Materials and Methods: A retrospective evaluation of eight patients who underwent concomitant removal of their lower wisdom teeth (either fully erupted, partially or fully bone impacted) at the time of their surgical procedure (Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy with/without LeFort 1 procedure/genioplasty). All patients presented to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department at Case Western Reserve University. Postoperative complications (including pain, nerve dysfunction, swelling and infection) were examined at regular follow-up appointments after their surgical procedure. Results: A total of eight patients were examined for post operative complications. All patients confirmed the presence of mild pain/discomfort/swelling in the short-term postoperatively.
