[PMID: 38582674 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2024.03.024] [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: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate maxillary bone healing and computed tomography (CT) values after Le Fort I osteotomy with sagittal split ramus osteotomy in patients with class II and III malocclusion. Four absorbable plates and screws were used to fix the maxillary segments in all patients. For 112 sides (58 patients), the bone defect areas at the anterior and posterior sites between the maxillary segments were measured using 3-dimensional CT views reconstructed over a constant CT value at 1 week and 1 year postoperatively. Subsequently, CT values at the upper, middle, and lower sites around the osteotomy line in the medial, middle, and lateral regions were measured. The bone defect area after 1 year increased at the anterior site in class III and at both the anterior and posterior sites in class II (P < 0.05). This study suggests that the increase in bone defect area was affected by lower CT values at the middle site of the middle and lateral regions in class II, and that bony defects between fragments in the maxilla could partially remain in both classes II and III within 1 year after Le Fort I osteotomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to assess the correlation between temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc position and skeletal stability and identify the cephalometric measurements associated with relapse after bimaxillary surgery. METHODS The participants were 62 women with jaw deformities (124 joints) who underwent bimaxillary surgery. The TMJ disc position was classified into four types (anterior disc displacement (ADD), anterior, fully covered, and posterior) using magnetic resonance imaging, and cephalometric analysis was performed preoperatively and 1 week and 1 year postoperatively. The differences between pre- and 1-week postoperative values (T1) and 1-week and 1-year postoperative value (T2) were calculated for all cephalometric measurements. Moreover, the relationship between skeletal stability using cephalometric measurements, skeletal class, and TMJ disc position was analyzed. RESULTS The participants included 28 patients in class II and 34 in class III. There was a significant difference in T2 in SNB between class II mandibular advancement cases and class III mandibular setback cases (P = 0.0001). In T2, in ramus inclination, there was a significant difference between the ADD and posterior types (P = 0.0371). Stepwise regression analysis revealed that T2 was significantly correlated with T1 for all measurements. However, the TMJ classification was not applied to all measurements. CONCLUSION This study suggested that TMJ disc position, including ADD, could not affect skeletal stability, including the maxilla and distal segment after bimaxillary osteotomy, and short-term relapse could be related to the movement amount or angle change by surgery for all measurements.

The effect of tongue reduction for preventing adverse effects in patients undergoing class III orthognathic surgery: a three-dimensional comparative analysis. Clin Oral Investig 2024; 28:162.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to evaluate the potential benefits of combining tongue reduction with mandibular setback surgery in patients undergoing class III orthognathic surgery. Specifically, we investigated whether this combined approach reduced the risk of surgical relapse, condylar resorption, and airway space reduction by mitigating tongue pressure on the mandible. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study retrospectively enrolled patients who had undergone bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) with at least 5 mm of setback and met the criteria of a body mass index > 20 kg/m2 and tongue volume > 100 mm3. The study included 20 patients with 10 in the tongue reduction group (TR, n = 10) and 10 in the BSSRO only group (SO, n = 10). RESULTS The volumetric changes of the total airway space were significantly different between the TR and SO groups (p = 0.028). However, no significant differences were observed in the condylar resorption and postoperative relapse between the groups (p = 0.927 and 0.913, respectively). The difference between the resorption of the anterior and posterior segments of the condyle was also statistically insignificant (p = 0.826). Postoperative counterclockwise rotation of the proximal segment only demonstrated a significant correlation with postoperative relapse (p = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS The reduction in tongue volume demonstrated a preventive effect on the reduction of the airway space after mandibular setback, although it did not yield statistical significance concerning surgical relapse and condylar volume. The counterclockwise rotation of the proximal segment might be responsible for the forward displacement of the distal segment and postoperative relapse. However, the clinical implications of this finding should be interpreted with caution owing to the limited sample size CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Tongue reduction could potentially serve as a preventive measure in preserving the airway space and might be beneficial in mitigating the risk of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with class III deformity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine the relationship between condylar surface computed tomography (CT) values in the coronal plane and condylar morphology in patients with jaw deformities classes II and III before and