A case of mandibular prognathism treated by modified inverted L ramus osteotomy.

We report on a 20-year-old Japanese man with mandibular prognathism and an abnormal position of inferior alveolar canal. This paper describes the surgical technique and modified intraoral inverted L ramus osteotomy used for mandibular setback. With this technique and examination by computed tomographic scanning, we could perform osteotomy as initially planned and avoid damage to the inferior alveolar nerve.谷口 佳孝, 中原 寛和, 小原 浩, 田中 恵美子, 飯田 征二, 古郷 幹彦, 下顎管の異常走行に対して下顎枝逆L字型骨切り術変法を施行した下顎前突症の1例, 日本口腔外科学会雑誌, 2004, 50 巻, 4 号, p. 227-230, 公開日 2011/04/22, Online ISSN 2186-1579, Print ISSN 0021-5163, https://doi.org/10.5794/jjoms.50.227
