Dvoranova B, Vavro M, Czako L, Hirjak D. Does orthognathic surgery affect mandibular condyle position? A retrospective study. Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024; 28:639-643. [PMID: 37740127 PMCID: PMC11144676 DOI: 10.1007/s10006-023-01181-3] [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: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/16/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to analyze mandibular condyle position changes after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) and bimaxillary orthognathic surgery in patients operated at a single department by two surgeons in 2013-2022. Compared were groups of mandibular advancement vs setback and bimaxillary vs BSSO. METHODS Ninety-nine subjects were included. Inclusion criteria were patients who underwent one of the BSSO or bimaxillary surgery and had CT scans performed before and after surgery. Preoperative CT scans were performed 1 day before surgery and postoperative CT scans 6-12 months afterwards. Changes in mandibular condyle position were measured in axial and sagittal planes. RESULTS CT condylar position measurements indicated significant postoperative changes in AB angle bilaterally (p = < 0.001). In mandibular advancement and setback comparison, values were significantly lower in ABL angle values in the setback group (p = 0.011326) and significantly higher in FDR in the advancement group (p = 0.005795). There were no statistically significant changes found in BSSO and bimaxillary group comparison. CONCLUSION Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that orthognathic surgery does have a moderate effect on position of the condyles, especially condylar rotation in transversal axis.

[PMID: 37640238 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2023.08.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Condylar adaptations following orthognathic surgery remain an area of interest. Prior studies do not use 3-dimensional imaging modalities and lack standardization in the choice of osteotomy and movement when assessing condylar changes. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to use 3-dimensional cephalometry to measure the association between osteotomy type (sagittal split osteotomy [SSO] vs vertical ramus osteotomy [VRO]) and changes in condylar volume and position. STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, AND SAMPLE This is a retrospective cohort study from January 2021 through December 2022 of patients at Bellevue Hospital in New York City, New York who were treated with either SSO or VRO for the correction of Class III skeletal malocclusion. PREDICTOR/EXPOSURE/INDEPENDENT VARIABLE The primary predictor was the type of mandibular osteotomy, sagittal split osteotomy, and vertical ramus osteotomy. MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLES The primary outcomes were changes in condylar volume (change measured in mm3) and relative position (anterior-posterior change utilizing the Pullinger and Hollinder method). COVARIATES Covariates included patient age, sex, setback magnitude, temporomandibular joint symptoms, and fixation method for SSO patients. ANALYSES Univariate comparisons were performed between independent variables and study outcomes. Volume changes were compared within each predictor using paired t-tests. Position changes were compared within each predictor using χ2 tests. If there were multiple significant univariate predictors, multiple regression models were created to predict volume and position changes. A P < .05 value was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The final sample comprised 30 condyles derived from 30 subjects. Mean age was 22.7 years (SD = 5.7) and mean setback was 3.9 mm (SD = 0.9). Twenty two condyles (73.3%) were subject to SSO with fixation, while the remaining 8 (26.7%) condyles were subject to intraoral VRO without fixation. When compared to VRO, condyles manipulated with SSO had greater volume loss (-177.2 vs -60.9 mm3; P = .03) and positional change (68.2 vs 12.5%; P < .01). Self-reported measures of postoperative pain, internal derangement, and myofascial symptoms were not significantly associated with either volume or positional changes. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The SSO resulted in greater postoperative condylar volume loss and positional changes. These volume and positional changes were not correlated with self-reported temporomandibular disorder symptoms.

Condylar remodelling in a severe class II deep bite dento-skeletal malocclusion treated with an ortho-surgical approach: A five-year follow-up case report. Int Orthod 2023; 21:100749. [PMID: 36996531 DOI: 10.1016/j.ortho.2023.100749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023]
Abstract
Condylar displacement and remodelling are phenomena closely related to orthognathic surgery and critically involved in occlusal and skeletal stability. The aim of the present case report is to describe over time condylar displacement and surface remodelling after bilateral split sagittal osteotomy (BSSO) in an adult patient with severe class II skeletal malocclusion treated with ortho-surgical approach. A male of 21years comes to our observation. The extraoral examination shows a symmetrical square-shaped face, a convex profile, an acute nasolabial angle and a deep labiomental fold. Intraoral examination reveals a class II division 2 with a 2mm deviation of the mandibular midline to the left and the presence of a scissor bite of the bicuspids between quadrants II and III. The Spee curve and overbite are extremely accentuated (OV 14.3mm) as the overjet (11.1mm). Axiographic reconstructions of CBCT show a normal shape and position of both condyles. The cephalometric analysis shows a reduced lower facial height, a normal upper jaw position, a mandibular underdevelopment masked by a very developed symphysis and an extremely low divergence (FMA 11.2°). BSSO for mandibular setback was performed in the 13th month of orthodontic therapy. Original CBCT data before surgery (T0), at the end of treatment (T1), 2years postoperatively (T2) and 5years postoperatively (T3) were collected and reconstructed for 3-dimensional (3D) qualitative analyse. At the end of the surgical-orthodontic treatment (26months), good function and good aesthetics were achieved. The qualitative and comparative analysis of the superimpositions and the cuts made on the CBCT at T0, T1, T2, T3 showed a physiological remodelling and adaptation of the condyles.

