title: [The blood supply of the jaw mucoperiostea and its significances in orthognathic surgery].
abstract: The blood supply and vascular architecture of maxillary and mandibular mucoperiostea were studied in 14 cadavers with methods of ABS resin casting mould and angiography. It was found that the arterial blood of the mucoperiostea comes from an extraskeletal blood system. The distribution of each arterial branch is limited to a certain area. These results are significant in design of incision in orthognathic surgery.
