Clin Oral Investig 2024; 28:182. [PMID: 38424318 PMCID: PMC10904418 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-024-05584-8] [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: 11/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study aims to assess the impact of bilateral and high oblique sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO/HSSO), as well as displacement distances and directions on the expected and achievable bone contact area (BCA) and changes in the intercondylar distance (ICD). The primary question addressed is whether mandibular splitting through BSSO results in a greater BCA and/or ICD when compared to splitting through HSSO. MATERIALS AND METHODS Totally 80 mandibular displacements were performed on 20 fresh cadavers, for each subject, four splints were produces to facilitate mandibular advancement as well as setbacks of 4 and 8 mm. Pre- and postoperative CBCT scans were performed to plan the surgical procedures and to analyze the expected and achieved BCA and ICD. RESULTS Regarding the maximum mandibular displacement, the expected BCA for HSSO/BSSO were 352.58 ± 96.55mm2 and 1164.00 ± 295.50mm2, respectively, after advancement and 349.11 ± 98.42mm2 and 1344.70 ± 287.23mm2, respectively, after setback. The achieved BCA for HSSO/BSSO were 229.37 ± 75.90mm2 and 391.38 ± 189.01mm2, respectively, after advancement and 278.03 ± 97.65mm2 and 413.52 ± 169.52 mm2, respectively after setback. The expected ICD for HSSO/BSSO were 4.51 ± 0.73 mm and 3.25 ± 1.17 mm after advancement and - 5.76 ± 1.07 mm and - 4.28 ± 1.58 mm after setback. The achieved ICD for HSSO/BSSO were 2.07 ± 2.9 mm and 1.7 ± 0.60 mm after advancement and - 2.57 ± 2.78 mm and - 1.28 ± 0.84 mm after setback. Significant differences between the BCA after HSSO and BSSO were at each displacement (p < 0.001), except for the achieved BCA after 8-mm setback and advancement (p ≥ 0.266). No significant differences were observed regarding ICD, except for the expected ICD after 8-mm setback and advancement (p ≤ 0.037). CONCLUSIONS Compared to the virtual planning, the predictability regarding BCA and ICD was limited. ICD showed smaller clinical changes, BCA decreased significantly in the BSSO group. CLINICAL RELEVANCE BCA and ICD might have been less important in choosing the suitable split technique. in orthognathic surgery.

JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2023; 124:101381. [PMID: 36642249 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2023.101381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 01/08/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Reconstruction plates, prebent on 3D printed models, are a cheap, quick, and safe solution to improve mandibular reconstruction procedures. The European Medical Device Regulation has changed recently and severely affects 3D printing in hospitals. Therefore, its legitimation must be discussed. This retrospective observational Case-Control Study aimed to evaluate the impact of prebent reconstruction plates on the condylar position in the temporomandibular joint after continuity resection of the mandible in oncological cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included patients who underwent segmental mandibular resection without exarticulation of the condyle or history of prior surgery. The patients were divided into groups with prebent plates on a stereolithographic model and intraoperatively bent reconstruction plates. The segmental defects were categorized using the Jewer Classification. Computed Tomography (CT) scans before and after surgery were analyzed using a standardized method to measure the metric movement of the condyles, as well as their angulation to reference planes to quantify positional changes (primary outcome measures). The influence of the defect location, according to the Jewer classification, was evaluated as a secondary outcome measure. RESULTS 73 patients, including 33 with preformed reconstruction plates, were included. We could show significantly fewer rotational deviations in cases of prefabricated osteosynthesis in the coronal plane (p<0,001) and in the sagittal plane (p<0,027). DISCUSSION Using preformed reconstruction plates on 3D printed models improves the correct anatomical position of the condyle after mandibular resection. Especially Jewer-class-L defects seem to benefit from individualized reconstruction plates.

Abstract
The mandibular ramus bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) is the common approach in orthognathic surgery; however, this design has some limitations to achieve a good definition in the angle of the jaw in Class II patients with a decreased posterior facial height. This paper aims to show a novel modification and its technic description of the conventional BSSO which increases the vertical length of mandibular ramus and angle, in two patients with a similar diagnosis with a one-year follow-up. In conclusion, modified sagittal split osteotomy is the result of the conjunction of two techniques (BSSO and chin wing osteotomy), that is useful in patients who benefit from improvement in the projection of the mandible angle and increase in posterior facial height. Future studies involving long-term follow-up are needed to evaluate the permanence of these results.

