An automated method for assessing condyle head changes in patients with skeletal class II malocclusion based on Cone-beam CT images. Dentomaxillofac Radiol 2024; 53:325-335. [PMID: 38696751 PMCID: PMC11211682 DOI: 10.1093/dmfr/twae017] [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: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Currently, there is no reliable automated measurement method to study the changes in the condylar process after orthognathic surgery. Therefore, this study proposes an automated method to measure condylar changes in patients with skeletal class II malocclusion following surgical-orthodontic treatment. METHODS Cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans from 48 patients were segmented using the nnU-Net network for automated maxillary and mandibular delineation. Regions unaffected by orthognathic surgery were selectively cropped. Automated registration yielded condylar displacement and volume calculations, each repeated three times for precision. Logistic regression and linear regression were used to analyse the correlation between condylar position changes at different time points. RESULTS The Dice score for the automated segmentation of the condyle was 0.971. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for all repeated measurements ranged from 0.93 to 1.00. The results of the automated measurement showed that 83.33% of patients exhibited condylar resorption occurring six months or more after surgery. Logistic regression and linear regression indicated a positive correlation between counterclockwise rotation in the pitch plane and condylar resorption (P < .01). And a positive correlation between the rotational angles in both three planes and changes in the condylar volume at six months after surgery (P ≤ .04). CONCLUSIONS This study's automated method for measuring condylar changes shows excellent repeatability. Skeletal class II malocclusion patients may experience condylar resorption after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery, and this is correlated with counterclockwise rotation in the sagittal plane. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE This study proposes an innovative multi-step registration method based on CBCT, and establishes an automated approach for quantitatively measuring condyle changes post-orthognathic surgery. This method opens up new possibilities for studying condylar morphology.

Does adjunctive fixation in conjunction with miniplate affect condylar position and morphology after mandibular advancement through bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy? A retrospective 3-dimensional CT comparative study. J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2024; 52:778-785. [PMID: 38627189 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2024.03.036] [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: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024] Open
Abstract
To minimize condylar positional and morphological changes after mandibular advancement through bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO), surgeons add either a bicortical screw or a two-hole plate distal to the conventional single miniplate. Since there have been no previous studies investigating the effect of this combination, our study aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of these adjunctive fixation methods (AFM) on condylar positional and morphological changes after mandibular advancement through BSSRO. This retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients with retruded mandibles who were treated in the Department of Orthognathic and TMJ Surgery at West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University. The patients were divided into two groups based on the primary predictor variable, which was the addition of AFM - either a single bicortical screw or a two-hole plate in addition to the single miniplate. The primary outcome variable was the condylar positional and morphological changes after mandibular advancement through BSSRO. Three-dimensional facial CT scans were obtained at three different time points (preoperatively - T0, 1 week postoperatively - T1, and 1 year postoperatively - T2) and analyzed using ITK-SNAP, 3D Slicer, and SlicerSALT software. Intergroup comparisons were conducted with an independent t-test, with a p-value of <0.05 considered significant. Correlations between the variables were estimated by Pearson correlation. The study comprised 51 patients (32 females, 19 males; mean age 25.13 ± 4.24 years), involving a total of 81 condyles (21 unilateral and 60 bilateral). There was a significant difference in long-term condylar displacement in favor of AFM along with a single miniplate (p < 0.001). The bicortical screw group recorded less condylar displacement than the two-hole plate group horizontally (0.11 mm vs 0.22 mm) and sagittally (0.03 mm vs 0.17 mm), but more vertically (0.85 mm vs 0.03 mm). Bone formation associated with AFM occurred on all condylar surfaces, compared with only three surfaces in the single miniplate group. The adjunctive method in addition to the single miniplate fixation method showed less condylar displacement and more bone apposition after mandibular advancement through BSSRO. The follow-up duration variable was the only significant determinant for volumetric changes in the condyle.

