Minimally Invasive Orthognathic Surgery (MIOS): Modern Strategies for Predictable Functional and Esthetic Excellence
Lecture up to 1 hour
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery | AGD Subject Code 370
Orthognathic surgery has evolved beyond correcting skeletal discrepancies. Today, it plays a fundamental role in achieving facial harmony while minimizing surgical morbidity.
This lecture introduces the principles of Minimally Invasive Orthognathic Surgery (MIOS), a modern surgical philosophy that combines precise skeletal movements with soft tissue preservation to improve both functional and esthetic outcomes.
Through clinical cases and practical surgical strategies, participants will learn how minimally invasive techniques can enhance surgical precision, accelerate recovery, and achieve predictable results. Special emphasis will be placed on integrating orthognathic surgery with modern dental esthetics and interdisciplinary treatment planning, demonstrating how precise skeletal positioning creates the foundation for optimal occlusion, smile design, facial harmony, and long-term restorative success.
Upon completion of this session, the attendees should be able to:
- Describe the fundamental principles of Minimally Invasive Orthognathic Surgery (MIOS) and their application in modern orthognathic surgery.
- Identify surgical strategies that preserve soft tissues while improving functional, facial, and dental esthetic outcomes.
- Apply MIOS principles into interdisciplinary treatment planning to optimize occlusion, smile design, facial harmony, and long-term restorative success.