Three dimensional condylar positional and morphological changes following mandibular reconstruction based on CBCT analysis: a prospective study. Head Face Med 2023; 19:3. [PMID: 36747208 PMCID: PMC9903492 DOI: 10.1186/s13005-023-00347-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the condylar positional changes following mandibular reconstruction with preservation of the condylar head using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Also, to assess joint space changes and the overall volumetric space compared to the preoperative status. METHODOLOGY This prospective study included 30 patients (60 joints) subjected to unilateral mandibular resection and reconstruction with preservation of the condylar head. The Helkimo index and preoperative (T1), two weeks postoperative (T2), and follow-up CBCTs (T3) after at least six months were gathered and processed to evaluate the condylar position and TMJ joint space using Anatomage Invivo 6. A student's t-test and repeated-measures ANOVA statistics were used. A P value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Thirty patients (14 males, 16 females) with a mean age of 40.01 ± 12.7 years (a range of 18.1-62.9 years) were included. On the tumor side, there were significant variances in the vertical and mediolateral condylar positions between the three-time points (T1, T2, T3). Immediately after the operation, the condyles were significantly displaced in a downward direction at T2, which became larger after the last follow-up period (T3) (p = 0.007). The condylar positions at the anteroposterior direction were relatively stable without significant differences between the three times points (p = 0.915). On the non-tumor side, the condylar positions were relatively stable in the mediolateral and anteroposterior positions. In the tumor side, all of the TMJ spaces were significantly increased in size following the mandibular reconstructions (T2 and T3). However, on the non-tumor side, the anterior, posterior, and medial joint spaces were significantly changed postoperatively. CONCLUSION After mandibular reconstruction with condylar preservation, the condylar position and volumetric measurement immediately changed noticeably and continued to be a permanent change over time compared to relatively stable condyles on the non-tumor side. According to Helkimo index, patients become adapted to the postoperative changes without significant differences between the two sides.

[PMID: 36629885 DOI: 10.1007/s00056-022-00441-3] [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: 02/04/2022] [Accepted: 11/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE We evaluated the changes in the strain energy density (SED) in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disk after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) at three time points. A finite element model (FEM) based on real patient-based computed tomography (CT) data was used to examine the effect of SSRO on the TMJ. METHODS Measurements of the condylar position and angulation in CT images and FEM analyses were performed for 17 patients scheduled to undergo SSROs at the following time points: before surgery, immediately after surgery, and 1 year after surgery. SED on the entire disk was calculated at each of the three time points using FEM. Furthermore, the relationship between individual SED values and the corresponding condylar position was also evaluated. RESULTS No significant change was observed in the condylar position at the three time points. The FEM analysis showed that SED was the highest and lowest immediately after and 1 year after surgery, respectively. A possible SED distribution imbalance between the left and right joints was improved 1 year after SSRO. Concerning the effect of fossa morphometry and condylar position, wide and deep glenoid fossae and a more posterior condylar position tended to show lower SED. CONCLUSION SED in the articular disk temporarily increased after surgery and significantly decreased 1 year after surgery compared with that before surgery. SSRO generally improved the imbalance between the left and right joints. Thus, SSRO, which improves maxillofacial morphology, may also improve components of temporomandibular disorders.

Three-Dimensional Quantitative Assessment of Condylar Displacement and Adaptive Remodeling in Asymmetrical Mandibular Prognathism Patients After Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy. J Craniofac Surg 2023; 34:240-246. [PMID: 36608101 PMCID: PMC9794121 DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000008836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2021] [Accepted: 05/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
This study was performed to evaluate the condylar displacement and associated condylar remodeling in class III patients following mandibular setback surgery via sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO). The sample comprised of 26 condyles of 13 subjects (mean age of 21.2±2.6 y). We evaluated patients with mandibular prognathism and facial asymmetry who had undergone SSRO for mandibular setback at Korea University Hospital between January 2016 and December 2018. Three-dimensional segmentation of the mandibular condyles was done using the initial cone-beam computed tomography scan and scan taken 12 months postoperatively or later. Quantitative assessments of the 3-dimensional condylar displacement from T0 to T1 and bony remodeling of 8 regions of the condylar head were performed. The correlation between the condylar displacement and condylar head remodeling on the deviated (D) and nondeviated (ND) sides was analyzed. Significant correlations between condylar displacement and surface remodeling were observed in both D and ND condyles. The anteroposterior condylar displacement was significantly different between the D and ND sides (P=0.007). There was no significant difference in condylar remodeling between the 2 sides. Condylar displacement and adaptive remodeling after SSRO varied greatly among individuals. Compared with displacement in the ND condyle, displacement in the D condyle has a greater association with condylar remodeling in both D and ND condyles. There is no significant difference in condylar head remodeling between D and ND condyles.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the changes in the condylar position after orthognathic surgery (OGS) and its effect on temporomandibular disorders (TMD). A total of 37 dentofacial deformity patients included in the study who had undergone OGS were divided into three groups: Group I, Le Fort I maxillary advancement; Group II, bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) mandibular advancement ± Le Fort I; and Group III, BSSO mandibular setback ± Le Fort I. Patients were evaluated clinically using Diagnostic Criteria for TMD and by radiography preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. The positional changes in condyle were correlated with signs and symptoms of TMD. A total of 37 patients in three groups (Group I, 8 patients; Group II, 10 patients; and Group III, 19 patients) were evaluated. Overall, condyles had anterio-medio-inferior movement with 7 of 8 patients in Group I, 6 of 10 patients in Group II and 13 of 19 patients in Group III having ≤2 mm displacement. In angular changes, inward-anterio-medial movement was observed with 6 of 8 patients in Group I; about 5 of 10 patients, and 10 of 19 patients in Group II and III respectively had ≤5° change. Intragroup and intergroup comparisons showed insignificant changes in TMD and linear/angular movement (p ≥ 0.05). Pearson correlation coefficient was found to be nonsignificant on the radiographic and clinical comparison (p ≥ 0.05). Intrarater reliability (Kappa value) was found to be 0.83, confirming the results. Within the limitations of the study it seems that there are minimal linear and angular changes in condyle after orthognathic surgery that were not responsible for the development of temporomandibular disorders in the postoperative course.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the morphometric changes in the position of the mandibular condyles before and after orthognathic surgery. METHODS A retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted and included patients with a presurgical (T1) and postsurgical (T2) Cone Beam computed tomography (CBCT). The primary predictor variable was the orthognathic surgical treatment. Pre-operative and post-operative CBCT scans were superimposed using voxel-based registration. Semitransparent overlays of the models of condylar regions at T1 and T2 were created for the qualitative analysis. The primary outcome variable was the quantitative displacement of condyles (CoR; CoL) analyzed in X, Y, Z axis and the 3D distances. Descriptive and bivariate statistical analysis was performed, setting α=0.05. RESULTS The study sample included 33 patients (mean age: 25.33±2.49 years) affected by skeletal class III malocclusion with or without skeletal asymmetry. The X-axis showed a mean movement of 0.25 ± 0.17 mm for CoR, and 0.52 ± 0.51 mm for CoL. The Y-axis showed a mean movement of 0.29 ± 0.2 mm for CoR, and 0.51 ± 0.8 mm for CoL. The Z-axis was 0.33 ± 0.2 mm for CoR, and 0.5 ± 0.49 mm for CoL. No statistically significant difference was calculated comparing the movement of condylar surface between asymmetric and not asymmetric patients (p = 0.26 for CoR; p = 0.13 for CoL). No statistically significant difference was found in intercondylar distance between T1 and T2 (p = 0.39). CONCLUSION No statistically nor clinically significant condylar displacement are recorded in orthognathic surgery patients at 12 to 18 months of follow-up.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate postoperative relapse after the surgical correction of skeletal Class III deformities of various facial patterns as a guide to surgical planning. A retrospective cohort study of 90 consecutive patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion who underwent bimaxillary surgery was performed. The surgical outcomes and postoperative stability were compared. The primary predictor variable was vertical facial type, which was classified into three groups according to the Frankfort mandibular plane angle (FMA). The primary outcome of angular and linear measurements was obtained using serial cone beam computed tomography scans obtained at time points of preoperative, 1 week after surgery, and orthodontic debonding. No significant difference in skeletal relapse was observed in patients with the different vertical facial types. The mandible displayed a forward and upward relapse in all three groups postoperatively. The patients with a low FMA exhibited a more consistent mandibular relapse pattern than those with a normal or high FMA. These findings suggest that bimaxillary surgery is clinically stable for mandibular prognathism regardless of the vertical facial pattern. However, 1-1.5 mm of overcorrection in the mandible setback should be considered in patients with a low FMA, because of the greater facial depth and consistent forward and upward mandibular relapse pattern.

