Anterior oblique osteotomy for mandibular advancements: highlighting a minimally invasive solution.
Article in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveBilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) is widely used for mandibular advancements but is often associated with complications such as nerve disturbances, limited angle projection, and mandibular notching. This study describes a modification, the anterior oblique osteotomy (AOO), within the minimally invasive orthognathic surgery (MIOS) concept, addressing these challenges.
methodsA single-center retrospective study was conducted involving 30 patients who underwent bimaxillary surgery using AOO. Pre- and postoperative computed tomography scans were analyzed to measure the increase in posterior mandibular height.
resultsThe mean mandibular advancement was 7.8 mm, with no unfavorable splits or nerve injuries. All patients achieved full recovery of the inferior alveolar nerve by two weeks postoperatively. Significant improvements in posterior mandibular height were observed, increasing from 58.3 mm preoperatively to 67.2 mm postoperatively (p < 0.001). No cases of non-union, malunion, malocclusion, or relapse were reported during follow-up.
conclusionsThe AOO technique, when applied within the MIOS framework, presents a viable alternative to traditional BSSO, it offers reduced morbidity and enhanced aesthetic results. Further studies, including control groups, are recommended to confirm the long-term stability of the vertical increase and clinical outcomes.
