Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › Academic

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.