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
This report describes the treatment of severe skeletal Class II malocclusion in a young woman with a gummy smile and pronounced lower anterior facial height. Overjet and overbite were +12.0 mm and -1.0 mm, respectively. Cephalometric analysis revealed inferior positioning of the maxilla and severe mandibular retrusion with clockwise rotation. Both the upper and lower anterior teeth showed labial inclination. Based on a diagnosis of a skeletal Class II high angle with mandibular retrusion and a gummy smile, double-jaw orthognathic surgeries for upper and lower premolar extraction were chosen to gain ideal occlusion and an improvement in the esthetic facial profile. Le Fort I osteotomy was performed to move the anterior and posterior teeth upward by 4.0 mm and achieve mandibular counterclockwise rotation. Short lingual sagittal split ramus osteotomy was performed to move the mandible forward by 3.0 mm. As a result, normal overjet and overbite were achieved together with a straight profile and a good smile. After surgery, electromyographic evaluation of anterior temporal muscle activity showed an improvement in the percentage overlapping coefficient value (a symmetric index of bilateral muscle activity) from 28.1% to 63.2% compared to at pre-treatment. The pattern of jaw movement also showed an improvement. These results suggest that orthognathic surgery in skeletal Class II cases can improve not only malocclusion and the skeletal relationship of the jaws, but also masticatory function and jaw movement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study was to validate and compare the accuracy and reliability of surface- and voxel-based registration on the mandibular rami for long-term three-dimensional (3D) evaluation of condylar remodelling following Orthognathic Surgery. METHODS The mandible was 3D reconstructed from a pair of superimposed pre- and postoperative (two years) cone-beam computerized tomography scans and divided into the condyle, and 21 ramal regions. The accuracy of surface- and voxel-based registration was measured by the absolute mean surface distance of each region after alignment of the pre- and postoperative rami. To evaluate the reliability, mean absolute differences and intra class correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated at a 95% confidence interval on volumetric and surface distance measurements of two observers. Paired t-tests were applied to statistically evaluate whether the accuracy and reliability of surface- and voxel-based registration were significantly different (p < 0.05). RESULTS A total of twenty subjects (sixteen female; four male; mean age 27.6 years) with class II malocclusion and maxillomandibular retrognathia, who underwent bimaxillary surgery, were included. Surface-based registration was more accurate and reliable than voxel-based registration on the mandibular ramus two years post-surgery (p < 0.05). The inter observer reliability of using surface-based registration was excellent, ICC range [0.82-1.00]. For voxel-based registration, the inter observer reliability ranged from poor to excellent [0.00-0.98]. The measurement error introduced by applying surface-based registration for assessment of condylar remodelling was considered clinical irrelevant (1.83% and 0.18 mm), while the measurement error introduced by voxel-based registration was considered clinical relevant (5.44% and 0.52 mm). CONCLUSIONS Surface-based registration was proven more accurate and reliable compared to voxel-based registration on the mandibular ramus for long-term 3D assessment of condylar remodelling following Orthognathic Surgery. However, importantly, the performance difference may be caused by an inappropriate reference structure, proposed in the literature, and applied in this study.

Abstract
The aim of this systematic review was (i) to determine the role of muscular traction in the occurrence of skeletal relapse after advancement BSSO and (ii) to investigate the effect of advancement BSSO on the perimandibular muscles. This systematic review reports in accordance with the recommendations proposed by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Electronic database searches were performed in the databases MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Library. Inclusion criteria were as follows: assessment of relapse after advancement BSSO; assessment of morphological and functional change of the muscles after advancement BSSO; and clinical studies on human subjects. Exclusion criteria were as follows: surgery other than advancement BSSO; studies in which muscle activity/traction was not investigated; and case reports with a sample of five cases or fewer, review articles, meta‐analyses, letters, congress abstracts or commentaries. Of the initial 