Abstract
With modern-day technical advances, high sagittal oblique osteotomy (HSOO) of the mandible was recently described as an alternative to bilateral sagittal split osteotomy for the correction of mandibular skeletal deformities. However, neither in vitro nor numerical biomechanical assessments have evaluated the performance of fixation methods in HSOO. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical characteristics and stress distribution in bone and osteosynthesis fixations when using different designs and placing configurations, in order to determine a favourable plating method. We established two finite element models of HSOO with advancement (T1) and set-back (T2) movements of the mandible. Six different configurations of fixation of the ramus, progressively loaded by a constant force, were assessed for each model. The von Mises stress distribution in fixations and in bone, and bony segment displacement, were analysed. The lowest mechanical stresses and minimal gradient of displacement between the proximal and distal bony segments were detected in the combined one-third anterior- and posterior-positioned double mini-plate T1 and T2 models. This suggests that the appropriate method to correct mandibular deformities in HSOO surgery is with use of double mini-plates positioned in the anterior one-third and posterior one-third between the bony segments of the ramus.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate volumetric changes of the posterior airway space (PAS) following bimaxillary surgery using a high oblique sagittal split osteotomy (HSSO) of the mandibular ramus. The cone beam CTs of Class II and Class III patients taken before (T0) and 6-12 months after surgery (T1) were analyzed using 3D software (Mimics® Innovation Suite 18.0). The PAS was divided into three segments (superior, middle, inferior) by three planes parallel to the Frankfurt horizontal plane intersecting at the posterior nasal spine, the velum palatinum and the epiglottis. Total (TPAS) and partial volumes (SPAS = superior, MPAS = middle, IPAS = inferior) were calculated. For the 25 Class II patients, a highly significant increase (p<0.001) of the total, middle and inferior airway space (TPAS: +33.6%, MPAS: +43.1%, IPAS: +55.9%) was found, while the increase of the upper airway space was statistically not significant (+5.4%, p = 0.074). For the 28 Class III patients, the total, middle and inferior airway space increased statistically insignificantly (TPAS: +4.6%, p = 0.265, MPAS: +2.7%, p = 0.387, IPAS: +2.8%, p = 0.495), while the increase of the upper airway space was statistically significant (+9.7%, p = 0.010). Bimaxillary orthognathic surgery using the HSSO technique led to a significant increase of PAS for Class II patients and could conserve the PAS for Class III patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The high-oblique sagittal osteotomy (HOSO) is an alternative to a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). Due to its novelty, there are no long-term studies which have focused on describing the incidence and type of complications encountered in the post-operative follow-up. The aim of this retrospective study is to analyze patients operated on with this surgical technique and the post-operative complications encountered. PATIENT AND METHODS The electronic medical records of all patients treated with orthognathic surgery at the Department of Oral, Maxillofacial and Facial Plastic Surgery, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany, between the years 2009 and 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS A total of 116 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The cases operated on with the standard osteosynthesis (X, Y, and straight) showed a complication rate of 36.37% (n = 4/11). The cases operated on with the HOSO-dedicated plates (HOSO-DP) showed, in total, a complication rate of 6.67% (n = 7/105). The most common post-operative complication resulting from both fixation methods was a reduction in mouth opening and TMJ pain for 4.3%. During the first years of performing the surgery (2009-211), a variety of standard plates had material failure causing non-union or pseudarthrosis. No cases of material failure were observed in the cases operated on with the HOSO-DP. The statistical results showed a highly significant dependence of a reduction in OP-time over the years, when the HOSO was performed without additional procedures (R2 > 0.83, P < 0.0015). CONCLUSION The rate of complications in the HOSO were shown to be comparable to the rate of complications from the BSSO reported in the literature. Moreover, the use of the ramus dedicated plate appears to provide enough stability to the bone segments, making the surgery safer. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The HOSO needs to be considered by surgeons as an alternative to BSSO. Once the use of the HOSO-DP was established, the rate of complications and the operation time reduced considerably.