after orthognathic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS The maximum CT values (pixel values) at three points on the condylar surface, height, and joint space were measured on the coronal plane. The condylar width, thickness, and angle were measured on the horizontal plane preoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively. RESULTS A total of 112 temporomandibular joints of 56 female patients were divided into two groups according to skeletal class (56 joints each in class II and class III). The maximum CT values of class II were higher than those of class III at the medial, central, and lateral sites on the condylar surface, preoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively (P < 0.05). CT values of the condylar surface were significantly negatively correlated with the condylar heights at the center and lateral sites preoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Condylar surface CT values in the coronal plane are associated with condylar morphology, including condylar height.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the bone healing and stability of the chin with a pre-bent absorbable plate and a manually bent absorbable plate after advancement genioplasty. Patients with class II malocclusion who underwent genioplasty with bimaxillary surgery were included. After genioplasty, two absorbable bicortical screws were fixed on both sides. Then, a pre-bent absorbable plate and screws were used in the center area to fix the segment in advancement genioplasty (PB group). A manually bent absorbable plate was used for the remaining patients (MB group). Computed tomography (CT) was performed before surgery and 1 week and 1 year after surgery. Changes in the pogonion (Pog) and menton (Me) points, soft tissue points, and the ratio of bone squares under the plate were evaluated using lateral cephalometric images reconstructed with 3-dimensional CT data. 32 patients were included in the study. There were no significant differences in the cephalometric measurements in the time interval from 1 week to 1 year. However, the bone square ratio in the PB group showed a significant increase after 1 year (P = 0.0021). Within the limitations of the study it seems that the use of a pre-bent absorbable plate is effective in promoting bone healing after advancement genioplasty.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate changes in computed tomography (CT) value of ramus bone after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) in class II and class III patients using absorbable plates and screws. PATIENTS AND METHODS In the retrospective study, the participants were female patients with jaw deformities who underwent bilateral SSRO with Le Fort I osteotomy. Maximum CT values (pixel values) of lateral and medial cortexes at anterior and posterior sites of the ramus were measured preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively by using horizontal planes at the mandibular foramen level (upper level) and 10 mm under the mandibular foramen level (lower level) parallel to Frankfurt horizontal plane. RESULTS Fifty-seven patients and 114 sides (28 class II: 56 sides and 29 class III: 58 sides) were evaluated. Although CT values decreased at most sites of the ramus cortical bone after 1 year of surgery, they increased at the posterior-medial site at the upper level in class II ( P =0.0012) and the lower level in class III ( P =0.0346). CONCLUSION This study suggested that bone quality at the mandibular ramus could change after 1 year of surgery, and there could be differences between mandibular advancement and setback surgery.

Abstract
The aim of this research was to analyze the facial class, presence of malocclusion, and the mandibular plane and to relate this to the mandibular condyle position. A cross-sectional study in subjects under analysis for orthognathic surgery was done. The mandibular plane, the gonial angle, and the molar class were included to compare the coronal and sagittal position of the condyle and the joint space observed in the CBCT. The measurements were obtained by the same observer at an interval of two weeks. In addition, the Spearman test was performed to determine the correlation using a p value < 0.05 to observe any significant differences. Eighty-nine male and female subjects (18 to 58 years old, 24.6 ± 10.5) were included. In the coronal section, subjects with CIII had a greater mediolateral distance (MLD, p = 0.0001) and greater vertical distance (SID, p = 0.0001) than subjects with CII. In terms of the skeletal class and the mandibular plane, it was observed that subjects in the CII group had a greater mandibular angle (open angle) (p = 0.04) than the CII group and was related to the anterior position of the condyle. The most anterior condylar position was observed in the CII group (p = 0.03), whereas a posterior condylar position was significant in CIII subjects (p = 0.03). We can conclude that the sagittal position of the TMJ was related to the mandibular plane and the skeletal class showing a higher mandibular angle and most anterior position of the condyle in CII subjects and a lower mandibular angle and most posterior position of the condyle in CIII subjects. The implications for surgical treatment have to be considered.