Abstract
Background Many studies on maintaining the condyle in a normal or anatomical position during orthognathic surgery have been conducted to stabilize surgical outcomes and prevent iatrogenic temporomandibular joint complications. The aim of this study is to evaluate the changes in condylar positions after orthognathic surgery using virtual surgical planning via the balanced orthognathic surgery (BOS) system. Methods Postoperative changes in condylar position were retrospectively evaluated in 22 condyles of 11 patients with skeletal class III malocclusion who underwent orthognathic surgery using virtual surgical planning via the BOS system. The center point coordinates of the condylar head before and after orthognathic surgery were analyzed using voxel-based registration. Results Changes in the condylar position mainly occurred downward in the y-axis (−1.09 ± 0.62 mm) (P < 0.05). The change in the x-axis (0.02 ± 0.68 mm) and z-axis (0.01 ± 0.48 mm) showed no significant difference between before and after orthognathic surgery. Conclusion These results indicate that the changes in the condylar positions after orthognathic surgery using virtual surgical planning via the BOS system mainly occurred downward in the y-axis, with slight changes in the x- and z-axes. The change in the condylar position after orthognathic surgery using the BOS system is clinically acceptable.

Maxillofac Plast Reconstr Surg 2021; 43:41. [PMID: 34807339 PMCID: PMC8608960 DOI: 10.1186/s40902-021-00325-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2021] [Accepted: 09/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the postoperative change in the position and stability of the mandibular condyle after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) and BSSRO with distal segmental ostectomy (DSO) in patients with facial asymmetry using 3D computed tomography. Methods The condyles of the patient diagnosed with facial asymmetry were divided into the deviated side (DS) and the non-deviated side (NDS). Group I, which was treated with BSSRO only, and Group II, which additionally received DSO along with BSSRO, were superimposed on the condyle using the pre-and postoperative 3D CT. The amount of condylar change in anteroposterior displacement, mediolateral displacement, and rotation was measured. The clinical symptoms of temporomandibular joint were also evaluated before and after surgery for each patient. Results Between Groups I and II, there was no statistically significant difference in the anteroposterior condylar position on both DS and NDS. And also, there was no statistical difference between the two groups in the mediolateral change on DS but, statistically significant difference on NDS. The change in the rotation of the condyle was observed to rotate inward from both condylar heads of Groups I and II, and a statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups on both DS and NDS. Moreover, no difference in clinical temporomandibular joint symptoms was observed after surgery in each DS and NDS condyle of the two groups. Conclusions As a result of analyzing the condylar position change of the group treated with BSSRO alone and the group treated with BSSRO and DSO in patients with facial asymmetry, there were statistically significant differences in the mediolateral displacement of NDS and the condyle rotation of NDS and DS. However, the anteroposterior condylar position did not show any difference in the bilateral condyles. In addition, since worsening clinical symptoms of bilateral temporomandibular joint were not observed before and after surgery in both groups, it is concluded that it is not necessary to accompany DSO in patients with facial asymmetry (minimum 3 mm, maximum 7 mm).

J Maxillofac Oral Surg 2021; 20:432-438. [PMID: 34408370 DOI: 10.1007/s12663-021-01564-7] [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: 08/31/2020] [Accepted: 04/10/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Condylar displacement after bilateral sagittal-split osteotomy (BSSO) occur in the sagittal plane as clockwise/counter-clockwise rotation of the ramus, in the coronal plane as medial/lateral inclination, or in the axial plane as medial/lateral condylar torquing. The purpose of this prospective CT study was to evaluate the role of plate fixation in minimizing condylar torquing or rotational changes in the axial plane. Materials and Methods This prospective study was carried out on 26 patients, 13 of whom underwent advancement BSSO and 13 setback BSSO, without maxillary LeFort I osteotomies. All mandibular movements were symmetrical. Fixation of the osteotomized segments was achieved with a single 4-hole plate and monocortical screws. In case of mandibular setbacks, a straight plate was used, whereas an inset-bent plate was used for advancements. Computed tomography scans were obtained preoperatively and postoperatively to measure condylar rotation or torqueing in the axial plane. An increase in condylar angle on axial slices was considered as lateral condylar torquing, whereas a decrease was considered as medial condylar torquing. Results A mean medial condylar torquing of 0.2° was noted postoperatively in case of setbacks (p > 0.05 not significant). This suggested minimal condylar torquing, indicating that the proximal and distal segments maintained contact at the anterior vertical osteotomy fixed with a straight plate. In case of advancements, a mean lateral condylar torquing of 2.2° was noted postoperatively (p < 0.005, highly significant). This suggested that the proximal segment flare at the anterior vertical osteotomy site was maintained by inset-bent plate fixation. Conclusion The gaps between the proximal and distal segments created by mandibular advancement and setback should be maintained. An attempt to close these gaps, especially in mandibular advancement, will result in an unfavourable axial condylar torque. Consequently, the areas of bony contact between the proximal and distal osteotomy sites created by mandibular advancement and setback should be maintained as well.

