Cha J, Park K, Ryu J, Jung S, Park HJ, Oh HK, Kook MS. Does mandible ramus height asymmetry affect postoperative skeletal stability in orthognathic surgery patients? Maxillofac Plast Reconstr Surg 2024; 46:32. [PMID: 39222303 PMCID: PMC11368883 DOI: 10.1186/s40902-024-00442-9] [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: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 08/20/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Relapses following orthognathic surgery have been reported to exceed 2% to 50%, depending on multiple factors. This study aimed to analyze the stability after orthognathic surgery in patients with mandibular ramus height asymmetry through 3D reconstruction using Cone-beam CT. METHODS This retrospective cohort study investigated patients who underwent mandibular setback surgery using bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy. Three-dimensional CT scans were taken at three different time points. Evaluation of the postoperative stability involved measuring changes in the x, y, and z axes as well as roll and yaw rotations of the mandible at specific landmarks (B point, mental foramen) on 3D CT scans obtained immediately after surgery and 6-12 months postoperatively. They were categorized into four groups based on bilateral mandibular height asymmetry through Asymmetry index (AI). The one-way ANOVA was implemented to compare the intergroup differences and Tukey's post hoc test was employed. Additionally, the Pearson correlation coefficient was also calculated. RESULTS A total of 24 patients were included in this study. The corresponding AI, representing the degree of asymmetry in both mandibles, were calculated as Group 1 was 1.25 ± 0.64%, Group 2 was 2.89 ± 0.47%, Group 3 was 5.03 ± 0.51%, and Group 4 was 9.40 ± 1.99%. The x-axis change in Group 4 was significantly larger at 1.71 mm compared to Group 1 at 0.64 mm. The mandibular roll, Group 4 showed a statistically significant increase at 1.33° compared to Group 1 at 0.35°. And there was a significant positive correlation observed between x-axis change and AI (p = 0.019), as well as between mandibular roll and AI (p = 0.025). CONCLUSION After orthognathic surgery, stability was influenced by numerous factors, with the findings of this study suggesting that the degree of ramus height asymmetry in the mandible can be considered one contributing factor.

Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024:S0901-5027(24)00100-0. [PMID: 38702201 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2024.04.006] [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: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the stability of the proximal mandibular reference structures that have been proposed in the literature for superimposition. Forty proximal mandibular segments of 20 patients who underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) for advancement were reconstructed from a pair of pre- and postoperative (2 years) cone beam computed tomography scans, and spatially divided into the mandibular condyle, the coronoid process, and 20 mandibular ramus regions. To assess the stability of the anatomical regions, the volumetric and surface discrepancy between the superimposed pre- and postoperative regions were calculated. One-sample t-tests were applied to analyse the statistical stability of the individual regions. Two statistically stable (P < 0.05) structures in the proximal segment of the mandible following BSSO were identified: (1) the posterior part of the mandibular ramus above the gonial angle and below the condylar neck, and (2) the sub-coronoid area below the coronoid process/mandibular notch. Using these stable structures for superimposition resulted in an assessment discrepancy in the condylar displacement of up to 1.1 mm and in the volumetric change of up to 2.8%. Hence, it is suggested that these two identified stable structures are used as reference areas when assessing condylar displacement and change using superimposition.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to propose and validate FAST3D: a fully automatic three-dimensional (3D) assessment of the surgical accuracy and the long-term skeletal stability of orthognathic surgery. To validate FAST3D, the agreement between FAST3D and a validated state-of-the-art semi-automatic method was calculated by intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) at a 95 % confidence interval. A one-sided hypothesis test was performed to evaluate whether the absolute discrepancy between the measurements produced by the two methods was statistically significantly below a clinically relevant error margin of 0.5 mm. Ten subjects (six male, four female; mean age 24.4 years), class II and III, who underwent a combined three-piece Le Fort I osteotomy, bilateral sagittal split osteotomy and genioplasty, were included in the validation study. The agreement between the two methods was excellent for all measurements, ICC range (0.85-1.00), and fair for the rotational stability of the chin, ICC = 0.54. The absolute discrepancy for all measurements was statistically significantly lower than the clinical relevant error margin (p < 0.008). Within the limitations of the present validation study, FAST3D demonstrated to be reliable and may be adopted whenever appropriate in order to reduce the work load of the medical staff.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore whether mandible-first sequencing increases the surgical accuracy in bimaxillary orthognathic surgery for patients with skeletal class II malocclusion concomitant with the unstable condyle-fossa relation. A retrospective evaluation of 19 patients who had undergone virtually planned double-splint orthognathic surgery with different operation sequences was performed: maxilla-first (n=9) or mandible-first (n=10) surgery. The centroid position, translational, and rotational differences in the maxilla were evaluated by comparing the virtual plans with actual results. The stability was assessed by comparing the actual results with the follow-up outcomes 6 months postoperatively. The accuracy of the maxilla centroid position was improved in mandible-first sequencing surgery: mandible-first 1.87±0.94 mm versus maxilla-first 2.70±0.75 mm (P<0.05). Moreover, no significant difference was detected in the translational and orientational discrepancies between the 2 groups. Neither sequencing procedure differed in the overall stability: maxilla-first (1.48±1.13 mm) versus mandible-first (1.57±0.90 mm). This study indicated that the mandible-first surgery leads to a more accurate maxilla position than the maxilla-first surgery for patients with skeletal class II malocclusion concomitant with the unstable condyle-fossa relation.