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether differences in the pattern of the lingual plate split in sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) affect the remodelling of the split site. Sixty-one patients with mandibular prognathism (122 sides) underwent SSRO. Computed tomography (CT) was performed at 1 week and 1 year after SSRO. Bone splits were classified according to the lingual split scale (LSS) and the lateral bone cut end (LBCE) by evaluating CT images at 1 week. The remodelling at the split sites was evaluated by superimposing the CT images obtained at 1 week and 1 year. Regarding the LSS pattern, significant differences were observed in the distance between anteroposterior ramus points (P = 0.033) and the ramus area in the axial image (P = 0.011). The LBCE pattern also showed a significant difference in the distance between anteroposterior ramus points (P = 0.043). In conclusion, the differences in the lingual plate split and ramus cut end of the SSRO influence the postoperative remodelling in the anteroposterior region of the split site.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to examine lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc before and after Le Fort I osteotomy with and without intentional pterygoid plate fracture and sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) in class II and class III patients. Le Fort I osteotomy and SSRO were performed in class II and class III patients. LPM measurements using oblique sagittal computed tomography (CT) images and TMJ disc position using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were examined. Statistical comparisons were performed for the LPM and TMJ between class II and class III patients and between those with and without intentional pterygoid plate fracture in Le Fort I osteotomy. The subjects comprised 60 female patients (120 sides), with 30 diagnosed as class II and 30 as class III. Preoperatively, the width of the condylar attachment, width at eminence, length of the LPM, angle of the LPM, and square of the LPM were significantly smaller in the class II group than in the class III group (p < 0.05). After 1 year, the width of the condylar attachment, width at eminence, and angle of the LPM remained significantly smaller in the class II group than in the class III group (p < 0.0001). TMJ disc position was significantly related to the width of the condylar attachment of the LPM, both pre- and postoperatively (p < 0.0001). However, postoperative disc position did not change in all patients. Next, the class II patients (60 sides) were divided into two groups who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy with or without intentional pterygoid plate fracture. Changes in all measurements of the LPM showed no significant differences between these two groups. Our study suggested that TMJ disc position classification could be associated with the width of condylar attachment of the LPM before and after surgery, while the surgical procedure, including Le Fort I osteotomy with intentional pterygoid plate fracture, might not affect postoperative LMP or disc position in class II patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was performed to evaluate changes in nasal airflow, nasal airway resistance, nasal cross-sectional area, pharyngeal horizontal area, nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal volume following Le Fort I osteotomy (L1) impaction with sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) in classes II and III. MATERIALS AND METHODS The subjects consisted of 35 patients (6 males and 29 females, 70 sides) 17 of which were diagnosed as class II and 18 as class III who underwent L1 and SSRO. Nasal airflow and resistance were measured using the rhinomanometry system (GM NR-6 EXECUTIVE) before and at 1 and 6 months after surgery. Nasal, cross-sectional area, and volume were measured using a 3-dimensional computed tomography respectively, before and 1-year after surgery. RESULTS Although a significant decrease was found in nasal volume after surgery (P = 0.0042), there was no difference between before and after surgery in the nasal airway resistance in class II.A significant decrease in nasal volume was found after surgery (P = 0.0005) and there were no postoperative changes in both nasal airflow and resistance in class III. CONCLUSION The study suggested that L1 impaction with SSRO did not worsen nasal function such as nasal airflow and nasal airway resistance, although nasal volume significantly decreased in both groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess mandibular morphologic changes to the condyle, ramus, mandibular body, and inferior mandibular border defect after sagittal split ramus osteotomy in class II and III patients. STUDY DESIGN The relationships among the condyle, ramus, and mandibular body measured by computed tomography preoperatively and postoperatively were assessed and factors related to the reduction of the condylar square and mandibular inferior border defect were examined. RESULTS Patients included 72 female patients with jaw deformity (36 skeletal class II cases, 36 skeletal class III cases). Postoperative reduction of the condylar square was significantly correlated with preoperative condylar height in patients with class II (P = .0297) vs preoperative condylar height and preoperative mandibular height in patients with class III (P < .0001). A mandibular inferior border defect was found in 18 of 72 class II sides (25.0%) and was significantly related to the position of the osteotomy line and attachment side of the inferior border cortex (P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS This study's findings suggest that the postoperative reduction of the condyle could be associated with preoperative condylar height. However, the mandibular inferior border defect in class II advancement surgery could be independently associated with technical factors in sagittal split ramus osteotomy.

