ABSTRACT
Described in 2006 by Wang et al sagittal curve mentoplasty is defined as a osteotomy performed in the shortest thickness parasymphysis that reduce the risk of postoperative sensorineural lesions in soft tissue chin. Material and methods: A prospective longitudinal and cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the neurosensory response, contact detection, thermal testing and motor response from the first to the sixth month postoperatively of seven patients undergoing sagittal curve mentoplasty between January and March 2014 in Hospital «Centennial of the Mexican Revolution» and Hospital «Dr. Dario Fernandez Fierro», ISSSTE. Results: All patients were satisfied with the cosmetic result. Of the seven patients operated, three mentioned that the tests were transient tenderness bilateral sensorineural deficiency, two on the right and one on the left, which improved from the third month of postoperative. A temperature tests mentioned five decreased to thermal stimulation and two mentioned normal response to the second month. A motor response none of the seven patients reported abnormal changes. Conclusions: Sensorineural complications decreases significantly with the sagittal curve mentoplasty due to his design, on the basis of the anatomy using as a benchmark the smaller thickness of the mandibular ridge. The approach is lesser, without handling the mental nerve and do not requires the detachment of the mylohyoid muscle.REFERENCES
