Application of Segmented Template in Three-Dimensionally Guided Mandibular Angle Osteotomy

Conclusions: The custom-made template can guide the osteotomy plane during the MAO procedure and achieve favorable accuracy and symmetry. Direct contact of the saw with the guidance template not only facilitates control of the osteotomy line but also the oblique angle of the osteotomy plane. This methodology may be a feasible and effective tool for mandibular contouring.
