Do Surgical Intervention Type and Baseline Condylar Position Affect Spatial Dimension Changes of the Temporomandibular Joint in the Surgical Correction of Skeletal Class II Deformities? J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024; 82:931-943. [PMID: 38750659 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2024.04.016] [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: 07/30/2023] [Revised: 03/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the key features of orthognathic surgery is altering temporomandibular joint (TMJ) condylar positions. PURPOSE This multivariate study aimed to identify surgical interventions and patient factors significantly associated with changes in TMJ spatial dimensions after the surgical correction of skeletal Class II deformities. STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, SAMPLE This is a retrospective cohort study including patients who had undergone an isolated bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSO) or a bimaxillary osteotomy (BMO) for mandibular advancement and a control sample of patients treated with the removal of odontogenic cysts in the mandibular posterior region. Excluded were those who presented with specific radiographic signs of TMJ osteoarthrosis, severe facial asymmetry, or deformity secondary to trauma. PREDICTOR/EXPOSURE/INDEPENDENT VARIABLE The primary predictors were condylar position at baseline (anterior, concentric, and posterior), time points (T0, preoperatively; T1, immediately after surgery; and T2, 1-year follow-up), and surgical intervention type (BSSO, BMO, and control group). MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLES The primary outcomes were changes in posterior spatial dimension (PSD), superior spatial dimension, and medial spatial dimension assessed by cone-beam computed tomography preoperatively, immediately after surgery, and at 1-year follow-up. COVARIATES Covariates included sex, age, and amount of mandibular advancement. ANALYSES Estimations of independent effects of primary predictors on outcome variables were made by applying generalized estimation equation models. The value of statistical significance was P < .05. RESULTS The study sample included 88 participants. The BSSO samples included 39 patients, and the BMO group included 22 patients; the control group comprised 27 subjects. The average age was 31.2 years; the majority were female (61.4%). Adjusted generalized estimation equation models yielded a significant time interaction between BSSO and spatial dimensions over time (PSD, P < .001). Key predictors of spatial dimension changes were the baseline posterior (PSD, P < .001) and the central condylar position (PSD, P < .001). CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE This controlled study, for the first time, provides scientific evidence on the effects of surgical intervention type and baseline condylar position on spatial dimension changes in the TMJ. It shows a more favorable outcome in long-term spatial dimension changes for patients treated by a BMO procedure.

Evaluating changes in the condylar head after orthognathic surgery with or without articular disc repositioning: a systematic review. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024; 62:340-348. [PMID: 38521741 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjoms.2024.01.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 03/25/2024]
Abstract
Failures in orthognathic surgery are associated with different factors, including those related to untreated or undiagnosed preoperative temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. This systematic review aimed to assess potential alterations in the condylar head following orthognathic surgery. A systematic search for randomised controlled trials and retrospective studies was performed. For inclusion in the review, studies had to meet the following eligibility criteria according to the PICO framework: Patients: patients with orthognathic deformity and temporomandibular dysfunction (or temporomandibular osteoarthritis); Intervention: patients submitted to orthognathic surgery concomitantly with TMJ disjunction; Control: patients undergoing only orthognathic surgery with or without presurgical data; and Outcome: changes in temporomandibular joint position and volume. Nine studies met all the inclusion criteria and were selected for qualitative analysis. The results of this review show that simultaneous articular disc repositioning and orthognathic surgery provide better results in patients with preoperatively diagnosed condylar osteoarthritic changes. In conclusion, condylar remodelling (resorption/deposition) and its extent are determined by the direction of condylar displacement during surgery. Other factors such as age are also associated with the development of condylar resorption.

