Skeletal stability following bioresorbable versus titanium fixation in orthognathic surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Despite developments in bioresorbable fixation over recent decades, controversy remains regarding skeletal stability following the use of this material in orthognathic surgery. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated evidence from the international literature from studies comparing skeletal stability between bioresorbable and titanium fixation in orthognathic surgery. Key words were searched in MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library, and relevant journals and reference lists were searched for additional material, up to January 2017.
