Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of LIPUS treatment in improving patient’s comfort post Orthognathic surgery

Materials and methods: This observational study includes patients requiring orthognathic surgery [Sagittal split osteotomy] for either esthetic or functional improvements and corrections. Patients were provided with written informed consent for the participation. Patients were treated with LIPUS stimulator with 1.5MHz, 30Mw/cm² for 20 minutes postoperatively. The outcome parameters assessed were postoperative wound healing on days 3,5,10,15 and radiographic changes on weeks 4,6,8.

Results: The study variables were analysed using mann whitney test.

Conclusions: LIPUS therapy helps to reduce postoperative side effects. It speeds up fracture repair, enhances wound healing, and lessens postoperative pain and accelerates overall quality of life and comfort of patients in the post operative period.