Changes in Condylar Position Within 12 Months After Bilateral Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy With and Without Le Fort I Osteotomy by Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2021; 80:162-173. [PMID: 34547267 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2021.08.146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2021] [Revised: 08/11/2021] [Accepted: 08/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the condylar position changes in 12 months after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSO) with and without a Le Fort I osteotomy in patients with Class III malocclusion and the influence of the 2 surgical approaches on the condylar position. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion who underwent orthognathic surgery between 2017 and 2019 were included. The main predictive variable is the effect of increasing Le Fort I osteotomy on condyle position, which is divided into BSSO-only group and BSSO + Le Fort I osteotomy group. The main outcome variables were the displacement of the condylar head and the rotation/inclination of the condylar long axis before and after surgery. Other study variables were according to the degree of asymmetry of the left and right side of the mandible, the measured values of both sides were divided into mandibular deviation and nondeviation. The cone-beam volumetric imaging images were obtained before surgery (T1) and immediately after surgery (T2), 3 months (T3), 6 months (T4), and 12 months (T5) after surgery by computerized tomography (CT). One-way ANOVA and Tukey test was used for correlation analysis. The p-value is set to 0.05. RESULTS Twenty-four adult patients diagnosed with skeletal Class III malocclusion were included in this study, 12 patients (male/female = 6:6, mean age 21.8 years) who underwent BSSO + Le Fort I osteotomy and 12 patients (male/female = 6:6, mean age 19.8 years) who underwent BSSO-only. The position of the bilateral condylar head in both surgery groups was adjusted continuously during the 12 months after the operation. Immediately and 12 months after surgery, both sides of the condylar long axis in the BSSO with Le Fort I osteotomy group and the BSSO-only surgery group rotated inward, tilted forward, and tilted inward. In the BSSO with Le Fort I osteotomy group, the rotation and tilt angle changes of the condylar long axis on both sides were stable 6 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS The addition of Le Fort I osteotomy did not significantly change the rotation and tilt direction of the condylar long axis and could accelerate the stability of the condylar long axis after BSSO surgery.

Abstract
The authors analyzed the three-dimensional postoperative condylar position change across the plating systems. This retrospective study was conducted with the patients who underwent bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy with setback surgery. The condylar change was analyzed from preoperative cone-beam computed tomography to postoperative 1 month (T1) and postoperative 6 months (T2) using superimposition software, automatically merging based on the anterior cranial base. The condylar changes during T1 and T2 were analyzed across the four types of plates (4-hole sliding, heart-shaped, 3-hole sliding, and 4-hole conventional) Mean intraclass correlation coefficient values were consistently high for each measurement (>0.850). During T1, the conventional plate had a decreased condylar anterior distance when compared with the 3-hole sliding plate (P = 0.032). During T2, the conventional plate had an increased condylar posterior distance when compared with the 3-hole sliding plate (P = 0.031). Superimposition software based on the anterior cranial base could be available for measurement of condylar position with highly reproducible results. After bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy, the 3-hole sliding plate could effectively compensate for the anterior displacement of the condyle compared to other plates.

Differences of condylar changes after orthognathic surgery among Class II and Class III patients. J Formos Med Assoc 2021; 121:98-107.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The nature of susceptibility to condylar resorption after orthognathic surgery can be different between skeletal Class II and Class III populations, which was addressed by few in the past. The aim of the present study was to use cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images to investigate the displacement and morphological changes of temporomandibular joints (TMJs) in patients received orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery. METHODS Both Class III (n = 34) and Class II (n = 17) patients were compared through overall and regional superimpositions of the initial and posttreatment CBCTs. Two-sample t-test was used to identify significance between group differences. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to address changes of TMJ and the amount of setback or advancement. RESULTS The axial ramal angle increased significantly in Class III group and decreased in Class II groups after orthognathic surgery (p < FDR_p). For condylar dimensions, significant widths and lengths reductions were noted only in Class II group. However, no significant difference was found after comparing subgroup differences according to one-jaw and two-jaw options, nor any significant correlation found between the condylar changes and the amount of surgical movements. CONCLUSION The nature of condylar susceptibility could result more from different skeletal patterns than the amount of surgical movements. However, the direction of mandibular surgery may contribute to different changes of condylar angle in axial section.

Abstract
The study includes 21 adult patients with skeletal class III malocclusion who underwent orthognathic surgery and had computed tomography images records presurgery (T0) up to 6 months after the surgery (T1). The computed tomography images were analyzed three-dimensionally using the Proplan CMF 3.0 software. Different skeletal and dental parameters were used in analyzing the cephalometric analysis of the patients. The change in the condylar axis angle was evaluated on 3 planes: axial, coronal, and sagittal. The anteroposterior position of the condyle in relation to the glenoid fossa was evaluated in the sagittal plane. ∠SNB, ∠ANB, ∠Left Y-axis, ∠Right Y-axis were statistically significant (P < 0.01). Significant differences on the condylar axis angle were found between the groups on the sagittal plane (P < 0.05) whereas no significant differences were noted on the axial and the coronal plane. In the anteroposterior condylar position related to the glenoid fossa, the condyle exhibited different displacement on different condyles. The right condyle exhibited more of the posterior displacement whereas the left condyle exhibited more of anterior displacement of the condyle in relation to the glenoid fossa. Numerous studies have done regarding the changes after postsurgery using the two-dimensional cephalometric analysis. Using the 3D techniques helps us to identify the cephalometric point more accurately which thus enhances the accuracy in the cephalometric analysis. However, care should be taken not to change the axis of rotation of the condyle to prevent from the treatment relapse and to avoid temporo-mandibular disorders.

