Systematic mapping review of orthognathic surgery. JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2022; 123:e285-e305. [PMID: 35568120 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2022.05.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2022] [Revised: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Systematic mapping review AIM AND SCOPE: The objective of this mapping review was to identify, describe, and organize clinical research currently available from systematic reviews and primary studies regarding co-interventions and different surgical modalities used in orthognathic surgery (OS) and their outcomes. METHODS Systematic reviews (SRs), randomized controlled trials, and observational studies that evaluated perioperative OS co-interventions and surgical modalities were identified in an exhaustive search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Epistemonikos, Lilacs, Web of Science, and CENTRAL. Grey literature was also screened. RESULTS Included were 35 SRs and 253 primary studies, 103 from SRs, and another 150 identified in our search. Overall, SR quality was rated as critically low, with only two SRs rated as of high quality. 19 questions on population, interventions, comparisons, and outcomes (PICO) extracted from the SRs focused on osteosynthesis methods, surgical cutting devices, and use of antibiotics, corticosteroids, and induced hypotension. Also identified were 15 research gaps. Evidence bubble maps were created to graphically depict the available evidence. CONCLUSION Future high-quality research, both primary and secondary, is needed to address the knowledge gaps identified in this systematic mapping review.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to measure the amount of change in the mandibular angle, intergonial width, and ramus angulation due to intersegmental interference and changes in condyle position after mandibular bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) in patients with mandibular prognathism and to evaluate the correlation between them. Materials and Methods: A total of 32 patients who underwent mandibular setback using the BSSRO of the mandible to manage skeletal prognathism during the years 2018 to 2020 at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Pusan National University were followed both clinically and with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for at least one year. Those who were also treated with genioplasty or other orthognathic surgery were excluded from the study. The mandibular angle (gonial angle: Ar–Go–Me), intergonial width (Go–Go), and total angle (sum of left and right proximal segmental angle) were recorded. Changes in the ramus were compared and analyzed before surgery (T1), immediately after surgery (T2), and one year following surgery (T3). Results: The mandibular angle increased by an average of 0.14 degrees immediately after surgery (T2–T1) and increased by 0.97 degrees at 12 months postoperatively (T3–T2). No correlation was observed with the amount of change in each group relative to the amount of mandibular setback. The mandibular width decreased by 0.01 mm on average immediately after surgery (T2–T1), and by 4.2 mm on average at 12 months after surgery (T3–T2). The angle of the mesial fragment of the mandible increased by 1.04 degrees immediately after surgery (T2–T1), compared to the preoperative state. It decreased by 0.86 degrees at 12 months postoperatively (T3–T2). Conclusion: The increase in the mandibular angle from immediately after surgery to 12 months after BSSRO reflects the counterclockwise rotational tendency to prevent opening restriction when intentionally selecting the condylar position. The decrease in the intergonial width immediately after surgery is thought to be due to the effect of internal trimming to minimize the bone interference between the outer surface of the distal bone fragment and the inner surface of the mesial fragment, and the decrease 1 year after surgery can be considered to be due to bone remodeling. Interosseous interference during mandibular setback osteotomy does not necessarily cause an increase in the width of the mandibular angle after surgery.

Straight Locking Miniplate Technique Achieves Submillimeter Accuracy of Condylar Positional Change During Bimaxillary Orthognathic Surgery for Patients With Skeletal Class III Malocclusion. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2020; 78:1834.e1-1834.e9. [PMID: 32428461 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2020.04.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2019] [Revised: 04/10/2020] [Accepted: 04/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The straight locking miniplate (SLM) technique is a straightforward method to accurately reposition the maxilla during bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. The present study evaluated the accuracy of the SLM technique in maintaining the condylar position during surgery without the use of a cutting guide. PATIENTS AND METHODS The present prospective, single-center study was conducted at Yokohama City University between 2016 and 2017 and included patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the fixation method used for the mandibular segments. The mandibular segments were fixed with miniplates either manually (manual group) or using the SLM technique (SLM group). Computed tomography was performed before and 3 days after surgery to compare the condylar position. The bodily and rotational movements of the condyle were analyzed. RESULTS The subjects were 18 Japanese patients (36 condyles) who had undergone bilateral set back surgery with Le Fort I osteotomy. The amount of bodily movements in the manual and SLM groups were 1.44 and 0.62 mm, respectively. The degree of rotational movement in the sagittal plane in the manual and SLM groups was 3.33° and 0.23°, respectively. The bodily and rotational movements in the SLM group were significantly smaller than those in the manual group (P < .05 and P < .01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that use of the SLM technique reduces the risk of condylar positional changes to less than 1 mm during orthognathic surgery without the use of any complex devices or a cutting guide.

