Forty years after the introduction of sagittal split osteotomy for transposition of the mandible according to Obwegeser, very different procedures for osteosynthesis are still discussed and practised. In a simple biomechanical model in the porcine mandible, five different methods for osteosynthesis using metallic screws (titanium, cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy) and one using a polymer screw (polylactic acid-copolymer blend), as well as the use of miniplates, were studied with regard to the stability of the compound. The Kruskal-Wallis H-test (variance analysis by ranks) showed statistically highly significant differences (P = 0.00017) regarding maximum stability. Osteosynthesis by miniplates was very stable with regard to the maximum load (Fmax = 234 N +/- 47), but not so in terms of three-dimensional stability of the osteosynthesis itself. The highest stability of osteosynthesis with screws only (Fmax = 183 N +/- 65) was found for a 2.7-mm titanium screw in triangular geometry. The use of 2.7-mm cobalt-chromium-molybdenum screws (Fmax = 173 N +/- 42) and 3.5-mm titanium screws (Fmax = 160 N +/- 76) did not make an statistical difference (P = 0.37). The mechanical values of 2.0-mm titanium screws in linear (Fmax = 113 N +/- 37) or triangular (Fmax = 136 N +/- 62) geometry and of 3.5-mm polylactic acid-copolymer blend screws (Fmax = 121 N +/- 33) did not differ statistically from each other (P = 0.75) but they did from the previous group (P = 0.019). In consideration of the low biting forces following sagittal split osteotomy, all tested procedures of osteosynthesis meet the mechanical requirements for clinical practice.