Abstract
This study evaluated the feasibility of simultaneous temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy and orthognathic surgery as a new treatment strategy for anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADDwoR) patients with severe jaw deformities. Twelve ADDwoR patients with facial deformities who underwent arthroscopy and orthognathic surgery between September 2015 and December 2019 were retrospectively evaluated. Pre- and postoperative maximum incisal opening (MIO) and joint pain were recorded. Computed tomography (CT) and three-dimensional cephalometric analysis were performed at 3 (T1) and ≥6 (T2) months postoperatively. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the TMJ was performed before, ≤7 days after and ≥6 months after surgery. The lateral profile radiological findings, the symmetry of the maxilla and mandible, and the MRI measurements were compared. Anterior disc displacement did not recur, and the maximum incisal opening (MIO) increased from 27.4 mm to 32.7 mm after surgery (p < 0.05). No significant differences were found in the lateral profile, symmetry indices or condylar height via MRI between T1 and T2. Joint morphology and the position of both the maxilla and mandible remained stable during postoperative follow-up, while joint symptoms were markedly relieved and facial appearance was noticeably improved. Combined arthroscopy and orthognathic surgery is effective and recommended for ADDwoR patients with jaw deformities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To model the effect of isolated bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) on changes in posterior (PSD), superior (SSD), and medial space dimensions (MSD) of the temporomandibular joint. METHODS Using a retrospective cohort study design, pre- and postoperative (immediately after surgery; 1 year follow-up) cone-beam computed tomography measurements of 36 patients who had undergone BSSO for mandibular advancement were compared with a control group of 25 subjects from whom a mandibular odontogenic cyst was removed under general anesthesia. Generalized estimation equation (GEE) models were used to examine the independent effects of study group, preoperative condylar position, and time points on PSD, SSD, and MSD adjusting for covariates (age, sex, and mandibular advancement). RESULTS No significant differences were found regarding changes in PSD (p = 0.144), SSD (p = 0.607), or MSD (p = 0.565) between the BSSO and control groups. However, the preoperative posterior condylar position showed significant effects on PSD (p < 0.001) and MSD (p = 0.043), while the preoperative central condylar position demonstrated a significant effect on PSD (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The data suggest that preoperative posterior condylar position is a significant effect modifier of PSD and MSD over time in this cohort.

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.

Long-term three-dimensional condylar remodeling during presurgical orthodontics and after orthognathic surgery of mandibular retrognathia with high mandibular plane angle. Clin Oral Investig 2022; 26:7253-7263.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with high mandibular plane facial morphology are the most dominant facial type who experience TMJ abnormalities with resultant condylar resorption, affecting the orthodontic and orthognathic treatment outcomes. The study aimed to quantitatively assess the three-dimensional condylar remodeling during the presurgical orthodontics and after orthognathic surgery of the retrognathic mandible with a high mandibular plane angle. The study also investigated the correlation between the resultant remodeling based on the hypothesis that condylar resorption following orthognathic surgery is a part of a progressive presurgical resorption process. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included adults with mandibular retrognathism and high mandibular plane angle who have computed tomography scans (CT) obtained before any treatment (T0), after completion of presurgical treatment before surgery (T1), and at long-term follow-up after surgery (T2). DICOM of CT scan was gathered and processed using ITK-SNAP and 3D Slicer software. The interval between T0 and T1 was represented as a presurgical phase, while between T1 and T2 was defined as a postsurgical phase (T1-T2). RESULTS Twenty-five patients (50 condyles) were included with a mean age of 23 ± 3.2 years. The mean of the follow-up during the presurgical phase was 19.8 ± 7.1 months and 15.5 ± 5.5 months during the postsurgical phase. The condylar volume during the presurgical phase (T0-T1) was relatively stable (- 3.3 ± 37.2mm3). However, during the postsurgical phase (T1-T2), the volume was significantly reduced - 113.8 ± 98.3mm3 (P < 0.001). Localized condylar surface resorption during the postsurgical phase was significantly higher than during the presurgical phase (P < 0.05). No correlation was found between the localized condylar surface remodeling during the presurgical and postsurgical phases. However, a negative statistically significant correlation existed between the overall condylar volume changes during the presurgical and postsurgical phases (r = 0.502, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Significant condylar resorption following orthognathic surgery of the retrognathic mandible with a high mandibular plane angle might occur regardless of the presurgical status of the condyle. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The study provided an evidence to be discussed with the patients and considered throughout the treatment of mandibular retrognathia with high mandibular plane angle.