Changes of temporomandibular joint position after surgery first orthognathic treatment concept. Sci Rep 2019; 9:2206. [PMID: 30778128 PMCID: PMC6379562 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-38786-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2018] [Accepted: 12/28/2018] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Orthognathic surgery treatment (OGS) after orthodontic treatment of dentofacial deformities is a widely performed procedure, often accompanied by a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). Positioning of the condyle during this procedure is a crucial step for achieving optimal functional and anatomical results. Intraoperatively poorly positioned condyles can have a negative effect on the postoperative result and the patient’s well-being. Changes of the condylar position during OGS Procedures and its effects on the temporomandibular joint in orthognathic surgical interventions (OGS) are subject of scientific discussions. However, up to date, no study has investigated the role of condyle position in the surgery first treatment concept. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of OGS on the three-dimensional position of the condyle in the joint in a surgery first treatment concept without positioning device and to record the change in position quantitatively and qualitatively. Analysis of our data indicated that OGS in surgery first treatment concept has no significant effect on the position of the condyle and the anatomy of the temporomandibular joint.

Computer-Aided Surgical Simulation for Yaw Control of the Mandibular Condyle and Its Actual Application to Orthognathic Surgery: A One-Year Follow-Up Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2018; 15:ijerph15112380. [PMID: 30373219 PMCID: PMC6267607 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph15112380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2018] [Revised: 10/23/2018] [Accepted: 10/24/2018] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Background: Favourable occlusal interdigitation and an optimized position of the mandibular condyle after surgery are essential for obtaining favourable results. The position of the condyle is determined during the operation. However, it is difficult to maintain the condyle’s original position post-surgery despite the efforts of the surgeons. Indeed, a degree of rotation of the condyle is unavoidable, since it is difficult to verify whether the condyle is positioned correctly during surgery. Purpose: To maximize contact between the bone segments, the condyle was rotated around the vertical axis using surgical simulations. We examined changes to the condyle-fossa relationship after comparing virtual surgery to actual surgery. Methods: From 2015 to 2017, 20 patients were diagnosed with skeletal malocclusion and participated in computer-aided surgical simulation before undergoing orthognathic surgery. In the simulation, the mandibular condyles were rotated around the vertical axis, and the proximal segments were fixed to the distal segments using a customized miniplate and positioning device during actual surgery. This study investigated the relationship between the condyle and fossa using cone-beam computed tomography for several different time periods (preoperative (T0), virtual surgery (Tv), postoperative three days (T1) and one year (T2)). Results: The coronal and sagittal view exhibited significant differences in the mean values between T1and T0, Tv, and T2 for all joint spaces. As a result of the distance, the mean value of T2 in both the superior joint space (JS) and the lateral JS was significantly higher than that of Tv. In contrast, the mean value of Tv in the medial JS was significantly higher than that of T2. Moreover, the mean value of T2 on the axial plane was significantly larger than the values of Tv and T1. The mean value of T0 was also significantly larger than those of Tv and T1, and the mean value of Tv was larger than that of T1. Although the condyle was rotated, it exhibited a tendency to return to its preoperative position. There was no statistically significant difference in functional evaluation between T0 and T2. Conclusion: Our method of using yaw control for the condyle during virtual surgery and transferring this technique to the actual surgery can improve the conventional surgical technique by positioning the proximal segment in a pre-planned position, thus achieving optimal results.

Positional change in mandibular condyle in facial asymmetric patients after orthognathic surgery: cone-beam computed tomography study. Maxillofac Plast Reconstr Surg 2018; 40:13. [PMID: 29984220 PMCID: PMC6015790 DOI: 10.1186/s40902-018-0152-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2018] [Accepted: 04/26/2018] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background We evaluated change in the mandibular condyle after orthognathic surgery using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in patients with facial asymmetry. Methods Thirty patients with skeletal class III malocclusion and mandibular prognathism or facial asymmetry were classified into two groups according to the amount of menton deviation (MD) from the facial midline on anteroposterior (AP) cephalogram: group A (asymmetry, MD ≥ 4 mm; n = 15) and group B (symmetry, MD < 4 mm; n = 15). Position and angle of condylar heads on the axial, sagittal, and coronal views were measured within 1 month preoperatively (T0) and postoperatively (T1) and 6 months (T2) postoperatively. Results On axial view, both groups showed inward rotation of condylar heads at T1, but at T2, the change was gradually removed and the condylar head returned to its original position. At T1, both groups showed no AP condylar head changes on sagittal view, although downward movement of the condylar heads occurred. Then, at T2, the condylar heads tended to return to their original position. The change in distance between the two condylar heads showed that they had moved outward in both groups, causing an increase in the width between the two heads postoperatively. Analysis of all three-dimensional changes of the condylar head positions demonstrated statistically significant changes in the three different CBCT views in group B and no statistically significant changes in group A. Conclusions There was no significant difference between the two groups in condylar head position. Because sagittal split ramus osteotomy can be performed without significant change in symmetrical and asymmetrical cases, it can be regarded as an effective method to stabilize the condylar head position in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion and mandibular prognathism or facial asymmetry.

