Abstract: | A comparative study of occlusal wafers for orthognathic surgery made for 185 orthognathic surgery patients with the mean age of 24.4+/-4.3 years is presented. This study is intended to highlight any wafer-associated surgical problems, which determine wafer design. Various types of occlusal wafers were used during the period of this review, but in most of the cases a simple quick-cure acrylic wafer was found to be most satisfactory. However, some difficult patients with cleft palates or neuromuscular disorders may require wafers of a novel design and material. |
