Impact of Orthodontic-Surgical Treatments on the Signs and Symptoms of Temporomandibular Disorders: A Systematic Review. Dent J (Basel) 2024; 12:132. [PMID: 38786530 PMCID: PMC11120548 DOI: 10.3390/dj12050132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Some patients exhibit temporomandibular joint or muscular disorders of the masticatory system before, during, or after orthognathic surgery (OS). These are collectively referred to as temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). This systematic literature review aimed to determine the relationship between orthodontic-surgical treatment and TMDs. METHODS An electronic search of the PubMed database, supplemented by a manual search, was performed; the search included any studies published between 2021 (date of the last search in a systematic review of the literature on the subject) and June 2023 that evaluate the prevalence of TMDs during orthodontic-surgical treatment. The diagnosis of TMDs had to be established using the diagnostic algorithm "diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (DC/TMDs)", and the diagnosis of disc displacement had to be confirmed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The data were extracted and statistically analyzed. RESULTS Of the 100 results, seven eligible articles were included, representing a total of 529 cases undergoing orthodontic-surgical treatment. A reduction in joint noises (64.8%), arthralgia (57 to 77%), and myalgia (73 to 100%) was found after orthodontic-surgical treatment despite the fact that a minority of patients exhibited these signs and symptoms even though they were asymptomatic before treatment. The effects of OS on disc position were objectively unpredictable. After surgery, the presence of headaches decreased without significance and the risk of their occurrence was very low (1%). The studies converged toward a reduction in the amplitudes of mouth opening and lateral/protrusion movements. Finally, after the treatment, mandibular function was improved. CONCLUSION Under the conditions of this study, OS seems to have a positive impact on the signs and symptoms of TMDs; however, it is not possible to predict the consequential effects on the position of the TMJ disc, whether it is initially in a normal position or displaced.

Comparative Analysis of Temperature-Responsive Hydrogel (PF 72) for Postoperative Pain After Bimaxillary Surgery: A Retro-spective Study. Aesthetic Plast Surg 2024; 48:1271-1275. [PMID: 38326500 DOI: 10.1007/s00266-023-03846-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2023] [Accepted: 12/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
Bimaxillary surgery is a painful invasive procedure in plastic surgery. Pain control is typically achieved using intravenous analgesics. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of a novel temperature-responsive hydrogel, PF72, mixed with ropivacaine, as a local pain management solution when applied directly to the surgical site following orthognathic surgery. The study was conducted from October 2022 to July 2023 and included a cohort of 40 candidates for orthognathic surgery, encompassing LeFort I maxillary ostectomy and sagittal split ramus osteotomy. The participants were divided into an Injection group (n = 20), where PF72 was administered at the surgical site before the orthognathic surgery, and a Control group (n = 20), which relied solely on intravenous analgesics. Pain was evaluated at 3, 6, 24, 48, and 72 h after surgery using a numerical rating scale (NRS). The mean NRS scores at 24 h were 6.35 and 4 for the Control and Injection groups, respectively. The mean NRS scores at 72 h were 3.4 and 2.55 for the Control and Injection groups, respectively. Patients who received PF72 experienced less pain than those who received intravenous analgesics. These findings underscore the potential of PF72 as an effective alternative for enhancing pain management in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery.Level of Evidence III Therapeutic study.

Comparison between sex and polymorphisms on FKBP5: perception of quality of life in non-syndromic patients. A cross-sectional study. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024; 62:38-44. [PMID: 38092567 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjoms.2023.10.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to compare factors that influence perception of quality of life (QoL) in patients scheduled for orthognathic surgery. This was a cross-sectional study with 91 participants from two universities in Curitiba. The orthognathic quality of life questionnaire (OQLQ) was used to assess patients' perceptions of their QoL. Sociodemographic data were collected and facial profiles classified into classes I, II, and III. DNA was extracted from oral mucosal cells and markers rs3800373 and rs1360780 for FKBP prolyl isomerase 5 were genotyped. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, and chi-squared tests, with a significance level of 5%. There was a negative impact on general perception of QoL in females (p = 0.019) and in the domains of "oral function" (p=0.032) and "awareness of the deformity" (p=0.009). In the dominant model (CC/CT), the presence of at least one C allele for the rs1360780 marker had a negative impact on QoL in the "facial aesthetics" domain (p = 0.037). The negative impact on QoL was greater in females than in males. The perception of QoL was more negative in individuals with rs1360780 polymorphism on the FKBP5 gene and a CC/CT genotype than it was in those with a TT genotype.

