Advantages and disadvantages of soluble pins in a double jaw and facial contouring surgery.
Hi, This is Faceline PS clinic.
For those of you who are considering a double jaw and facial contouring, one of the concerns is about the use of pins during surgery.
In general, pins do not go in for simple surgeries.
On the other hand, the jaw-moving surgery, such as a double jaw surgery, an operation that works through a cheekbone, or a T-bone or a jaw-end operation, all of which are fixed by moving the jaw end together, pin is vital.
The role of the plate is to help moved bones bond well in new positions.
So the typical material for fixed pins is titanium, which is commonly used in dentistry, such as implants, which are held in pin and screw shapes. In addition, we also use the wire as a pin.
The purpose of this fixed pin is to keep the bone in motion until it sticks in place. If the bone is still there, it starts to stick for about two weeks, and then it's stuck for six months. So that's the only meaningful period, and that doesn't mean much after that.
I don't think it's a big problem to live with medically. The only thing you can think of is that X-rays reveal them. So when you don't want to let people know what you've done, you may consider removing it.
I usually recommend to remove pins between six months and a year. This is because over time, the pins tend to be hard to be removed, and you may not be able to remove them completely after this period.
So after the surgery, to overcome the disadvantages of X-rays, we came up with a melting pin, absorbent screw and plate. The advantage is that after surgery, they are absorbed and later X-rays are not visible, allowing the removal process to be skipped. But we still use titanium-based pins more than molten ones. This is due to the limitation of the melting pin. Because the melting pin is weaker than titanium, the size of the plates and screws must be very large to maintain the same fixation force, and it is difficult to apply them to detailed surgery.
Since the strength is weaker than titanium, the fixing process may take 1.5 to 2 times longer.
Most of all, melting pins are very expensive, and depending on the operation, they can increase the cost by up to 30 percent.
Melting pins may not be applied depending on individual conditions, so if you are considering melting pins, you should check with your specialist to make your selection.
