteotomia em wing: relato de caso clínico

Abstract

Orthognathic surgery aims to correct facial and maxillomandibular irregularities, with proper dental positioning, aiming at improving the quality of mastication and speech, and in many cases, a harmonious and more aesthetic facial appearance. Thus, individuals who sought this type of procedure include since altered occlusion or for aesthetic reasons. The main advantages of the osteotomy in Wing would be the gain and definition of the mandibular angle together with the correction of the projection of the chin, without the need for a fracture that would harm both the lower alveolar nerve, as long as performed with virtual planning and cutting guides.Still, the technique can be combined with other osteotomies, in an attempt to obtain better results in cases of large mandibular asymmetries. The present work aims to report the case of a standard II patient who underwent this technical modification using surgical guides manufactured through virtual surgical planning.