Abstract
Asymmetric mandibular prognathism is a clinically common skeletal dentomaxillofacial deformity. Unilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (USSRO) is an effective alternative procedure to bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) for some patients. However, the biomechanical effect of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) of USSRO has not been fully studied. This study aims to evaluate the stress distribution changes in the TMJ of asymmetric mandibular prognathism treated with BSSRO/USSRO, to validate the clinical feasibility of USSRO. Nineteen patients with mandibular prognathism patients who were treated with BSSRO (n=12) and USSRO (n=7) had preoperative and postoperative computed tomographic scanning. Preoperative and postoperative 3-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) of functional TMJ movements were made on one BSSRO patient and one USSRO patient. In all patients, the ANB angle and mandibular deviation were significantly improved postoperatively. There was no significant difference in the postoperative ANB angle and mandibular deviation between the BSSRO group and the USSRO group. In two preoperative FEA models, the maximum stresses of non-deviation side TMJ structures were greater than the deviation side during functional movements. The unbalanced stress distribution was corrected postoperatively in both BSSRO/USSRO FE models. Both BSSRO/USSRO can improve the ANB angle and mandibular deviation. The bilateral TMJ structure in patients with asymmetric mandibular prognathism had unbalanced stress, which could be significantly improved with the USSRO as effectively as BSSRO.

Abstract
Abstract The bilateral sagittal split osteotomy is considered the standard surgery to correct facial asymmetries. More recently, unilateral sagittal split osteotomy (USSO) was used to treat such malocclusions. Aim To assess facial symmetry following USSO in the treatment of class III laterognathia. Methods Frontal facial photographs of four groups of patients were assessed: (1) pre-surgical group (n = 30) with skeletal asymmetry, (2) postsurgical group assessing patients of the first group 2 years after USSO, (3) control group (n = 30) of patients judged to have harmonious facial norms, and (4) mirrored group (n = 30) in which the control photographs were altered by duplicating the right half side of the face to replace the left half, thus creating perfectly symmetrical faces. All 120 photographs were distributed to 40 expert orthodontists to evaluate and score facial symmetry using the visual analog scale. Skin sensitivity and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders were also assessed clinically pre and postsurgically. Results Statistically significant differences were observed between the pre-surgical group and each of the postsurgical and control groups (p < 0.001). The control and postsurgical groups received similar scores of symmetry (p = 0.774). The mirrored group received statistically significantly higher symmetry scores than either of the control or the postsurgical groups (p < 0.001). A reduction in TMJ disorders was noted after USSO and all patients reported normal skin sensation 2 years post-surgery. Conclusion When indicated, USSO is a dependable and practical surgical approach to correct facial asymmetries associated with class III malocclusion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate postoperative changes in the condyle after unilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (USSRO) and to compare them with changes occurring after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO). STUDY DESIGN For 50 condyles from 25 patients, positional and volumetric changes of condyle were analyzed by using computed tomography images taken before, immediately after, and 6 months after surgery and compared between the USRRO and BSSRO groups. RESULTS The condyle showed lateral and inferior displacement immediately after surgery and medial and superior movement at 6 months after surgery in the USSRO and BSSRO groups. No statistically significant difference was found between the 2 groups in the time-course positional change and rotation of the condyle. In the comparison of bodily shift and rotation between operated and nonoperated sides in USSRO group, there were no significant differences between the 2 sides, except for the perioperative rotation pattern on the coronal plane. At 6 months after surgery, the changed volume relative to preoperative condylar volume was only 5.2% in the USSRO group and 2.7% in the BSSRO group. CONCLUSIONS The findings from this study suggest that USSRO can be used effectively in appropriately selected patients; however, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems may arise when condylar displacement is excessive enough to exceed physiologic tolerances.

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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to quantify the displacement of the proximal segment after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy in patients with class III asymmetry and evaluate if the displacement was related to the movement of the distal segment. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty adults with class III asymmetry corrected by bimaxillary surgery were studied. Cone-beam computed tomography taken before and 1 week after surgery was used to measure the displacement of proximal segments and movement of the distal segment in terms of translation and rotation. The relationship between the displacemnt of the proximal segment and the movement of the distal segment was evaluated. RESULTS After surgery, the deviated proximal segment was displaced forward and to the deviated side, rotated downward, tilted, and turned to the opposite side. The opposite proximal segment was displaced forward and rotated downward. The roll rotation of the proximal segment was correlated with the left/right movement and roll rotation of the distal segment. CONCLUSION Early after orthognathic correction for class III asymmetry, the deviated proximal segment was displaced in a direction favorable for correction of asymmetry. The roll rotation of the proximal segment was affected by the transverse movement and roll rotation of the distal segment. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Knowledge of the ability and limitation of the proximal segment rotation improves the virtual simulation.