A Semi-Automatic Approach for Holistic 3D Assessment of Temporomandibular Joint Changes. J Pers Med 2023; 13:jpm13020343. [PMID: 36836577 PMCID: PMC9959062 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13020343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The literature lacks a reliable holistic approach for the three-dimensional (3D) assessment of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) including all three adaptive processes, which are believed to contribute to the position of the mandible: (1) adaptive condylar changes, (2) glenoid fossa changes, and (3) condylar positional changes within the fossa. Hence, the purpose of the present study was to propose and assess the reliability of a semi-automatic approach for a 3D assessment of the TMJ from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) following orthognathic surgery. The TMJs were 3D reconstructed from a pair of superimposed pre- and postoperative (two years) CBCT scans, and spatially divided into sub-regions. The changes in the TMJ were calculated and quantified by morphovolumetrical measurements. To evaluate the reliability, intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated at a 95% confidence interval on the measurements of two observers. The approach was deemed reliable if the ICC was good (>0.60). Pre- and postoperative CBCT scans of ten subjects (nine female; one male; mean age 25.6 years) with class II malocclusion and maxillomandibular retrognathia, who underwent bimaxillary surgery, were assessed. The inter-observer reliability of the measurements on the sample of the twenty TMJs was good to excellent, ICC range (0.71-1.00). The range of the mean absolute difference of the repeated inter-observer condylar volumetric and distance measurements, glenoid fossa surface distance measurements, and change in minimum joint space distance measurements were (1.68% (1.58)-5.01% (3.85)), (0.09 mm (0.12)-0.25 mm (0.46)), (0.05 mm (0.05)-0.08 mm (0.06)) and (0.12 mm (0.09)-0.19 mm (0.18)), respectively. The proposed semi-automatic approach demonstrated good to excellent reliability for the holistic 3D assessment of the TMJ including all three adaptive processes.

Abstract
This systematic review aimed to determine the accuracy/stability of patient-specific osteosynthesis (PSI) in orthognathic surgery according to three-dimensional (3D) outcome analysis and in comparison to conventional osteosynthesis and computer-aided designed and manufactured (CAD/CAM) splints or wafers. The PRISMA guidelines were followed and six academic databases and Google Scholar were searched. Records reporting 3D accuracy/stability measurements of bony segments fixated with PSI were included. Of 485 initial records, 21 met the eligibility (566 subjects), nine of which also qualified for a meta-analysis (164 subjects). Six studies had a high risk of bias (29%), and the rest were of low or moderate risk. Procedures comprised either single-piece or segmental Le Fort I and/or mandibular osteotomy and/or genioplasty. A stratified meta-analysis including 115 subjects with single-piece Le Fort I PSI showed that the largest absolute mean deviations were 0.5 mm antero-posteriorly and 0.65° in pitch. PSIs were up to 0.85 mm and 2.35° more accurate than conventional osteosynthesis with CAD/CAM splint or wafer (p < 0.0001). However, the clinical relevance of the improved accuracy has not been shown. The literature on PSI for multi-piece Le Fort I, mandibular osteotomies and genioplasty procedure is characterized by high methodological heterogeneity and a lack of randomized controlled trials. The literature is lacking on the 3D stability of bony segments fixated with PSI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It was the aim of the study to assess if computerized simulation and the use of thermoformed cage splints are useful to plan cases of complex craniofacial trauma. MATERIALS AND METHODS patients with fractures in any of the thirds of the craniofacial skeleton and occlusion impairment. Virtual surgical planning with digital reduction of fractures, navigated planning, thermoformed cage splints were used in all cases. Surgical outcomes were evaluated by computing the surface deviation and occlusograms between planned and postoperative models. RESULTS 13 patients were enrolled in this study. Accuracy of bone repositioning was evaluated compared with the surgical planning. For the mandible, mean Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) was of 1.67 with a standard deviation (SD) of ±0.75 mm (p < 0.001); for the maxilla, average RMSE was of 0.88 with SD of ±0.52 mm (p < 0.001); and for midfacial and upper third bone segments, average RMSE was of 0.59 with SD of ±0.47 mm (p < 0.001) CONCLUSIONS: Within the limitations of the study it seems that thermoformed cage splints might be a promising alternative to other well-established approaches for accurate occlusal restoration and can be fully integrated within the digital workflow.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate pharyngeal airway (PA) changes after bimaxillary surgery (BMS). Preoperative, immediate- and 5-year postoperative cone-beam computed tomography images of subjects who underwent BMS were assessed. The primary outcome variable was the PA volume. The secondary outcome variables were the retropalatal and oropharyngeal volumes, cross-sectional area, minimal hydraulic diameter, soft tissue, skeletal movements and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). A total of 50 patients were included, 33 female and 17 male, with a mean age of 26.5 years. A significant increase in the PA volume was seen immediately after surgery (40%), and this increase was still present at 5-year follow-up (34%) (P < 0.001). A linear mixed model regression analysis revealed that a mandibular advancement of ≥5 mm (P = 0.025) and every 1-mm upward movement of epiglottis (P = 0.016) was associated with a volume increase of the oropharyngeal compartment. Moreover, ≥5-mm upward movement of hyoid bone (P = 0.034) and every 1-mm increase in minimal hydraulic diameter (P < 0.001) correlated with an increase of the PA volume. A total of 30 subjects reported improvement in the SDB at 5-year follow-up. This study demonstrated that BMS led to an increase in PA dimensions in non-OSA patients, and these changes were still present at 5-year follow-up. BMS seemed to induce clinical improvement in SDB.

