** Group I: Titanium. Swelling was observed in all patients on the first postoperative day. Diplopia was observed in 5% of patients for 3 months in subgroup A. Palpability was also observed in 5% of cases in subgroup B for 6 months. On the contrary, enophthalmia, paraesthesia, screw breakage, plaque exposure, infection at the site, malocclusion and thermal sensitivity were not observed in the postoperative period and the bite efficiency of all patients was normal in the postoperative period.

** Group II: Biomaterial. As the postoperative complication found in group II - Swelling was observed in all patients on the first postoperative day. Diplopia was observed in 10% of patients, screw rupture was observed in 10% of the patient at the time of surgery, plaque exposure and infection at the site was observed in 10% of cases in the 6-month review. On the contrary, enophthalmia, paresthesia, palpability, thermal sensitivity and malocclusion were not observed in any patient in the postoperative period.