Radiographic evaluation of condylar positioning in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery. Oral Maxillofac Surg 2017; 21:419-423. [PMID: 28894931 DOI: 10.1007/s10006-017-0649-7] [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: 03/04/2017] [Accepted: 08/30/2017] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate alterations in condylar positioning through submentovertex projection (Hirtz Radiographic Technique) in patients who underwent orthognathic surgery for maxillary advancement and mandibular setback with stable internal fixation. METHODS A prospective longitudinal clinical study of 40 surgical patients presenting dentofacial deformity admitted in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) in the period between March 2013 and December 2015. We performed two submentovertex digital radiographs, one 7 days before surgery and the other one 30 days after the procedure. Cephalometric tracings were made using Radiocef® Studio 2 Software and measured the intercondylar and condylar angles (right and left). RESULTS There was a decrease in the intercondylar angle (p < 0.001) and an increase in condylar angles both the right and the left side (p < 0.001) when compared with the pre and postoperative period. There was a larger increase in condylar angle on the right side in males (p = 0.007). CONCLUSION There is a tendency of decreasing of the intercondylar angle after orthognathic surgery, regardless of the alteration in the condylar angles, creating a new position of the condyle in the glenoid fossa. Patients with asymmetry may present greater alterations in the positioning of the opposite condylar to the deviation of the mandibular midline.

The effect of orthognathic surgery on the temporomandibular joint and oral function: a systematic review. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2017; 46:554-563. [PMID: 28174061 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2017.01.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2016] [Revised: 12/12/2016] [Accepted: 01/09/2017] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
The objective of this systematic review was to examine the effect of orthognathic surgery (OS) on the temporomandibular joint and oral function. Electronic databases were systematically searched for studies published until October 2015. Articles were assessed against predefined inclusion criteria. The included papers were divided into four groups based on the type of OS performed. The following items were recorded: quality of evidence using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based medicine (CEBM) criteria, number of patients, presence/absence of controls, mean age at treatment, follow-up time, clinical examination findings, bite force, use of the Helkimo Index and Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders, imaging findings, and patient questionnaire results. A total of 4669 articles were identified; 76 relevant articles were included in the review. These studies assessed a total 3399 patients and 380 controls, with a mean age of 25.4 years. The great variety of OS techniques, examination techniques, diagnostic criteria, and imaging techniques used in the articles studied, as well as the quality of the study designs, made it difficult to compare studies and to draw conclusions. However, looking at the different aspects studied in general, it can be stated that OS seems to have little or no harmful effect on the TMJ and oral function (level of evidence: levels II, III, and IV).

Mandibular stability using sliding or conventional four-hole plates for fixation after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy for mandibular setback. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2016; 55:378-382. [PMID: 27931722 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjoms.2016.11.318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2016] [Accepted: 11/18/2016] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Our aim was to compare the postoperative stability of the mandible when two different fixation methods had been used after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) for mandibular setback. The study included 23 patients who had two-jaw BSSRO mandibular setback at the Department of Oromaxillofacial Surgery, Korea University Guro Hospital, between January 2011 and June 2014. The first group (four-hole (control) group, n=13) comprised patients whose bony segments were fixed with conventional four-hole plates, and the second (sliding plate (experimental) group, n=10) included patients whose bone segments were fixed with sliding plates. Lateral cephalograms were taken and analysed at three time points: preoperatively (T1), and one week (T2), and 1year (T3) postoperatively. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the postoperative stability of the mandible in each group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in changes in the horizontal and vertical positions of point B and pogonion postoperatively, nor were there any significant differences between them in ramal inclination and inclination of the SN plane with point B at the given time points (p=>0.05 in surgical changes in the mandible immediately after surgery and 0.397, 0.616, 0.082, 0.951, 0.901, 0.476 in postoperative changes in the mandible 1 week to 1 year after surgery). Like the conventional four-hole plate, the sliding plate can also be used to achieve stability in the fixation of mandibular bone segments after BSSRO.