Abstract
The mandibular proximal ramus segments should be moved and rotated during orthognathic surgery-based skeletofacial reconstruction for the correction of challenging patients with facial asymmetry and malocclusion, but quantitative data regarding this rotation were not sufficient to date. This 3D computer-assisted study measured the proximal ramus segment rotation after 3D simulation-guided two-jaw surgery in patients with facial asymmetric deformity and class III malocclusion (n = 31). Using 3D mandible models and a reliable proximal ramus segment-related plane, angular changes in pitch, roll and yaw directions were measured before and one month after surgery. Significant rotational changes (p < 0.01) were observed in the left and right sides and overall proximal ramus segments after surgery, with absolute differences of 4.1 ± 3.0 (range −7.8 to 6.9), 2.8 ± 2.3 (−8.8 to 5.0), and 2.7 ± 2.4 (−6.6 to 9.9) degrees in pitch, roll, and yaw rotations, respectively. Numbness and mouth opening limiting occurred within the first 6 months after surgery but the patients had an unremarkable long-term postoperative course, with no revisionary surgery required. This study contributes to the multidisciplinary-related literature by revealing that proximal ramus segment rotation and rigid fixation with no postoperative intermaxillary immobilization was practicable in skeletofacial surgery for the successful treatment of asymmetric deformity and class III malocclusion.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of orthognathic surgery with intended manual condylar positioning on condyle by examining a change in its position. METHOD About 18 patients with mandibular prognathism who underwent orthognathic surgery with intentional manual condyle positioning were included. Condyle displacement was analyzed through 3D cone-beam computed tomography before and after operation. The patients were categorized into 2 experimental groups: group A (1-jaw) and group B (2-jaw). The experimental groups were examined before surgery (T0), 3 days (T1), and 6 months (T2) after surgery. Condylar displacement direction was investigated in terms of bodily shift and rotational movement. RESULTS Downward bodily shift of condyle after surgery was significantly apparent from all of the patients. Condylar bodily shift in other directions was statistically insignificant. Gross bodily shift of condyle right after surgery was anterolateral-inferior direction. In perspective of rotational movement, condyle rotated in infero-medial direction right after operation, but no significant change was presented afterwards. In addition, no significant difference in the amounts of condylar shift and pattern existed between groups A and B. CONCLUSION Intended manual condylar positioning may minimize postoperative displacement of condyle while accomplishing skeletal stability.

Abstract
Background This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the evaluation of the condylar position, angulation and intercondylar distance and assess the changes in these parameters before and after bimaxillary surgery, preformed with the critical movments of Le Fort I osteotomy (for impaction of the maxilla and conterclockwise rotation of the upper occlusal plane) and Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO) for mandibular advancement (> 8mm). Material and Methods Twenty class II patients successfully treated with BSSO of the mandible, in conjunction with Le Fort I osteotomy, were studied to evaluate the condylar changes before and after surgery. The position of the condyle was classified according to the Pullinger & Hollender’s formula in both phases. A MANOVA analysis followed by post-hoc tests were conducted to ascertain if there were statistically significant differences between pre and post surgical variables under study. The agreement of the condylar position’s classification was evaluated resorting to the Kappa statistics. Results There were no statistically significant differences between the values of the position and angulation of the condyles and intercondylar distance before and after surgery. There was an increase of the axial angle of the left condyle and the frontal angle of both condyles, while there was a decrease of the axial angle of the right condyle, the sagittal angle of both condyles and intercondylar distance. Conclusions The CBCT is a useful method for assessing variations of condylar position in detail. It was verified that the critical movements of maxillary impaction associated with the mandibular advancement do not produce significant alterations in the mandibular condyles, however, these tend to perform a posterior and inferior movement.

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.

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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the condylar rotation is affected by asymmetric setback in patients undergoing sagittal split ramus osteotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty patients who underwent bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy setback surgery were divided into the two groups, symmetric setback and asymmetric setback, according to the right/left difference of setback amount (<2.0, ≥2.0 mm). Condylar long axis changes were evaluated using the three-dimensional superimposition of before and immediately after surgery cone-beam computed tomography volume images. Evaluations were performed separately in lesser setback and greater setback side in patients undergoing asymmetric setback, whereas both side condyles were evaluated together in patients undergoing symmetric setback. Condylar axis changes on axial view were correlated with setback amount or right/left setback difference using Pearson correlation analysis. RESULTS In general, the condylar axis change occurred in a pattern of inward rotation. The condyles in patients undergoing symmetric setback showed 3.4° rotation in average. In case of asymmetric setback, the lesser setback side showed larger value (4.3°) than the greater setback side (2.3°) with a statistical significance. In the correlation analysis, setback amount showed no significant correlation with the condylar axis changes in both groups. However, correlation with right/left setback difference showed a positive correlation in lesser setback side of patients undergoing asymmetric setback. CONCLUSION The findings of this study indicate that large amount of setback alone does not contribute to the change in condylar long axis, but asymmetric setback might cause a change in condylar long axis, particularly on the lesser setback side.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate horizontal changes of the proximal mandibular segment after mandibular setback surgery using 3-dimensional computed tomography (3-D CT). STUDY DESIGN This study included 66 patients who underwent bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy for correction of mandibular prognathism. With the use of 3-D CT data obtained preoperatively (T1), immediately postoperatively (T2), and 6 months postoperatively (T3), horizontal changes of the proximal mandibular segment, including the intercondylar width, the intergonial width, and the frontal-ramal inclination were evaluated. RESULTS The value of the right frontal-ramal inclination was 11.43 ± 1.36° at T1, 11.91 ± 1.96° at T2, and 10.7 ± 1.5° at T3. The values of the left frontal-ramal inclination were 6.10 ± 1.03° at T1, 8.17 ± 1.66° at T2, and 7.66 ± 1.65° at T3. The values of the intergonial width were 99.67 ± 1.67 mm at T1, 98.24 ± 1.72 mm at T2, and 97.08 ± 1.71 mm at T3. The intergonial width was significantly decreased at T3 compared with T1 (P < .001). The values of the intercondylar width were 123.51 ± 1.66 mm at T1, 123.9 ± 1.66 mm at T2, and 122.88 ± 1.58 mm at T3. CONCLUSIONS Lower facial width at mandibular angle region decreased immediately after mandibular setback surgery and showed further decreases during the postoperative period.

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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to elucidate the physiological position of the proximal segment for postoperative jaw movement in patients with mandibular prognathism. METHODS Twenty-two patients with mandibular prognathism were treated by orthognathic surgery using bilateral mandibular sagittal split ramus osteotomies (SSRO) with a physiological positioning strategy. The skeletal stability was assessed, and the movement of the proximal segment was evaluated by cephalography and computed tomography performed preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and one year postoperatively. RESULTS The patients were divided into two groups: the stable group (SNB relapse <1.5°) and the relapse group (SNB relapse ≥1.5°). In the stable group at one year postoperatively, the average SNB relapse was only 0.29° (7%), the condylar head had moved posteriorly by 0.75 mm, and the proximal segment had rotated counterclockwise by 1.2°. CONCLUSION This new physiological positioning strategy improves the position of the condyle compared with the preoperative position in patients with mandibular prognathism.

