  • Title: A modified occlusal wafer for managing partially dentate orthognathic patients--a case series.
    Author: Soneji BK, Esmail Z, Sharma P.
    Journal: J Orthod; 2015 Mar; 42(1):45-52. PubMed ID: 25808382.
    Abstract:
    A multidisciplinary approach is essential in orthognathic surgery to achieve stable and successful outcomes. The model surgery planning is an important aspect in achieving the desired aims. An occlusal wafer used at the time of surgery aids the surgeon during correct placement of the jaws. When dealing with partially dentate patients, the design of the occlusal wafer requires modification to appropriately position the jaw. Two cases with partially dentate jaws are presented in which the occlusal wafer has been modified to provide stability at the time of surgery.
