Abstract
If during a sagittal split osteotomy a buccal plate fracture occurs, it inevitably results in a time-consuming procedure with, in many cases, hypoesthesia of the mental region as a consequence of manipulation of the inferior alveolar nerve. We would like to present a novel technique to solve a (threatening) buccal plate fracture that is quick and easy to perform, and has thus far not resulted in hypoesthesia.