1006 unique articles, 11 studies were finally included. In four studies, an intervention involving the musculature was performed with subsequent assessment of skeletal relapse. The changes in the morphological and functional properties of the muscles after BSSO were studied in seven studies. The findings of this review demonstrate that the perimandibular musculature plays a role in skeletal relapse after advancement BSSO and may serve as a target for preventive strategies to reduce this complication. However, further research is necessary to (i) develop a better understanding of the role of each muscle group, (ii) to develop new therapeutic strategies and (iii) to define criteria that allow identification of patients at risk.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to perform a three-dimensional evaluation of the skeletal relapse of the proximal and distal mandibular segments following isolated bilateral sagittal split osteotomy advancement surgery. One hundred consecutive patients (mean age 25.8±11.7 years), comprising 65 female patients (mean age 26.4±12.1 years) and 35 male patients (mean age 24.6±11.0 years) requiring mandibular advancement without genioplasty, were enrolled prospectively in the study. Cone beam computed tomography scans were acquired for each patient at three time-points: preoperatively, immediately (1-6 weeks) after surgery, and 1 year after surgery. A validated tool was utilized to assess the surgical movement and relapse. Based on percentage, the majority of the distal and proximal translational and rotational movements relapsed within the range of ≤2mm and ≤2°. The distal segment revealed a significant relapse in a posterior, inferior, and clockwise pitch direction. Both left and right proximal segments showed a significant translational relapse in the medial, posterior, and superior direction. Amongst the rotational parameters, proximal segments relapsed significantly in clockwise pitch, clockwise roll, and counterclockwise yaw direction. Overall, both distal and proximal bone segments showed a clinically acceptable translational and rotational stability. The proximal segments torqued towards their original position with a reduction of flaring.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study evaluated whether presurgical characteristics, the magnitude of mandibular advancement, and changes in mandibular plane angle are correlated with long-term stability and postsurgical condylar remodeling and adaptations using 3-dimensional imaging. METHODS Forty-two patients underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomies for mandibular advancement using rigid fixation. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were acquired before surgery (T1), immediately after surgery (T2), and at long-term follow-up (T3). The average follow-up period was 5.3 ± 1.7 years after surgery. Anatomic landmark identification on the cone-beam computed tomographies and subsequent quantification of the changes from T1 to T2 and T2 to T3 were performed in ITK-SNAP (version 2.4; itksnap.org) and 3DSlicer (version 4.7; http://www.slicer.org) software. Surgical displacements, mandibular plane angle changes, and skeletal stability were measured relative to cranial base superimposition, whereas condylar remodeling was measured relative to regional condylar registration. Partial correlation coefficients were used to assess relationships between clinical and surgical variables, condylar remodeling, and long-term surgical relapse while controlling for variability in the length of follow-up. RESULTS B-point relapsed more than 2 mm posteriorly in 55% of the patients. The only variables strongly associated with the posterior movement of B-point long-term were mesial yaw of the condyle during surgery (P ≤0.01) and the length of follow-up from T2 to T3 (P ≤ 0.01). There was no relationship between the magnitude of advancement or presurgical mandibular plane angle and relapse or condylar resorption. Condylar resorption was strongly associated with relapse of B-point in the posterior direction (P ≤0.01) and clockwise rotation of the mandibular plane long-term (P ≤0.01). Twenty-nine percent of subjects showed resorption of more than 2 mm in the inferior direction at the lateral pole, and 17% of the subjects showed resorption of more than 2 mm in the inferior direction at condylion. Compared with male subjects, females exhibited significantly greater condylar remodeling (P ≤0.01) and slightly greater relapse at B-point (P ≤0.05). CONCLUSIONS Surgical relapse at B-point may occur slowly over time and is primarily due to condylar resorption in mandibular advancement patients. Mesial yaw of the condyle during surgery may lead to condylar resorption postsurgically. In addition, females are at greater risk of condylar resorption postsurgically.