Abstract
Acromegaly is a medical condition where elevated growth hormone or insulin-like growth factor I levels cause several changes in the craniofacial soft and hard features. We report the correction of facial deformity and posterior open bite with Le Fort I and modified subcondylar osteotomies in a patient affected by acromegaly. Computer-aided design and manufacturing generated saw and drill guides were used to perform osteotomies and segment removal. The placement of the patient-specific implants (PSIs) was guided by predesigned drill holes ensuring the required and planned movement of the jaws and position of the PSIs. After segment removal, the PSIs fitted the predesigned drill holes with high precision and were secured without problems. The planned amount of mandibular and maxillary movement was achieved. The occlusion and osteotomies remained stable for the follow-up of 22 months. The use of PSIs combined with guided surgery can be beneficial for selected cases with asymmetry or posterior open bite enabling new approaches and yielding good functional and aesthetic outcome. The modification of conventional ramus osteotomy combined with utilization of ramus segment removal and the use of PSI for reposition is an interesting and promising technique for rare conditions with ramus height asymmetry.

Changes in the temporomandibular joint position depending on the sagittal osteotomy technique and extent of mandibular movement. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2020; 50:356-366.

Abstract
The bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) and high oblique sagittal split osteotomy (HSSO) are common techniques for mandibular movement in orthognathic surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of both techniques, as well as movement distances and directions, on the position of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). A total of 80 mandibular movements were performed on 20 fresh human cadaver heads, four on each head. Pre- and postoperative cone beam computed tomography was used to plan the surgical procedure and analyse the TMJ. Reference measurements included the anterior, superior, and posterior joint spaces, intercondylar distances and angles in the axial and coronal planes, and the sagittal, coronal, and axial angulations of the proximal segment. Only minor differences were found between the BSSO and HSSO techniques, particularly in terms of the intercondylar angle in the axial plane (P < 0.03) and the condylar angle of the proximal segment in the sagittal plane (P < 0.011). Observed changes in the TMJ were mostly opposite when moving the mandible forwards and backwards and increased with increasing movement distance. BSSO and HSSO result in similar changes in TMJ position. The extent of the movement distance influences the position of the condyle more than the osteotomy technique.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The short osteotomy was first reported by Blair in 1907 and was later described and characterized by Kater and Paulus in 2013. The technique involves an oblique supra-lingular osteotomy from internal to external, from top to bottom and from back to front. It is designed to divide the ramus into two segments, the joint and the mandibular body, and to ensure minimal valve equivalents. Both osseous valves were maintained in contact by obtaining surface contact proportional to the angle of the osteotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We present a series of 82 patients to demonstrate the benefits of this technique in terms of stability and conservation of sensitivity. RESULTS 82 patients were included, of which 74 (90%) described normal sensitivity and 8 (10%) reported modified sensitivity two years post-surgery. DISCUSSION On account of the nature and height of the short osteotomy cut, it is possible to avoid direct manipulation of the lower alveolar nerve. The postoperative sensitivity level is identical to the pre-operative level in more than 90% of cases. In good indications, this technique could be used preferentially to optimize postoperative nerve recovery. We also discuss the current limitations of this orthognathic surgery procedure, as well as the perspectives linked to the development of 3D printing and preoperative planning.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mandibular osteotomies aim to displace the dental arch to the necessary position, ideally without limitation, while preserving inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) function. Supraforaminal osteotomies offer nerve safety but limit the extent of advancement, whereas Epker and Obwegeser-Dal Pont osteotomies enable unchallenged mandibular advancement but are associated with an inferior border notch. Here, we describe a new technique to avoid such disadvantages. TECHNICAL NOTE The beginning of the procedure was similar to Epker's technique, with sectioning of the lingual cortex up to the level of the lingula. Sectioning of the buccal cortex was stopped 3 to 4 mm above the inferior border and then performed horizontally up to the gonial angle in total thickness. The inferior border periosteum and muscles attachments were conserved and hence, appropriately vascularized. DISCUSSION This technique offers 4 advantages: absence of the inferior border notch, lower risk of damage to the IAN than with Epker's technique, sufficiently large bony surface to obtain bone healing as in Epker's technique, and no limitation to setback movement in contrast to Obwegeser-Dal Pont's or the supraforaminal osteotomy techniques.

