First of all, we would like to thank our colleagues for their kind words regarding
our article “Density of the mandibular ramus (cancellous:cortical bone volume ratio)
as a predictor of the lingual fracture pattern in bilateral sagittal split osteotomy”.

In this article, we investigated the association between lingual fracture patterns
after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) and the cortical and cancellous bone
volume in the mandibular ramus. We found that mandibular angles with a relatively
small amount of cancellous bone showed more ventral (LSS3) lingual fracture lines
(p = 0.043) and more unfavourable fractures (p = 0.143). We thank our colleagues for appreciating these findings as worthy clinical
results.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