Development of a novel patient-reported outcome measure for orthognathic surgery. J Dent 2023; 138:104669. [PMID: 37604398 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2023.104669] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to develop a new patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) to systematically and scientifically evaluate patients' subjective feelings after orthognathic surgery. METHODS A literature review and semi-structured interviews were conducted to construct a conceptual framework and an item pool, followed by expert and patient surveys for measure construction. We conducted a clinical investigation to test the feasibility, reliability, and content validity of this measure. RESULTS The conceptual framework included four domains: psychological health, physiological health, social function, and satisfaction, and 33 items were included in the survey. Following the expert analysis, 31 items remained in the draft. The clinical investigation showed a 100% recovery and completion rate and good reliability, with Cronman-Brown formula coefficients of 0.893 and 0.944, respectively. CONCLUSIONS A new outcome measure to evaluate patients' subjective feelings after orthognathic surgery was successfully developed, and the clinical investigation demonstrated that the PROM had satisfactory feasibility, reliability, and validity. Further studies are possible based on our PROM, and data on a larger scale may reveal more information on patients' subjective feelings about orthognathic surgery. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The novel PROM provides a systematic and scientific way to evaluate the patient's subjective feelings to help surgeons obtain complete patient-reported information after orthognathic surgery. Additionally, standardised multicentre research on patients' subjective feelings using our PROM is possible and could improve the effectiveness of the evaluation and help maintain treatment quality.

Condylar Positional Changes in Skeletal Class II and Class III Malocclusions after Bimaxillary Orthognathic Surgery. J Pers Med 2023; 13:1544. [PMID: 38003858 PMCID: PMC10672009 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13111544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Orthognathic surgery is indicated to modify the position of the maxillomandibular structure; changes in the mandibular position after osteotomy can be related to changes in the position of the mandibular condyle in the articular fossa. The aim of this study was to determine changes produced in the mandibular condyle 6 months after orthognathic surgery. A cross-sectional study was conducted that included subjects who had undergone bimaxillary orthognathic surgery to treat dentofacial deformity of Angle class II (group CII) or Angle class III (group CIII). Standardized images were taken using cone-beam computed tomography 21 days before surgery and 6 months after surgery; measurement scales were used to identify the condylar position and its relations with the anterior, superior, and posterior joint spaces. The results were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk and Student's t-tests, while considering a value of p < 0.05 as indicating a significant difference. Fifty-two joints from 26 patients, with an average age of 27.9 years (±10.81), were analyzed. All subjects in both group CII and group CIII showed a significant change in the anterior, superior, and posterior joint spaces. However, postoperative changes in the position of the condyle in the articular fossa were not significant in the anteroposterior analysis. We conclude that orthognathic surgery causes changes in the sagittal position of the mandibular condyle in subjects with mandibular retrognathism and prognathism.

Assessment of temporomandibular disorders and their relationship with life quality and salivary biomarkers in patients with dentofacial deformities: A clinical observational study. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0288914. [PMID: 37471347 PMCID: PMC10358945 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0288914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023] Open
Abstract
A close relationship between dentofacial deformities (DFD) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) has been suggested, which might impact the quality of life (QoL) and psychological aspects. We evaluated the presence of TMD in DFD patients, correlating these findings with QoL and salivary levels of biochemical markers of pain and psychological disorders. The study enrolled 51 patients, which were distributed into three groups: (i) orthodontic, (ii) TMD, and (iii) DFD. TMD diagnosis was conducted according to Axis I and II of the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD). QoL was evaluated by the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). The salivary levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were determined by ELISA, while glutamate and serotonin amounts were evaluated by mass spectroscopy. DFD individuals had a positive diagnosis for TMD, as indicated by the Axis I (DC/TMD). They exhibited poorer outcomes regarding pain, functional, and psychological dimensions, according to the Axis II DC-TMD. The QoL evaluation demonstrated poorer outcomes for DFD individuals, accompanied by greater IL-1β salivary contents. Notably, glutamate levels had a positive correlation with behavioral parameters in Axis II DC-TMD, with a mild relevance for serotonin. DFD patients display chronic myofascial pain featuring TMD, with altered psychological symptoms and poor QoL, encompassing changes in pain mediators. Data bring new evidence about the relevance of TMD in DFD patients, which likely impacts the QoL and the salivary levels of biochemical markers of functional, painful, and psychological disorders.