Changes in condylar position after BSSRO with and without Le Fort I osteotomy via surgery-first approach in mandibular prognathism with facial asymmetry. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol 2017; 123:661-669.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate changes in condylar position after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) with and without Le Fort I osteotomy via the surgery-first approach (SFA) in patients with facial asymmetry. STUDY DESIGN Eighteen patients (36 condyles) who received surgical-orthodontic treatment using the SFA were included and divided into 2 groups depending on the extent of surgery: BSSRO-only group (n = 12) and BSSRO with Le Fort I osteotomy group (n = 6). Using computed tomography images taken preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and 6 months postoperatively, surgical and postoperative changes of the condylar position were analyzed 3-dimensionally. RESULTS Both groups showed mainly inferolateral displacement with inward rotation immediately after surgery, and superomedial returning movement with outward rotation 6 months after surgery. There was no statistical difference in time-course changes of the condylar position between the 2 groups. In comparing the deviated and nondeviated sides, the deviated side showed significantly greater amount of bodily shift and rotational movement after surgery compared with the nondeviated side in both groups. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that BSSRO via the SFA, either with or without Le Fort I osteotomy, may cause condylar displacement after surgery and that the displaced condyles return to their original position on both the deviated and the nondeviated sides.

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).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate sequential images of the condylar position in relation to the glenoid fossa after orthognathic surgery in patients with facial asymmetry using cone beam computed tomography. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 20 adult patients (11 men and 9 women; mean age, 22.1 ± 4.02 years) with facial asymmetry who underwent sagittal split ramus osteotomy with rigid fixation were involved. Cone beam computed tomography scans were obtained before treatment (T0), 1 month before the surgery (T1), and 1 day (T2), 3 months (T3), 6 months (T4), and 12 months (T5) after the surgery. The condyle position was evaluated. RESULTS At 1 day after surgery (T2), the condylar position on both sides significantly changed posteriorly, inferiorly, and laterally, but no significant difference was observed between the nonaffected and affected sides. The condyle on the nonaffected side had a tendency to recover its preoperative position at 3 months after surgery (T3) and inclined slightly laterally up to 1 year after the surgery (T5). The condyle on the affected side returned more closely to the glenoid fossa than to its pretreatment position at 3 months after surgery (T3). Thereafter, it showed a more backward and downward position (T5). CONCLUSIONS The overall condylar position after an orthognathic surgery in patients with facial asymmetry was relatively stable at 1 year after surgery. However, the condyle on the affected side during the first 3 months after surgery should be carefully monitored for surgical stability.

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
OBJECTIVES Purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) position after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) of the mandible by the help of pre- and postoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. MATERIALS AND METHODS A collective of n = 78 patients was investigated between 2009 and 2011 before and after BSSO of the mandible in mono- or bimaxillary orthognathic surgery procedures. No intraoperative fixation of the condyles was administered. CBCT scans were performed in all patients before and immediately after surgery with the KaVo 3DeXam device in the position of terminal occlusion. Subsequently, all scans were analyzed by help of the eXam Vision program and the ImageJ image processing software. Alterations of the TMJs were quantified by determining pre- to postoperative differences of the intercondylar distance, the mandibular angle on both sides, and the condylar angles in the transversal plane. RESULTS The difference between pre- and postoperatively ascertained values was minimal (means: lateral condylar distance -0.17 mm; distance of condylar centers -0.32 mm; medial condylar distance -0.49 mm; left mandibular angle +1.06°; right mandibular angle +2.06°; condylar angles in relation to a reference line: left -2.93, right -0.75; angle of cutting +3.42). There is no apparent tendency toward a positional change in any of the 3 examined planes. Between bi- and monomaxillarily operated patients there was no difference either, except for the osteotomy plane. CONCLUSIONS A 3-dimensional analysis of CBCT data of the TMJ seems to be appropriate to determine the condylar position pre- and postoperatively. Performed by an experienced orthognathic surgeon, BSSO of the mandible does not effectuate any relevant changes of the TMJ-position, thus making an intraoperative condyle-fixation unnecessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was performed to evaluate three-dimensional positional change of the condyle using three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) following unilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (USSRO) in patients with mandibular prognathism. METHODS This study examined two patients exhibiting skeletal class III malocclusion with facial asymmetry who underwent USSRO for a mandibular setback. 3D-CT was performed before surgery, immediately after surgery, and 6 months postoperatively. After creating 3D-CT images by using the In-vivo 5™ program, the axial plane, coronal plane, and sagittal plane were configured. Three-dimensional positional changes from each plane to the condyle, axial condylar head axis angle (AHA), axial condylar head position (AHP), frontal condylar head axis angle (FHA), frontal condylar head position (FHP), sagittal condylar head axis angle (SHA), and sagittal condylar head position (SHP) of the two patients were measured before surgery, immediately after surgery, and 6 months postoperatively. RESULTS In the first patient, medial rotation of the operated condyle in AHA and anterior rotation in SHA were observed. There were no significant changes after surgery in AHP, FHP, and SHP after surgery. In the second patient, medial rotation of the operated condyle in AHA and lateral rotation of the operated condyle in FHA were observed. There were no significant changes in AHP, FHP, and SHP postoperatively. This indicates that in USSRO, postoperative movement of the condylar head is insignificant; however, medial rotation of the condylar head is possible. Although three-dimensional changes were observed, these were not clinically significant. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest that although three-dimensional changes in condylar head position are observed in patients post SSRO, there are no significant changes that would clinically affect the patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Repositioning of the jaw in orthognathic surgery must produce precise and stable long-term results; an effective and practical method of intraoperative condyle positioning is required to achieve this. Most traditional methods, such as manual positioning or positioning plates do not permit intraoperative monitoring of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) position. This study evaluates the results of intraoperative, sonographically-monitored joint positioning, comparing preoperative and postoperative MRI scans. PATIENTS AND METHODS Of the 97 patients who were originally assessed (53 female, average age 29 ± 10.93; and 44 male, average age 28 ± 9.25), 21 had incomplete data sets and were excluded, leaving 76 evaluable patients. MRIs were performed preoperatively between 2 days and 100 weeks (median 30.5 days), and postoperatively between 12 and 96 weeks (median 150 days). Condyle positioning, intercondylar distance, and disc degeneration and dislocation were compared in preoperative and postoperative MRIs, and differentiated by Angle class on horizontal, axial and sagittal scans. Condyle to fossa distances were measured on parasagittal images from 0° (the vertical sagittal plane), 45° anteriorly and 45° posteriorly. The intercondylar distances between the condylar head midpoints were measured on axial sections. Two-sided t-tests (α < 0.05) were used for comparisons within classes; the interclass correlation was performed using univariate ANOVA and linear correlation for paired sample correlation settings. RESULTS In 27 Angle class II cases, the anterior distance of both condyles increased on average 0.3 ± 1.0 mm, the posterior position decreased 0.1 ± 1.2 mm, and the vertical position decreased 0.2 ± 1.1 mm postoperatively. In 47 Angle class III cases the anterior distance of both condyles increased on average 0.3 ± 0.8 mm, the posterior 0.1 ± 0.8 mm and the vertical distance 0.1 ± 0.8 mm postoperatively. All alterations of the condyle-fossa relation were non-significant except for the anterior distance in Angle class ІІІ (p = 0.02). Alterations of the disc position and disc degeneration were non-significant in class II. In class ІІІ, the disc degeneration deteriorated slightly on the left side (p = 0.02). Intercondylar distance increased 1 ± 5.5 mm in class ІІ and decreased by 1 ± 5.5 mm in class ІІІ postoperatively, alterations were non-significant. CONCLUSION Sonography is a non-invasive, comfortable, fast, economical and effective intraoperative method of condyle positioning. The results of the present study support this statement because the degree of disc degeneration and luxation remained unaltered and the condyle position did not change significantly. Prospective randomized comparison to manual positioning is in preparation and will be conducted in the near future.

Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the condylar position in relation to the glenoid fossa before and after orthodontic-orthognathic surgical treatment and to investigate the relationship with skeletal relapse. Materials and Methods Lateral cephalograms and temporomandibular joint tomograms from 19 patients with mandibular prognathism who received orthodontic-orthognathic surgery were included in this study. Samples were divided into two groups based on skeletal change during the retention period. The relapse group consisted of 7 patients (3 females and 4 males; mean age, 21.9 years) whose pogonion or menton displaced more than 1 mm during the retention period and the stable group consisted of 12 patients (5 females and 7 males; mean age, 21.7 years). Anterior joint space, posterior joint space, superior joint space, and anteroposterior index were measured on tomograms at pretreatment and posttreatment timepoints. Condyle position and frequency of the positional change were compared between both groups. Results In the relapse group and stable group, 42.9% and 45.8% of the condyles, respectively, showed forward or backward displacement at posttreatment. However, the changes were small and the mean anterior, posterior, superior joint spaces and frequencies of the positional changes did not differ statistically between both groups. Conclusion Our results suggest that small positional changes of the condyle, which may occur after orthodontic-orthognathic surgery treatment, may not be related to skeletal relapse after removal of the orthodontic appliances.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the surgical relapse of mandibular setback, related to the magnitude of setback and LeFort I osteotomy under rotational control of the proximal segment. STUDY DESIGN Data from 78 patients who had undergone sagittal split ramus osteotomy for mandibular prognathism were reviewed. The stability of the proximal segment was retrospectively confirmed. Serial cephalograms were used to assess relapse over 1 year. The association between relapse and LeFort I osteotomy as well as the magnitude of setback was assessed. RESULTS Minimal counterclockwise rotation was noted postoperatively, but the proximal segment remained stable for 1 year. Notable forward relapse was shown in the setback of more than 7 mm (P < .01) with resumption of function after 6 weeks, but it was not related with LeFort I osteotomy. CONCLUSIONS Relapse was related to the amount of setback and occurred on resumption of function despite rotational control of the proximal segment.

Comparison of the condyle-fossa relationship between skeletal class III malocclusion patients with and without asymmetry: a retrospective three-dimensional cone-beam computed tomograpy study. Korean J Orthod 2013; 43:209-17. [PMID: 24228235 PMCID: PMC3822060 DOI: 10.4041/kjod.2013.43.5.209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2013] [Revised: 09/07/2013] [Accepted: 09/10/2013] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated whether temporomandibular joint (TMJ) condyle-fossa relationships are bilaterally symmetric in class III malocclusion patients with and without asymmetry and compared to those with normal occlusion. The hypothesis was a difference in condyle-fossa relationships exists in asymmetric patients. METHODS Group 1 comprised 40 Korean normal occlusion subjects. Groups 2 and 3 comprised patients diagnosed with skeletal class III malocclusion, who were grouped according to the presence of mandibular asymmetry: Group 2 included symmetric mandibles, while group 3 included asymmetric mandibles. Pretreatment three-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography (3D CBCT) images were obtained. Right- and left-sided TMJ spaces in groups 1 and 2 or deviated and non-deviated sides in group 3 were evaluated, and the axial condylar angle was compared. RESULTS The TMJ spaces demonstrated no significant bilateral differences in any group. Only group 3 had slightly narrower superior spaces (p < 0.001). The axial condylar angles between group 1 and 2 were not significant. However, group 3 showed a statistically significant bilateral difference (p < 0.001); toward the deviated side, the axial condylar angle was steeper. CONCLUSIONS Even in the asymmetric group, the TMJ spaces were similar between deviated and non-deviated sides, indicating a bilateral condyle-fossa relationship in patients with asymmetry that may be as symmetrical as that in patients with symmetry. However, the axial condylar angle had bilateral differences only in asymmetric groups. The mean TMJ space value and the bilateral difference may be used for evaluating condyle-fossa relationships with CBCT.