Evaluation of condylar surface CT values related to condylar height reduction after orthognathic surgery. J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2021; 49:639-648.

Abstract
This study was performed to evaluate the relationship between condylar height reduction and changes in condylar surface computed tomography (CT) values in jaw deformity patients following orthognathic surgery. Mandibular advancement by sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) with Le Fort I osteotomy was performed in class II patients, and mandibular setback by SSRO with Le Fort I osteotomy was performed in class III patients. The maximum CT values (pixel values) at five points on the condylar surface and the condylar height, ramus height, condylar square, ramus angle, and gonial angle in the sagittal plane were measured preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. Disc position was classified as anterior disc displacement (ADD) or other types by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Ninety-two condyles of 46 female patients were prepared for this study. Their temporomandibular joints (TMJs) were divided into two groups based on class (46 joints in class II and 46 joints in class III) and two groups based on the findings (25 joints with ADD and 67 joints with other findings). ADD with and without reduction was observed in two joints in the class III group and in 23 joints in the class II group. The distribution of ADD incidence had not changed 1 year after surgery. Condylar height decreased 1 year after surgery in both class II patients (mandibular advancement) (p < 0.0001) and class III patients (mandibular setback) (p = 0.0306). Similarly, condylar height decreased 1 year after surgery both in patients who showed ADD (p = 0.0087) and those with other types (p = 0.0023). Significant postoperative increases at all angle sites on the condylar surface were found in the class II (p < 0.05) and ADD (p < 0.05) groups. This study showed that an enhanced condylar surface CT value might be one sign of condylar height reduction related to sequential condylar resorption, in combination with ADD.

ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020; 56:medicina56120672. [PMID: 33291272 PMCID: PMC7762172 DOI: 10.3390/medicina56120672] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2020] [Revised: 11/29/2020] [Accepted: 12/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The need to evaluate the condylar remodeling after orthognathic surgery, using three-dimensional (3D) images and volume rendering techniques in skeletal Class III patients has been emphasized. The study examined condylar positional, structural, and volumetric changes after bimaxillary or single-jaw maxillary orthognathic surgeries in skeletal Class III patients using the cone-beam computed tomography. MATERIALS AND METHODS Presurgical, postsurgical, and one-year post-surgical full field of view (FOV) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 44 patients with skeletal Class III deformities were obtained. Group 1 underwent a bimaxillary surgery (28 patients: 24 females and 4 males), with mean age at the time of surgery being 23.8 ± 6.0 years, and Group 2 underwent maxillary single-jaw surgery (16 patients: 8 females and 8 males), with mean age at the time of surgery being 23.7 ± 5.1 years. After the orthognathic surgery, the CBCT images of 88 condyles were evaluated to assess their displacement and radiological signs of bone degeneration. Three-dimensional (3D) condylar models were constructed and superimposed pre- and postoperatively to compare changes in condylar volume. RESULTS Condylar position was found to be immediately altered after surgery in the maxillary single-jaw surgery group, but at the one-year follow-up, the condyles returned to their pre-surgical position. There was no significant difference in condylar position when comparing between pre-surgery and one-year follow-up in any of the study groups. Condylar rotations in the axial and coronal planes were significant in the bimaxillary surgery group. No radiological signs of condylar bone degeneration were detected one year after the surgery. Changes in condylar volume after surgery were found to be insignificant in both study groups. CONCLUSIONS At one year after orthognathic surgery, there were no significant changes in positional, structural, or volumetric statuses of condyles.

