Abstract

The basis of a precise and uncomplicated sagittal split is a controlled and systematic approach. Cornerstones of the orientation are topographical-anatomical points/landmarks, which should be surgically identified in every case and at all times in order to be able to constantly have orientation for the surgical process. This prevents disorientation and possible complications caused by loss of control, which the novice will throw off course. Step by step and according to the rules the surgical process must strictly be followed. It is divided into five sections.
