ABSTRACT

Orthognathic surgery is the treatment of choice for the correction of congenital or acquired dentofacial deformities; in a minority of cases, the techniques involved can be applied to tumor resection and to treat sleep apnea. This type of surgery is usually performed between the second and third decades of life. The benefits obtained include a better chewing function, stable results in severe dentofacial anomalies, and improved facial aesthetics. However, even the most experienced surgeon can encounter a range of issues, most notably vascular, technical, nervous, periodontal, infectious, ophthalmic, psychological, those related to occlusion, and bone necrosis. Some of these can be discussed in detail with the patient prior to the procedure. Nevertheless, orthognathic surgery treatment can be considered a safe procedure. Complications can be classified into three types: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative, the latter two being the most common.