Accuracy of Segmented Le Fort I Osteotomy with Virtual Planning in Orthognathic Surgery Using Patient-Specific Implants: A Case Series. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11195495. [PMID: 36233363 PMCID: PMC9572233 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11195495] [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: 08/27/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: When maxillary transversal expansion is needed, two protocols of treatment can be used: a maxillary orthodontic expansion followed by a classical bimaxillary osteotomy or a bimaxillary osteotomy with maxillary segmentation. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of segmented Le Fort I osteotomy using computer-aided orthognathic surgery and patient-specific titanium plates in patients who underwent a bimaxillary osteotomy for occlusal trouble with maxillary transversal insufficiencies. Methods: A virtual simulation of a Le Fort I osteotomy with maxillary segmentation, a sagittal split ramus osteotomy, and genioplasty (if needed) was conducted on a preoperative three-dimensional (3D) model of each patient’s skull using ProPlan CMF 3.0 software (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). Computer-assisted osteotomy saw-and-drill guides and patient-specific implants (PSIs, titanium plates) were produced and used during the surgery. We chose to focus on the maxillary repositioning accuracy by comparing the preoperative virtual surgical planning and the postoperative 3D outcome skulls using surface superimpositions and 13 standard dental and bone landmarks. Errors between these preoperative and postoperative landmarks were calculated and compared to discover if segmental maxillary repositioning using PSIs was accurate enough to be safely used to treat transversal insufficiencies. Results: A total of 22 consecutive patients—15 females and 7 males, with a mean age of 27.4 years—who underwent bimaxillary computer-assisted orthognathic surgery with maxillary segmentation were enrolled in the study. All patients presented with occlusion trouble, 13 with Class III malocclusions (59%) and 9 (41%) with Class II malocclusions. A quantitative analysis revealed that, overall, the mean absolute discrepancies for the x-axis (transversal dimension), y-axis (anterior−posterior dimensions), and z-axis (vertical dimension) were 0.59 mm, 0.74 mm, and 0.56 mm, respectively. The total error rate of maxillary repositioning was 0.62 mm between the postoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and the preoperatively planned 3D skull. According to the literature, precision in maxilla repositioning is defined by an error rate (clinically relevant) at each landmark of <2 mm and a total error of <2 mm for each patient. Conclusions: A high degree of accuracy between the virtual plan and the postoperative result was observed.

Abstract
This retrospective cohort study compares the virtual planned and postoperative jaw positions in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery. Surgery was virtually planned with the Digital Münster Model Surgery system (DMMS). Primary outcome: Spatial difference in the maxillo-mandibulo relation between virtual planning and postoperative result. Secondary outcome: Possible relationship between the measured differences and surgical movements as well as the postoperative stability according to Proffit. Ninety female and sixty-one male patients were included in the study. The average translation errors were 0.54 ± 0.50 mm (anteroposterior), 0.37 ± 0.33 mm (mediolateral), and 0.33 ± 0.28 mm (superoinferior). Orientation errors were 0.86 ± 0.79 degrees (yaw), 0.54 ± 0.48 degrees (roll), and 0.90 ± 0.72 degrees (pitch). The surgical procedures do not differ with respect to their error sizes. Maxilla forward and class II maxilla up with mandible forward are the most precise procedures. Most significant differences were found in the anteroposterior direction, whereby the extent of the surgical movement has no effect on the magnitude of the error. The process of planning with the DMMS followed by surgery is highly accurate and shows error values well below the clinically accepted limit of two millimeters in translation and four degrees in rotation.