Comparison of Orthodontics-First and Surgery-First Approach in Positional Changes of the Condyle After Mandibular Setback Surgery Using Three-Dimensional Analysis. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2016; 74:2487-2496.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine and compare the 3-dimensional (3D) postoperative changes of the condylar position after mandibular setback surgery using the orthodontics-first approach (OFA) and surgery-first approach (SFA). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study included patients who had undergone bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy for mandibular prognathism using OFA or SFA. Computed tomography images were obtained and analyzed preoperatively (T0), postoperatively (T1), and at the 6-month follow-up visit (T2). The bodily shift of the condylar center and rotational movement of the condylar head were measured using the 3D coordinate system between each time point and compared between the OFA and SFA groups. Repeated measures analysis of variance with a Bonferroni post hoc test was used to compare the time course changes of the condylar position for the 2 surgical-orthodontic approaches. RESULTS A total of 55 patients (mean age 21.9 years; 31 males, 24 females) were evaluated. Of the 55 patients, 29 had undergone OFA and 26, SFA. In both groups, the condyle showed perioperative lateral and inferior displacement with inward rotation, followed by returning to its preoperative position during the 6 months postoperatively. No significant difference was found between the 2 groups in the time course change of the condylar position. CONCLUSIONS Regardless of the timing of the operation (OFA vs SFA), the perioperative and postoperative changes of the condylar position after mandibular setback surgery are equivalent.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to compare the time-course changes in condylar long-axis and skeletal stability after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) with an unsintered hydroxyapatite (u-HA)/poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) plate, PLLA plate, or titanium plate. PATIENTS AND METHODS Of 60 Japanese patients diagnosed with mandibular prognathism, 20 underwent SSRO with a u-HA/PLLA plate system, 20 underwent SSRO with a PLLA plate system, and 20 underwent SSRO with a conventional titanium plate system. The time-course changes in condylar long-axis and skeletal stability were assessed by use of axial, frontal, and lateral cephalograms. RESULTS Compared with the u-HA/PLLA group, the titanium group showed a significantly greater change in the right condyle angle between initially and 1 month (P = .0105) and intercondylar axes angle between 1 and 3 months (P = .0013). The PLLA group showed a significantly greater change than the titanium group (P = .0043) and u-HA/PLLA group (P = .0002) in terms of ramus inclination between 1 and 3 months; however, there were no significant differences among the 3 groups in the other measurements for each time interval. CONCLUSION This study suggests that there are no significant differences in postoperative time-course changes among a u-HA/PLLA plate system, PLLA plate system, and conventional titanium plate system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the necessity of maxillo-mandibular fixation (MMF) from a viewpoint of postoperative stability to treat mandibular asymmetries. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four patients who underwent surgical correction of mandibular asymmetry were analyzed. The surgical procedure in all patients consisted of bilateral sagittal splitting ramus osteotomy (SSRO). The segments were then fixed rigidly with titanium screws. A postoperative MMF was performed in 12 patients within 1 day of the SSRO. The MMF lasted for 1 week. The other 12 patients were free to move their jaw on the day of the surgery and received occlusal guidance with elastics starting from the third postoperative day. Posterior-anterior cephalograms were taken preoperatively, 1 day postoperatively, and at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery. Skeletal and occlusal stabilities along with postoperative complications were then assessed. RESULTS Nausea and pharyngeal discomforts were observed very often in both groups. Even without MMF, occlusions were guided to the objective positions by an average of 3.5 days after surgery. Occlusal and skeletal stability was satisfactory in both groups, and there was no correlation between the surgical results and the use of postoperative MMF. CONCLUSION MMF is not necessary after rigid fixation SSRO for mandibular asymmetry, considering the risks of airway distress.