Abstract
Background Disc repositioning by Mitek anchors for anterior disc displacement (ADD) combined with orthognathic surgery gained more stable results than when disc repositioning was not performed. But for hypoplastic condyles, the implantation of Mitek anchors may cause condylar resorption. A new disc repositioning technique that sutures the disc to the posterior articular capsule through open incision avoids the implantation of the metal equipment, but the stability when combined with orthognathic surgery is unknown. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stability of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc repositioning by open suturing in patients with hypoplastic condyles when combined with orthographic surgery. Methods Patients with ADD and jaw deformity from 2017 to 2021 were included. Disc repositioning by either open suturing or mini-screw anchor were performed simultaneously with orthognathic surgery. MRI and CT images before and after operation and at least 6 months follow-ups were taken to evaluate and compare the TMJ disc and jaw stability. ProPlan CMF 1.4 software was used to measure the position of the jaw, condyle and its surface bone changes. Results Seventeen patients with 20 hypoplastic condyles were included in the study. Among them, 12 joints had disc repositioning by open suturing and 8 by mini-screw anchor. After an average follow-up of 18.1 months, both the TMJ disc and jaw position were stable in the 2 groups except 2 discs moved anteriorly in each group. The overall condylar bone resorption was 8.3% in the open suturing group and 12.5% in the mini-screw anchor group. Conclusions Disc repositioning by open suturing can achieve both TMJ and jaw stability for hypoplastic condyles when combined with orthognathic surgery.

Abstract
The repositioning of bone segments during orthognathic surgeries often results in mandibular condyle positional changes and can also affect jaw muscles, soft tissues and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Condylar displacements are considered as one of the factors of bone remodeling and further skeletal relapse. The quantitative approach is commonly used in comparative analyses and evaluations of the relationships between examined factors. The aim of this study is the overview of the current literature including quantitative analysis in the research of mandibular condyle positional changes as a consequence of orthognathic surgeries. Thirty articles were included in the overview. Most of the articles present a comparative and evaluative analysis of treatment results concerning different surgical approaches, fixation methods or types of skeletal defects. The correlation between condylar displacements and bone remodeling, skeletal relapse and TMJ dysfunctions were considered. The most frequently repeated study variables were: short-term changes, Class III malocclusion, yaw rotation, 3D cephalometry measurements. Quantitative data might be useful in the evaluation of patterns and range of condylar displacements for specific treatment conditions. Available literature concerning the analysed topic is characterized by great heterogeneity with regards to the purpose and methodologies of the studies. More systematic approaches and long-term considerations are needed in future research.

Abstract
PURPOSE We evaluated the stability of orthognathic surgery in the treatment of unilateral condylar osteochondroma combined with jaw deformity. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with unilateral condylar osteochondroma and jaw deviation deformity who had undergone surgery at the Ninth People's Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from July 2014 to March 2017 were enrolled. The operation included a low condylectomy and both Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral mandibular sagittal split osteotomies. ProPlan CMF, version 1.4, software (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium) was used to reconstruct and measure the preoperative, immediately postoperative, and follow-up (>6 months) maxillofacial computed tomography images. The position of the jaw and contralateral condyle and remodeling of the affected side were compared during follow-up. RESULTS Eight patients were included in the present study. The canting of the maxilla was significantly decreased postoperatively, and the contralateral condyle had rotated inward. The position of the maxillary and contralateral condyles was stable during follow-up, and the posterior aspect of the affected condyle demonstrated significant resorption. CONCLUSIONS The results of single-stage surgery combined with orthognathic surgery and condylar osteochondroma resection were stable, and the affected condyle stump had adaptively reconstructed.

Evaluation of the postoperative stability of a counter-clockwise rotation technique for skeletal class II patients by using a novel three- dimensional position-posture method. Sci Rep 2019; 9:13196.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the postsurgical stability of skeletal class II patients after performing a counter-clockwise rotational (CCWR) procedure for the maxilla-mandibular complex (MMC) by using a novel Three-dimensional (3D) Position-Posture(P-P) measuring method. Twenty-five patients (5 males and 20 females) were included in this study. The postoperative CT scans of the skull were taken before surgery(T0), 3-7 days (T1), 3 months (T2), and 6 months (T3) after surgery. Specific anatomic landmarks were chosen to determine the position of the segments, while three equally perpendicular planes were created to describe their posture. The results show that the linear relapse of maxillary landmarks during the follow-up were acceptable (≤0.5 mm). The relapse of maxillary pitch plane at 6-months follow-up is 1.52°, which is acceptable. There was a significant pitch plane relapse of the mandibular-body segment with an average of 1.86° between T1 and T2 models, 3.28° between T1 and T3 models. There was no significant difference between roll and yaw planes during the follow-up. We therefore conclude that the P-P method could be used to accurately analyze the postsurgical stability of skeletal class II orthognathic surgery cases. For CCWR procedures, it was also shown that the there is a tendency for recurrence most specially on the body of the mandible.