Differences of condylar changes after orthognathic surgery among Class II and Class III patients. J Formos Med Assoc 2021; 121:98-107. [PMID: 33583702 DOI: 10.1016/j.jfma.2021.01.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2020] [Revised: 12/29/2020] [Accepted: 01/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
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
This report describes a patient with severe high angle class II malocclusion and mandibular retrusion in whom surgical orthodontic treatment to prevent an increase in ramus height resulted in a significant improvement in esthetics and long-term stability. The patient was a woman aged 30 years 5 months who presented with the chief complaint of maxillary protrusion. She had a convex facial type, a chin button on lip sealing, and a gummy smile. Cephalometric analysis revealed a normal maxilla anterior-posterior position, but significant mandibular retrusion with pronounced clockwise rotation. The anterior maxillary tooth axis was standard, but labially inclined in the mandible. Based on these findings, the diagnosis was skeletal class II high angle malocclusion and mandibular retrusion. The proposed treatment plan comprised 2-jaw surgery with premolar extraction. Le Fort I osteotomy, in particular, was planned in the maxilla to move the ANS upward by 3.0 mm and the PNS downward by 3.0 mm. Sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) was planned to adjust the mandible and move the mandible forward by 10.0 mm. To prevent postoperative relapse, the short lingual split method was used in performing the SSRO. The mandible was split to minimize stretching of the median pterygoid muscle. Postoperatively, the ANS, PNS, and pogonion showed movement of 2.0 mm upward, 3.0 mm downward, and 8.0 mm forward, respectively. Additionally, lip closure was now natural, and the gummy smile had markedly improved. At 6 years postoperatively, there has been no change skeletally or dentally. Follow-up is being continued to monitor further progress.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of preoperative condylar condition for mandible retrognathism deformities with severe temporomandibular joint osteoarthrosis on the stability of the jaw after orthognathic surgery and on the postoperative condylar volume changes. METHODS In this retrospective study, from 2014 to 2019, 37 patients including 1 male and 36 female, aged between 21 to 34 years old with an average age of (28.03±6.52) years, were diagnosed with mandible retrognathism deformities with severe temporomandibular joint osteoarthrosis by Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology and received orthognathic surgery, meeting the inclusion criteria were included. According to the preoperative condylar condition. There were divided into smooth group and non-smooth group, the lateral cephalometric films 1 week (T0), 3 months (T1), 6 months (T2) and 1 year (T3) after surgery were used to establish the coordinate system and cephalometric analysis to determine the stability of the jaw after operation. The three-dimensional model of the condyle was segmented by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) 1 week (T0), 3 months (T1), 6 months (T2) and 1 year (T3) after surgery and the volume was obtained to evaluate the change of the condyle volume after surgery. CBCT image data was used to evaluate the changes of the condylar condition after surgery, and to clarify the correlation between the postoperative condylar condition and jaw stability. SPSS 20.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis, Fisher's exact probability methods were used to compare whether there were statistically significant differences in the stability of the mandibular joint at stages T1, T2 and T3 with different preoperative condylar condition.Spearman correlation coefficient analysis and Mann-Whitney test were used to compare whether there were statistically significant differences in the volume changes at stages T1, T2 and T3 after surgery between the two groups. RESULTS The recurrence rates of the mandible in the condylar smooth group were T1 36.85%, T2 47.37% and T3 42.11%, respectively. The recurrence rates in the non-smooth condylar group were T1 27.78%, T2 44.44% and T3 55.56%, respectively. There was no statistical difference in the recurrence rates between the two groups at different time points. There was no significant difference in the condylar volume change between smooth group and non-smooth group. CONCLUSION For patients with mandible retrognathism deformities with severe temporomandibular joint osteoarthrosis and no significant changes in the condyle observed for one year before surgery, there is no difference in the influence of the preoperative condylar condition on the stability of jaw after operation, and no definite influence on the volume of the condyle after operation. Condylar resorption 3 months after surgery can cause instability of the jaw after orthognathic surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Three-dimensional models of mandibular condyles provide a way for condylar remodeling follow-up. The overall aim was to develop and validate a user-friendly workflow for cone beam CT (CBCT)-based semi-automatic condylar registration and segmentation. METHODS A rigid voxel-based registration (VBR) technique for registration of two post-operative CBCT-scans was tested. Two modified mandibular rami, with or without gonial angle, were investigated as the volume of interest for registration. Inter- and intraoperator reproducibility of this technique was tested on 10 mandibular rami of orthognathic patients by means of intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC's) and descriptive statistics of the transformation values from the VBR. The difference in reproducibility between the two modified rami was evaluated using a paired t-test (p < 0.05). For the segmentation, eight fresh frozen cadaver heads were scanned with CBCT and micro-CT. These data were used to test the inter- and intraoperator reproducibility (ICC's) and accuracy (Bland-Altman plot) of a newly designed workflow based on semi-automated contour enhancement. RESULTS Excellent ICC's (0.94-0.99) were obtained for the voxel-based registration technique using both modified rami. If the gonial angle was not included in the volume of interest, there was a trend of increased operator error suggested by significant higher interoperator differences in translation values (p = 0,0036). The segmentation workflow proved to be highly reproducible with excellent ICC's (0.99), low absolute mean volume differences between operators (23.19 mm3), within operators (28.93 mm3) and low surface distances between models of different operators (<0.20 mm). Regarding the accuracy, CBCT-models slightly overestimate the condylar volume compared to micro-CT. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a validated user-friendly and reproducible method of creating three-dimensional-surface models of mandibular condyles out of longitudinal CBCT-scans.