J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2008; 66:900-4. [PMID: 18423278 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2007.08.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2007] [Revised: 05/09/2007] [Accepted: 08/29/2007] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study was conducted to compare the time-course changes in condylar long-axis and skeletal stability after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) with bicortical plate fixation versus monocortical plate fixation. PATIENTS AND METHODS Of a group of 40 Japanese patients diagnosed with mandibular prognathism, 20 underwent SSRO with bicortical plate fixation using a locking plate system and the other 20 underwent SSRO with monocortical plate fixation using a conventional plate system. The time-course changes in condylar long-axis and skeletal stability were assessed through axial, frontal, and lateral cephalograms. RESULTS Significant differences were found between the 2 groups in changes of the left condylar angle between the initial and 1-month measurements (P = .0454) and in ANB between the 1- and 3-month measurements (P = .0206); however, no significant differences were found between the 2 groups in the other measurements in each time interval. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest no significant differences in postoperative time-course changes between bicortical plate fixation using a locking plate system and monocortical plate fixation using a conventional plate system.

Is there any difference in the condylar position and angulation after asymmetric mandibular setback? ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2006; 101:155-63. [PMID: 16448915 DOI: 10.1016/j.tripleo.2005.04.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2005] [Revised: 03/11/2005] [Accepted: 04/11/2005] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was performed to compare the condylar position and angulation on 3-dimensional (3D) views between greater setback side (GSS) and lesser setback side (LSS) after asymmetric mandibular setback (AMS) using computed tomography. STUDY DESIGN The sample consisted of 12 Korean skeletal class III malocclusion patients with mandibular prognathism and facial asymmetry, who underwent sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) with rigid fixation. Tomographs were taken 1 month before (T1) and 6 months after surgery (T2). Position and angulation of the condyles were measured. RESULTS At T1 stage, the condylar head in GSS showed more forward inclination on the sagittal view (P < .05) than that of LSS. Although there were significant inward and backward rotations of the condylar head in GSS (P < .01) and significant backward rotation in LSS at T2 stage (P < .05), 3D positions of the condyle in GSS and LSS were not changed after AMS. CONCLUSION SSRO might be effective to stabilize the condylar position for AMS.

Effect of Mandibular Setback via Bilateral Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy on Transverse Displacement of the Proximal Segment. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2005; 63:908-16.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate if a correlation exists between: a) transverse changes in the proximal segments because of mandibular setback surgery and b) postsurgical horizontal relapse of the mandible. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 42 patients underwent bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy setback with rigid fixation and Le Fort I osteotomy performed by 1 surgeon between 1986 and 2000. The radiographic material for this study consisted of posteroanterior and lateral cephalometric radiographs for each patient taken preoperatively (T1), early postoperatively (T2), and late postoperatively (T3). Twenty-four of the 42 identified patients had T1, T2, and T3 radiographs, while the remainder of the patients had only T1 and T2 radiographs available. The posteroanterior radiographs were used to evaluate the angulation of the proximal segment and the intergonial width. RESULTS Statistically significant increases in intergonial width and proximal segment angulation occurred from T1 to T2. In fact, all 42 patients had an increased intergonial width from T1 and T2. From T2 to T3, most patients underwent some relapse in their transverse dimension changes (21 of 24 patients had a decrease in their intergonial width). Overall, the intergonial width and the proximal segment angulations were significantly increased from T1 to T3. However, there was no significant correlation between the amount of transverse displacement of the proximal segment and horizontal postsurgical relapse of the mandible. CONCLUSION The results show that statistically significant changes in the transverse width and angulation between proximal segments occur in patients undergoing bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy for mandibular setback with rigid fixation. However, the magnitude of the changes was small, and it is still uncertain as to whether these changes are of any clinical significance.

The influence of pre- and intraoperative positioning of the condyle in the centre of the articular fossa on the position of the disc in orthognathic surgery. A magnetic resonance study. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2004; 42:120-6.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the changes in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy of the mandible for orthognathic surgery and the influence of positioning of the condylar process in the centre of the articular fossa before and during the operation for preventing changes in the TMJ postoperatively. STUDY DESIGN A total of 28 patients with mandibular retrognathism had bilateral sagittal split osteotomies for mandibular advancement. In one group of 14 patients (28 TMJ), the condyles were placed in the centre of the articular fossa before and during the operation, and in the other group they were not. Differences on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were calculated and the results were evaluated. RESULTS The main differences were found at maximal mouth opening. 15/28 TMJs (54%) that had not been positioned changed the position of the disc from physiological to anterior disc derangement with and without reduction postoperatively. In the 28 that had been positioned, changes were found in only 3 TMJs (11%) postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Fixing the condylar process in the centre of the articular fossa intraoperatively before bilateral sagittal split osteotomy is a factor in preventing postoperative structural changes in the temporomandibular joint.