Evaluation of the Therapeutic Effect of Bi-Maxillary Osteotomy Using the Stress Distribution on the Temporomandibular Joint When Doing Anterior Teeth Occlusion. J Biomech Eng 2020; 142:1084325.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate how sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) and Le Fort 1 osteotomy affected the stress distribution of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) during an anterior teeth bite using the three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) method. Fourteen orthognathic surgery patients were examined with mandibular prognathism, facial asymmetry, and mandibular retraction. They underwent Le Fort 1 osteotomy in conjunction with SSRO. In addition, ten asymptomatic subjects were recruited as the control group. The 3D models of the mandible, disc, and maxilla were reconstructed according to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Contact was used to simulate the interaction of the disc-condyle, disc-temporal bone, and upper-lower dentition. Muscle forces and boundary conditions corresponding to the anterior occlusions were applied on the models. The stresses on the articular disc and condyle in the pre-operative group were significantly higher than normal. The contact stress and minimum principal stress in TMJ for patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) were abnormally higher. The peak stresses of the TMJ of the patients under anterior occlusions decreased after bimaxillary osteotomy. No postoperative TMD symptoms were found. Maxillofacial deformity led to excessive stress on the TMJ. Bimaxillary osteotomy can partially improve the stress distributions of the TMJ and relieve the symptoms of TMD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine changes in lateral pterygoid muscle and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc position in classes II and III patients, before and after bi-maxillary surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS The subjects were comprised of 48 patients (96 sides), 23 of whom were diagnosed as class II and 25 as class III patients who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy and sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO). The cross-sectional measurements of the lateral pterygoid muscles were measured at two levels of horizontal plane images (condyle and mandibular notch levels) by computed tomography (CT), before and 1 year after the operation. The relationship between these measurements regarding lateral pterygoid muscle and disc position by magnetic resonance image (MRI) was also examined statistically. RESULTS Preoperatively, class II was significantly larger than class III in condylar angle at the upper level and in long diameter, square, condylar angle, and muscle angle at the lower level (P < 0.05). After 1 year, class II was significantly larger than class III in condylar angle, long diameter, and muscle angle at the upper level and in long diameter, short diameter, square, condylar angle, and muscle angle at the lower level (P < 0.05). TMJ disc position classification correlated significantly with condylar angle at the upper level and long diameter and condylar angle at the lower level (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION This study suggested that there were differences in the cross-sectional measurements of the lateral pterygoid muscles between class II and class III patients, before and after bi-maxillary surgery.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to find out the most appropriate method of measuring condylar height on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Traditional three-circle method, modified three-circle method and ramal plane (RP) method were used by 2 separate observers for the measurement of condylar height and long axis of condyle on TMJ MRI. Pearson correlation coefficient (PCCs), intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), paired t test and Bland-Altman analysis were applied for the comparison of CH and long axis of condyle between 2 observers. Thirty-two patients' images were finally included in our study. Comparing the 3 methods, it was revealed that the RP method has the highest consistency among the observers, followed by the modified three-circle method, and the traditional three-circle method has the worst consistency. The RP method is preferred for measuring the condylar height on MRI. If mandible edge cannot be observed on MRI, the modified three-circle method is recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare bone healing after Le Fort I osteotomy with sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) in class II and class III patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS The subjects consisted of 46 Japanese class II and III patients. Le Fort I osteotomy was performed in combination with SSRO. They were divided into two groups (23 class II cases and 23 class III cases). Four absorbable plates (uncalcined and unsintered hydroxyapatite and poly-l-lactic acid - uHA/PLLA) and screws were used to fix the maxillary segment in all patients, in the same manner. Postoperative computed tomography (CT) was analyzed for all patients at 1 week and 1 year postoperatively. The anterior and lateral areas between the maxillary segments were measured using two-dimensional frontal and lateral views from the three-dimensional images reconstructed over a constant CT value. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the area of bone defect healing between classes II and III at 1 year postoperatively, although there were significant differences between the two groups at 1 week postoperatively (p < 0.05). Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the areas of bone defect between 1 week and 1 year postoperatively, in both groups. CONCLUSION Using measurements based on CT value threshold within 1 year after Le Fort I osteotomy, this study suggests that the areas of bony defect in the region of the anterior and lateral walls of the maxilla do not always decrease in both classes II and III.
