Brief Summary
The bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) of the mandible is one of the most used surgical techniques to achieve a harmonious jaw relation in the context of orthognathic surgery. Nevertheless, one of its main complications is neurosensory damage to the inferior alveolar nerve, which can cause severe impact in the quality of life on patients who suffer from it permanently. The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to provide rigorous scientific evidence of the pharmacological effect of 1) Melatonin, 2) combination uridine triphosphate (UTP), cytidine monophosphate (CMP), and hydroxycobalamin (UTP/CMP/hydroxycobalamin) and 3) hydroxycobalamin regarding neurosensory disturbances incidence and persistence after BSSO.

Study Arms (4)
Citoneurone
EXPERIMENTALGroups A will receive the pharmacology treatment with 1.5 mg uridine triphosphate, 2.5 mg cytidine monophosphate and 1 mg hydroxycobalamin (Citoneurone). One capsule orally three times a day for 60 days as suggested by the manufacturer for patients with trauma - compressive peripheral neural disorders.
Melatonin
EXPERIMENTALGroup B will receive the pharmacology treatment with 10 mg Melatonin. One capsule orally at night for 60 days.
Hydroxycobalamin
EXPERIMENTALGroup C will receive the pharmacology treatment with 1 mg hydroxycobalamin (vitamin B12). One capsule daily for 60 days.
Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORThe controls will receive 1 capsule placebo containing 5 mg starch to be taken once daily.
Interventions
