A clinical and cephalometric standardized study of surgical correction of open bite deformity was performed on 19 individuals. The mode of fixation of the maxilla after surgical correction was by direct wires in 9 of the patients combined with suspension wires to the infraorbital rim and in 10 patients plate fixation. The follow-up time was 18 months and the results in both groups were clinically and cephalometrically stable in the short (2 and 6 months) and medium terms (18 months). No statistically significant difference was found between the groups regarding tendency to relapse. It was, however, concluded that the advantages of plate fixation both on clinical grounds and for patient comfort are factors in favour of using miniplates for maxillary surgical procedures.
对19例开颌畸形手术矫治患者进行了临床和头影测量标准化研究。手术矫治后上颌骨的固定方式为：9例患者采用直接钢丝固定并结合眶下缘悬吊钢丝，10例患者采用钢板固定。随访时间为18个月，两组在短期（2个月和6个月）和中期（18个月）的临床和头影测量结果均稳定。两组在复发倾向方面未发现统计学显著差异。然而，得出的结论是，基于临床理由以及患者舒适度考虑，钢板固定的优点是支持在颌骨外科手术中使用微型钢板的因素。