Prevalence of signs and symptoms related to temporomandibular disorders and orofacial pain in patients indicated for orthognathic surgery: a meta-analysis. Clin Oral Investig 2023:10.1007/s00784-023-05110-2. [PMID: 37329463 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-023-05110-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of signs and symptoms related to temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and orofacial pain in patients with indication for orthognathic surgery. METHODS The search was carried out in seven electronic databases and gray literature. Studies that evaluated the frequency of signs and symptoms related to TMD and orofacial pain were included. The risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Critical Appraisal tool. A meta-analysis of proportions with a random effect model was performed and the GRADE tool judged the certainty of evidence. RESULTS After searching the databases, 1859 references were retrieved, 18 of which were selected for synthesis. The prevalence of individuals with at least one TMD symptom was 51% [CI95% = 44-58%], and 44% of the subjects had temporomandibular joint click/crepitus [CI95% = 37-52%]. Additionally, 28% exhibited symptoms related to muscle disorders [CI95% = 22-35%], 34% had disc displacement with or without reduction [CI95% = 25-44%], and 24% had inflammatory joint disorders [CI95% = 13-36%]. The prevalence of headache was 26% [CI95% = 8-51%]. The certainty of evidence was considered very low. CONCLUSION Approximately 1 in 2 patients with dentofacial deformity presents some sign and symptom related to TMD. Myofascial pain and headache may be present in approximately a quarter of patients with dentofacial deformity. CLINICAL RELEVANCE A multidisciplinary treatment is necessary for these patients, involving a professional with expertise in the management of TMD.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Orthognathic patients with skeletal class II malocclusion frequently suffer from myofascial pain (MP). PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and associated factors of MP in these patients. METHODS This cross-sectional study was performed in adult patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion requiring orthognathic surgery. They were divided according to the presence or absence of MP. The predictor variables were craniofacial morphology, sex, temporomandibular disorders, chronic pain, depression, and polymorphisms of dopamine receptors DRD2 (rs6275 and rs6276) and ANKK1 (rs1800497) genes. Data were submitted to statistical analyses using the linear regression model and Poisson regression with a significance level of 0.05. RESULTS Sixty-five individuals were selected, of which 50 (76.92%) were females. A total of 21 (32.3%) patients had MP. Individuals with MP showed a decrease in the mandible gonial angle (p = 0.042) and an increased risk of having temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement (p = 0.003), TMJ pain (p = 0.030), chronic pain (p = 0.001), and severe depression (p = 0.015). Additionally, individuals carrying AA and AG genotypes in rs6275, and CC genotype in rs6276, were more likely to have MP (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION In this study, 32.3% of skeletal class II orthognathic patients had MP, which was associated with a decreased gonial angle, TMJ disc displacement, TMJ pain, chronic pain, depression, and polymorphisms in the DRD2 gene.

Genetic polymorphisms are involved in oral health-related quality of life in skeletal class III patients submitted to orthognathic surgery. Clin Oral Investig 2023; 27:1409-1421. [PMID: 36826515 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-023-04925-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate whether sex and genetic polymorphisms impact the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) preoperatively and the difference between preoperative and postoperative OHRQoL in skeletal Class III patients submitted to orthognathic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This longitudinal study consisted of ninety-nine patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion who required orthognathic surgery. The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) is a questionnaire used to assess the OHRQoL with a 5-point Likert-type scale, covering seven domains related to physical and psychosocial factors. The questionnaire was applied in the preoperative and postoperative periods, and the difference scores were calculated to assess the OHRQoL after orthognathic surgery. The DNA was extracted from oral mucosa cells to evaluate genetic polymorphisms in ANKK1, DRD2, ESR1, and ESR2 through real-time PCR. RESULTS There was an improvement in all OHRQoL domains following orthognathic surgery (p < 0.05). In the preoperative evaluation, women presented worse OHRQoL (p < 0.05) than men. There was no statistical difference between sex and the OHRQoL after surgery (p > 0.05). When evaluating the polymorphisms and preoperative OHIP-14 scores, CT genotype patients for rs1800497 (ANKK1) had a worse perception of the physical pain domain than CC genotype (p = 0.026), and CC genotype patients for rs1256049 (ESR2) had a worse perception of the functional limitation domain than CT genotype (p = 0.002). In the analysis between polymorphisms and postoperative and preoperative difference scores, CT genotype patients for rs1256049 (ESR2) had a greater improvement in the perception of the physical pain domain than the CC genotype (p = 0.031). In rs6275 and rs6276 (DRD2), patients with the CC genotype worsened the perception of the functional limitation domain than the TT genotype (p = 0.045), and AA genotype patients worsened the perception of the functional limitation domain than GG genotype (p = 0.048) after surgery, respectively. In addition, patients with the CT genotype for rs1800497 (ANKK1) had a greater improvement of OHRQoL perception in the total scale than the TT genotype (p = 0.018), and CT genotype patients had a greater improvement in the perception of function limitation domain than TT genotype (p = 0.017). CONCLUSION Women have a worse perception of OHRQoL in the preoperative period of orthognathic surgery. Furthermore, polymorphisms in the ANKK1, DRD2, and ESR2 genes could be involved with OHRQoL in the preoperative period and following orthognathic surgery. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The knowledge of the genetic background concerning OHRQoL in skeletal class III patients would aid in clinical practice to screen for associated genetic factors and prevent OHRQoL deterioration, especially after orthognathic surgery, considering that patients' genetic profiles would soon be available.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the associations between oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and patient-associated factors and polymorphisms in the estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) and 2 (ESR2) genes in patients with dentofacial deformities (DFD). This cross-sectional study included 234 adult individuals. Data such as age, sex, and the type of facial profile (I, II, or III), were collected, and the short-form oral health impact profile 14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire was used to assess their OHRQoL. DNA was collected from oral mucosa cells, and the polymorphisms in ESR1 (rs2234693 and rs9340799) and ESR2 (rs1256049 and rs4986938) were evaluated using real-time polymerase chain reaction. The data were subjected to statistical analysis at a significance level of 5%. Individuals over 28 years of age exhibited worse OHRQoL (p = 0.003) than individuals aged less than or equal to 28 years. Women had worse OHRQoL than men (p < 0.001). Profile II individuals had worse OHRQoL in the social disability domain than profile III individuals (p = 0.030). Genetic analysis showed that rs9340799 was associated with OHRQoL in the functional limitation domain, and GG individuals exhibited worse OHRQoL than individuals carrying the AA/AG genotypes (p < 0.030). In the social handicap domain, individuals with GG genotype in rs9340799 exhibited worse OHRQoL than AG individuals (p < 0.043). Collectively, our results reveal that factors including age, sex, and type of facial profile, are associated with OHRQoL in patients with DFD. In addition, individuals with the GG genotype in rs9340799 (ESR1) may experience a negative impact on OHRQoL in the functional limitation and social handicap domains.

