GP4a - Orthognathic Plenary: Orthognathic Fight Night

Friday, October 2, 2026
8:00 AM - 10:00 AM PDT
CE: 2.0 CDE/CME

Recorded<br><i>This session will be recorded and available beginning Oct. 19</i>

This session will define the low and short modification of the bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) technique. Speakers will identify and analyze its technical variation to allow participants to take away the confidence to perform the procedures and understand arguments against it. Discussions will focus on distinguishing the pros and cons of stock versus custom hardware in orthognathic surgery including cost, effect on OR time and outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
  1. Describe the low and short modification of the BSSO.
  2. Compare and contrast the low and short versus a traditional BSSO technique.
  3. Summarize the points for utilization of stock versus custom hardware as it pertains to cost, time, outcomes and more nuanced selection (data-driven conversations).
