Plain-language summary

The goal of this study is to determine if the use of calcium phosphate paste in mandibular lengthening surgery causes more complications as surgical site infections and hardware removal. An evaluation will be made to determine if the benefits of the use of the paste (3D-stability, prevention of early relapse and unaesthetic indentation) outweighs the disadvantages.