J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2019; 78:455-466. [PMID: 31629758 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2019.09.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2019] [Revised: 09/16/2019] [Accepted: 09/16/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study sought to answer the following question: Do patients with different mandibular plane angles (MPAs) have a different time to relapse after mandibular advancement with bilateral sagittal split osteotomy? MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomy advancement at Massachusetts General Hospital between 2005 and 2017. The primary predictor variable was MPA, categorized as low (<25°), medium (between 25° and 35°), or high (>35°). The outcome variable was time to relapse (≥2-mm posterior change at the B point). Other covariates included gender, age, temporomandibular joint symptoms, bimaxillary surgery, direction of mandibular rotation, magnitude of advancement, genioplasty, and fixation method. Time to relapse was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox and parametric regressions for interval-censored data were performed. P < .05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The sample was composed of 58 patients (40 female patients), with a mean age of 26.1 ± 4.9 years, grouped as follows: low MPA, n = 15; medium MPA, n = 26; and high MPA, n = 17. Clinically significant relapse was found in 18 patients (31%). Age, temporomandibular joint symptoms, counterclockwise rotation, and magnitude of advancement were statistically significantly different among the 3 groups. When we assessed time to relapse, the Kaplan-Meier method showed that high-MPA patients had a longer mean time at risk and higher estimated probabilities of relapse at different time points compared with low- and medium-MPA patients (P < .05). However, this association was not significant in Cox and parametric regressions. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that clinically significant relapse was found during the first postoperative year in low-MPA patients and from 2 to 5 years postoperatively in high-MPA patients. Multivariate regression analyses did not show a significant association between MPA and time to relapse, suggesting that other covariates may play a role in the observed time to relapse.

The Biomechanical Effect of the Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy on the Temporomandibular Joint: Current Perspectives on the Remodeling Spectrum. Front Physiol 2019; 10:1021.

Abstract
The sagittal split ramus osteotomy is a key approach for treating dentofacial deformities. Although it delivers excellent results, the sagittal split ramus osteotomy is believed to induce stress to the temporomandibular joint. Potential stress inducers could be classified as intra- and postoperative factors resulting in an inflammatory response and molecular cascades, which initiate physiological remodeling. Occasionally, this process exceeds its capacity and causes pathological remodeling, through either degenerative joint disease or condylar resorption. Hard evidence on how orthognathic surgery causes inflammation and how this inflammation is linked to the spectrum of remodeling remains scarce. Current concepts on this matter are mainly based on clinical observations and molecular mechanisms are extrapolated from fundamental research in other body parts or joints. This perspective study provides an overview of current knowledge on molecular pathways and biomechanical effects in temporomandibular joint remodeling. It provides research directions that could lead to acquiring fundamental evidence of the relation of orthognathic surgery and inflammation and its role in remodeling. Performing osteotomies in animal models and identifying inflammatory mediators as well as their effect on the joint seem promising. Patients affected by pathological remodeling can also provide samples for histological as well as molecular analysis. Individual susceptibility analysis by linking certain suspect phenotypes to genetic variation could identify the cause and molecular pathway responsible for degenerative joint disease and condylar resorption, ultimately leading to clinically applicable treatment and prevention strategies.

