[Fixation screws and tension bolt technique for osteotomies. Stability study].
Following sagittal mandibular osteotomy the mandibles of Class II patients were stabilized using two different fixation techniques. It was the goal of this study to delineate the effects of these two techniques on stability. The patient population was approximately the same on both groups. 1 year after surgery differences in stability were not found. The functional and esthetic results, too, were equal in both groups.