Evaluation of the lingual fracture patterns after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy according to Hunsuck/Epker modified by an additional inferior border osteotomy using a burr or ultrasonic device. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2018; 48:620-628.

Abstract
This study was conducted to compare fracture patterns and operation times after sagittal split osteotomy (SSO) by Hunsuck/Epker approach, performed using a burr or ultrasonic device, with and without osteotomy modification. A total of 80 SSOs were performed in fresh human cadavers using a burr or ultrasonic device to investigate the influence of surgical instruments as well as an additional bone cut on the inferior border of the mandible in terms of lingual fracture patterns. The times required for osteotomy and sagittal split were measured, and postoperative cone beam computed tomography images of all splits were analyzed. Without an additional inferior osteotomy, preferred splits according to Hunsuck/Epker were achieved in 35% of cases (7/20) with the burr and 45% (9/20) with the ultrasonic instrument. The inferior modification resulted in a greater number of unwanted fracture patterns in both groups. There was no relationship between the split technique and the fracture pattern (P=0.7854). Statistically significant differences in osteotomy time were observed between burr osteotomy and modified burr osteotomy (P=0.006), as well as modified ultrasonic osteotomy (P<0.001), but not between burr and ultrasonic surgery both without the inferior cut (P=0.36). The bone cut on the inferior border did not improve split control, but rather increased the risk of unwanted fractures and extended the operation time.

[PMID: 30123397 PMCID: PMC6079318 DOI: 10.1155/2018/4235025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2018] [Revised: 06/06/2018] [Accepted: 07/02/2018] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the frequency of orofacial (nonodontogenic, neuropathic, or atypical) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and/or masticatory muscle pain in orthognathic patients in a tertiary institution. A total of 286 consecutive patients undergoing sagittal split osteotomy from 2014 to 2016 were included. Thirty-nine (13.6%) patients presented with TMJ pain and 10 (3.5%) with orofacial nonodontogenic pain before orthognathic surgery; 79.6% (39/49) of these patients had no pain 1 year after surgery. Twenty-nine patients (12.2%) with no preoperative orofacial pain and 22 (9.3%) without preoperative TMJ pain presented with pain 1 year after surgery. Fifty-one (17.8%) of the 286 patients treated for orthognathic cases at our center over the 3-year period presented with pain 1 year after surgery. Most patients were managed conservatively with nonsurgical therapeutic modalities including counseling, physical therapy, warmth application, and bilateral chewing and splint therapy. In patients with TMJ pain refractory to conservative treatment, arthroscopic surgery was advised and successful in all patients for both pain reduction and improvement of the maximal interincisal opening. TMJ symptoms do develop after orthognathic surgery in patients with and without a previous history of TMJ complaints. Most patients can be managed with nonsurgical therapeutic modalities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Reproduction of the exact preoperative proximal-mandible position after osteotomy in orthognathic surgery is difficult to achieve. This clinical pilot study evaluated an electromagnetic (EM) navigation system for condylar positioning after high-oblique sagittal split osteotomy (HSSO). STUDY DESIGN After HSSO as part of 2-jaw surgery, the position of 10 condyles was intraoperatively guided by an EM navigation system. As controls, 10 proximal segments were positioned by standard manual replacement. Accuracy was measured by pre- and postoperative cone beam computed tomography imaging. RESULTS Overall, EM condyle repositioning was equally accurate compared with manual repositioning (P > .05). Subdivided into 3 axes, significant differences could be identified (P < .05). Nevertheless, no significantly and clinically relevant dislocations of the proximal segment of either the EM or the manual repositioning method could be shown (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS This pilot study introduces a guided method for proximal segment positioning after HSSO by applying the intraoperative EM system. The data demonstrate the high accuracy of EM navigation, although manual replacement of the condyles could not be surpassed. However, EM navigation can avoid clinically hidden, severe malpositioning of the condyles.