Oral Health-Related Quality of Life Changes in Patients with Dentofacial Deformities Class II and III after Orthognathic Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19041940. [PMID: 35206128 PMCID: PMC8872566 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19041940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2021] [Revised: 02/01/2022] [Accepted: 02/05/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
Our aim was to assess the impact of combined orthodontic–surgical treatment on patients’ oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) according to type of dentofacial deformities, by synthesizing the available evidence. Methods: Search was conducted in the PubMed, Embase/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane databases. The eligibility criteria were studies that measured OHRQoL before–after orthognathic surgery, with results disaggregated by Class II and III. Two researchers independently performed the selection process, data extraction, and methodological quality assessment. Meta-analysis of the standard mean differences (SMD) was performed using random effect models. Results: The search identified 1047 references. Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria, and four were included in the meta-analysis. The SMD of OHRQL global score showed large improvement 4–7 months after surgery in Class II and III patients (2.09, 95% CI 0.68 to 3.49 and 1.96, 95% CI 1.22 to 2.70, respectively). The sensitivity analyses, excluding studies with weak methodological quality, showed that Class III patients’ improvement in functional limitation was significantly higher than in Class II patients (SMD 0.57, 95% CI 0.12–1.02). Conclusions: There is not enough evidence to support differences between Class II and III patients in the OHRQoL impact after orthognathic surgery, but findings suggest lower improvement of some domains in Class II patients.

Intravenous ibuprofen versus diclofenac plus orphenadrine in orthognathic surgery: a prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical study. Clin Oral Investig 2022; 26:4117-4125. [PMID: 35103836 PMCID: PMC9072507 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-022-04381-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2021] [Accepted: 01/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Objectives The aim of this prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of ibuprofen versus diclofenac plus orphenadrine on postoperative pain in orthognathic surgery. Material and methods Patients who underwent orthognathic surgery were randomized into two groups to receive intravenously either 600 mg of ibuprofen (I-group) or 75 mg diclofenac plus 30 mg orphenadrine (D-group), both of which were given twice daily. Additionally, both groups were given metamizole 500 mg. Rescue pain medication consisted of acetaminophen 1000 mg and piritramide 7.5 mg as needed. To assess the pain intensity, the primary end point was the numeric rating scale (NRS) recorded over the course of the hospital stay three times daily for 3 days. Results One hundred nine patients were enrolled (age range, 18 to 61 years) between May 2019 and November 2020. Forty-eight bilateral sagittal split osteotomies (BSSO) and 51 bimaxillary osteotomies (BIMAX) were performed. Surgical subgroup analysis found a significant higher mean NRS (2.73 vs.1.23) in the BIMAX D-group vs. I-group (p = 0.015) on the third postoperative day. Additionally, as the patient’s body mass index (BMI) increased, the mean NRS (r = 0.517, p = 0.001) also increased. No differences were found between age, gender, length of hospital stay, weight, operating times, number of patients with complete pain relief, acetaminophen or piritramide intake, and NRS values. No adverse events were observed. Conclusion The results of this study demonstrate that ibuprofen administration and lower BMI were associated with less pain for patients who underwent bimaxillary osteotomy on the third postoperative day. Therefore, surgeons may prefer ibuprofen for more effective pain relief after orthognathic surgery. Clinical relevance Ibuprofen differs from diclofenac plus orphenadrine in class and is a powerful analgetic after orthognathic surgery.