Abstract
PURPOSE Most techniques of proximal segment positioning hinder intraoperative condyle displacement. However, merely maintaining condylar position cannot optimize the preoperative condyle-disc-fossa relationship. This study attempts to optimize condylar position in the osteotomy patient. PATIENTS AND METHODS A study group of 23 bimaxillary operated patients had intraoperative joint positioning by positioning splint and plates (9 Angle Class II, 14 Class III). After assessing the habitual and appraising the optimized condyle position on preoperative sonograms and magnetic resonance images, positioning splints were constructed as acrylic occlusal wafers in a semi-individual articulator. Set in occlusion before adaptation of positioning plates, they were intended to move the condyles into the calculated position. Eighteen bimaxillary operated control patients had conventional plate positioning according to the habitual occlusion (9 Angle Class II, 9 Class III). Clinical follow-up, axiography, or sonography was maintained for 24 months. Preoperative lateral cephalograms were scrutinized for horizontal and vertical joint spaces and compared with the immediate postoperative radiography. RESULTS Postoperative Class II study group patients had less dorsal and more vertical joint space and Class III patients more dorsal and vertical space compared with the controls. The study group exhibited significantly less postoperative dysfunction compared with the control group (2-way analysis of variance: P <.021, F = 9.2, alpha =.05 significance level), disc dislocation prevalence was lower (P <.07, F = 9.2), postoperative changes in condylar translation were smaller (P <.014, F = 4.9), and 8% skeletal relapses versus 22% in the controls were seen. CONCLUSIONS A proximal segment-positioning splint effectively positioned the condyle in the desired direction, but with considerable relapse, significantly reduced postoperative dysfunction, disc dislocations, changes to the condylar translation, and incidence of skeletal relapse at 24-month follow-up.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the changes in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) morphology and clinical symptoms after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) and intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) with and without a Le Fort I osteotomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Of 43 patients with a diagnosed jaw deformity, 20 underwent IVRO without internal fixation and 23 underwent SSRO with rigid internal fixation. Some operations were performed in combination with a Le Fort I osteotomy. The TMJ symptoms and joint morphology, including the disc position, were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and axial cephalography. RESULTS A significant difference in the direction of condylar rotation was seen in horizontal axial cephalography images (P <.01). Fewer or no TMJ symptoms were reported postoperatively by 88% of the patients who underwent IVRO with or without a Le Fort I osteotomy and by 66.7% of patients who underwent SSRO with or without a Le Fort I osteotomy. In sagittal images, no change was seen in anterior disc displacement after SSRO; however, improvement was seen in 44.4% of patients with anterior disc displacement who underwent IVRO with or without a Le Fort I osteotomy. CONCLUSION These results suggest that SSRO does not improve anterior disc displacement; IVRO improves anterior disc displacement in the initial postsurgical period, and both procedures may improve TMJ symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate condylar displacement in 3 dimensions by means of computed tomography after mandibular setback by sagittal split ramus osteotomy with rigid fixation and to compare these results with those from patients with mandibular advancement. STUDY DESIGN Thirty Korean subjects with skeletal class III malocclusion who had undergone mandibular setback by sagittal split ramus osteotomy had computed tomographs taken. Tomographs were taken to evaluate the temporomandibular joint 1 month before and approximately 1 month after surgery. The position and angulation of the condyle were measured on axial or sagittal views. These measurements were analyzed to determine any correlations between the amount of mandibular movement and condylar displacement. RESULTS The results of this study show that the condyle tends to move inferiorly and rotate inward on the axial view and backward on the sagittal view by a statistically significant amount. CONCLUSION The positional change of the condyle after sagittal split ramus osteotomy was not correlated with the amount of the setback.

Abstract
Skeletal asymmetry in patients who undergo orthognathic surgery is frequently associated with postoperative temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders caused by condylar rotation. This study was designed to elucidate the relation between changes in the condylar long axis and TMJ function after bisagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). A total of 42 patients with mandibular prognathism underwent BSSO. Split osseous fragments were secured by standard titanium plates in 22 patients; bent titanium plates were used to secure fragments in 20 patients. The angle of the bent plates was adjusted to avoid displacement of the condyle after osteotomy, as compared with condylar position on preoperative submental-vertical (S-V) cephalograms. The postoperative position of the condyle was assessed on X-ray film, and changes in TMJ function were evaluated. The condylar long axis differed significantly on X-ray film between patients using a standard titanium plate and those using a bent plate (P<0.05), and no sign of TMJ functional impairment was noted in the bent-plate group. Although the use of bent plates requires further study, maintenance of a suitable position of the condyle relative to the condylar axis is one of the conditions for a successful outcome of BSSO.