Abstract
Orthognathic surgery has always been a classical focus of maxillofacial surgery. Since more than 100 years, various surgical techniques for mandibular repositioning have been developed and clinically tested. Since the establishment of plate and screw osteosynthesis, orthognathic surgery became more stable and safe. Nowadays, different surgical methods for mobilising the mandible are existing. This international multicenter analysis (n = 51 hospitals) is providing first evidence based data for the current use of different surgical methods. The dominating techniques were Obwegeser/dal Pont (61%) followed by Hunsuck/Epker (37%) and Perthes/Schlössmann (29%). The main osteosynthesis materials were plates (82%), bicortical screws (23.5%), or a combination of both (5.9%). 47% of all centers reported to use several surgical methods at the same time, depending on the anatomical problem and the surgeon's preference. This shows that different surgical methods seem to work as comparable, safe, and reliable procedures in everydays clinical practise. On this basis, further prospective studies could evaluate possible advantages for our patients.

J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2015; 73:1983-93. [PMID: 25869983 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2015.02.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2015] [Revised: 01/31/2015] [Accepted: 02/02/2015] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The traditional osteotomy design in the bilateral sagittal split osteotomy includes a horizontal lingual bone cut, a connecting sagittal bone cut, and a vertical buccal bone cut perpendicular to the inferior mandibular cortex. The buccal bone cut extends as an inferior border cut into the lingual cortex. This study investigated a modified osteotomy design including an angled oblique buccal bone cut that extended as a posteriorly aimed inferior border cut near the masseteric tuberosity. MATERIALS AND METHODS The authors implemented a randomized controlled study. The study sample was comprised of 28 cadaveric dentulous mandibles. The primary outcome variable was the pattern of lingual fracture induced using the conventional (n = 14) and modified (n = 14) osteotomy designs. The secondary outcome variables included the incidence of bad splits and the status of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). Descriptive and bivariate statistics were computed. RESULTS The angled osteotomy design resulted in a significantly larger number of the lingual fractures originating from the inferior border cut (odds ratio [OR] = 1.54; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.27-1.86; P < .01), with a significantly more posterior relation of the fracture line to the mandibular canal (OR = 2.11; 95% CI, 1.22-3.63; P < .01) and foramen (OR = 1.99; 95% CI, 1.28-3.08; P < .01). No bad splits occurred with the angled design, whereas 3 bad splits occurred with the conventional design, although this difference was not statistically significant (OR = 1.11; 95% CI, 0.99-1.25; P = .07). IAN status was comparable between designs, although the nerve more frequently required manipulation from the proximal mandibular segment when the conventional design was used (OR = 1.21; 95% CI, 0.99-1.47; P = .06). CONCLUSION The results suggest that the angled osteotomy design promotes a more posterior lingual fracture originating from the inferior border cut and a trend was apparent that this also might decrease the incidence of bad splits and IAN entrapment. These results must be carefully extrapolated to the clinical setting, with future studies clarifying these findings.

Is the lingual fracture line influenced by the mandibular canal or the mylohyoid groove during a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy? A human cadaveric study. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2013; 72:973-9.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although the bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) is a routinely performed procedure, exact control of the lingual fracture line remains problematic. The purpose of this study was to determine the various lingual splitting patterns in cadaveric human mandibles after a BSSO and the possible influence of the mandibular canal and mylohyoid groove on the lingual fracture line. MATERIALS AND METHODS The investigators designed and implemented a case series to compare different lingual fracture lines. A standardized SSO was performed on 40 cadaveric hemimandibles using elevators and splitting forceps. The primary outcome variable during this study was the lingual fracture pattern possibly influenced by independent variables: the mandibular canal, the mylohyoid groove, and dental status. Descriptive and analytic statistics were computed for each study variable. RESULTS Most lingual fractures (72.5%) ended in the mandibular foramen. Only 25% of fractures were "true" Hunsuck fractures, and no "bad splits" occurred. In addition, 35% of lingual fractures ran more than halfway or entirely through the mandibular canal, whereas only 30% of fractures ran along the mylohyoid groove. However, when the lingual fracture ran along this groove, it had a 6-fold greater chance of ending in the mandibular foramen. CONCLUSIONS The hypothesis that the mandibular canal or mylohyoid groove would function as the path of least resistance was only partly confirmed. The use of splitters and separators did not increase the incidence of bad splits compared with the literature.
