The treatment of bone malocclusion often requires a combination of orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. This surgery mainly involves several types of osteotomies to move the jaw block in order to correct a wide spectrum of dentofacial deformities (Patel & Novia, 2007). These osteotomies inevitably create a wedge-shaped osteotomy gap. Thus, bone gap repair is an important process after surgery. All patients of clinical orthodontic and orthognathic doctors expect an accelerated and well-done stable repair.Bone repair is a multistage and complicated process (Ghiasi et al., 2017) involving osteoclastic bone resorption and osteoblastic
