Abstract
During the genioplasty procedure, the mental nerve is at risk of injury. Careful subperiosteal dissection, retraction, and protection of the nerve during the osteotomy helps to prevent injuries to the nerve (Bell et al. Surgical correction of dentofacial deformities, Band 1–3. Saunders, 1980; Joos et al. Fortschr Kiefer Gesichtschir 26:86, 1981; Fonsecca et al. Oral and maxillofacial surgery, Saunders, 2009; Hofer.
