Abstract:

Deviation from the anticipated surgical plan, resulting from pre-emptive improvement of unforeseen circumstances, exposes practitioners to a tense operative environment. However, this improvisation inspires innovation and creativity in achieving a beneficial result. In this report we describe various improvisation techniques explored in several facets of maxillofacial and oral surgery. These techniques may be valuable alternatives to conventional practice in order to achieve the surgical goal and minimize adverse outcomes.