Abstract
Bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSO) surgery is used to correct various dento-skeletal deformities. Clinical outcomes are critically dependent on accurate and proper positioning of skeletal units created by BSSO. Monitoring skeletal changes postoperatively is a major part of follow-up. Between January 2015 and December 2015, 24 patients underwent BSSO surgery without any other segmental osteotomy (mean age, 29.9 ± 14.2 [range, 17-67] years; 18 females). Cephalometric X-rays and cone-beam computed tomography scans were performed 6 weeks and 12 months postoperatively. We compared the position displacement at three mandibular points at both postoperative time points using 2- and 3-dimensional analysis separately and examined the relationship between these methods. Horizontally in at least in 14/24 patients, the difference between 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional measurements was >1 mm. Vertically in at least in 16/24 patients, the difference between 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional measurements was >1 mm. A scatter plot with orthogonal regression indicated the relationships between the 2-dimensional measurement and the corresponding 3-dimensional measurement in the horizontal and vertical directions. Skeletal relapse with 2-dimensional-measurements differed significantly from the 3-dimensional measurements. There was no evidence of a relationship between the two types of measurements regarding the direction and the location of the landmarks.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This pilot study had as main objective to test the reliability of a new method to evaluate orthognathic surgery outcomes and also, to understand the effect of hard tissue changes on soft tissue displacement. METHODS The sample consisted of eight patients that underwent bimaxillary advancement and had CBCT at two time points (before surgery and 6-8 months follow-up). Voxel-based cranial base superimposition was used to register the scans. A different technique of iterative closest point (ICP) was used to measure and correlate the changes. The average displacement of 15 areas (4 hard tissue and 11 soft tissue) were measured twice. RESULTS ICC was > 0.99 for all areas. Changes in the tip of the nose did not correlate with changes in any maxillary area, whereas soft tissue A point, A point and upper lips had correlation with several areas. The highest correlation for the maxilla was between the upper lip and the left/right supra cheilion (p< 0.001, r= 0.91 and p< 0.001, r= 0.93, respectively). In the mandible, the majority of the correlations involved soft tissue pogonion, pogonion and lower incisors, with the strongest one between pogonion and lower incisors (p< 0.001, r= 0.98). CONCLUSION With the proper case selection, ICP is a reliable method that can be used to assess three-dimensional changes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although computer-aided craniofacial reconstructions allow for simulation of hard tissue changes, the prediction of the final soft tissue facial changes remains a challenge. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the 3-dimensional (3D) soft tissue changes in patients undergoing 2-jaw orthognathic surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS For the present retrospective cohort study, 40 consecutive patients (11 men and 29 women; mean age 23.5 ± 4.9 years) who had undergone 2-jaw orthognathic surgery were selected. We obtained the medical and dental records from 3 weeks before surgery and 6 months after surgery. We used image processing software to segment, superimpose, and quantify the hard and soft tissue displacements in 3 dimensions before and after surgery at 15 paired locations. The soft tissue and hard tissue changes were determined through quantification of homologous landmark displacements between the preoperative and postoperative computed tomography data. We measured the 3D soft and hard tissue changes and the anteroposterior, inferosuperior, and transverse components of the changes. We quantified the ratios between the soft and hard tissue changes, tested Pearson's correlation between these changes, and developed a predictive regression equation for the observations at each location. RESULTS We found that soft tissue movement followed the hard tissue movement, with a correlation nearly equal to 0.9 (range 0.85 to 0.98), suggesting that in general the soft tissues of the maxillary and mandibular landmarks are affected similarly by the skeletal movements. The anteroposterior component of the soft tissue 3D displacements followed the hard tissue movement with a ratio greater than 0.9 and with high correlation (r > 0.9) in the mandible. CONCLUSION The results of the present study provide surgeons with a ratio of hard to soft tissue change and the strength of the correlations, which will allow for more accurate 3D predictions for both midline and lateral structures in bimaxillary orthognathic surgical cases. In addition, predictive equations for various landmarks were developed and can be used in computer-based prediction programs to aid in treatment planning of soft tissue changes.

Abstract
The three-dimensional (3D) changes in hard tissue position following orthognathic surgery have been reported using 3D cephalometry, changes in volume, principal component analysis, and changes based on the surface model of the hard tissue. The aim of this study was to determine the validity of using surface models as a method of assessing positional changes of the maxilla and mandible. The actual unidirectional movement of the maxilla (advancement or downgraft) and the mandible (advancement), together with bidirectional movement of the maxilla (simultaneous advancement and downgraft) were simulated on a plastic skull. Following cone beam computed tomography scanning of each surgical simulation, the actual surgical movement was compared to the analysis based on surface model movement using the mean absolute distance of all points, the 90th percentile, and the root mean square (RMS) distance. All three methods of assessment of analysis consistently underestimated the actual amount of surgical movement. The movement was approximately one-third to one-half of the actual surgical movement. The use of surface meshes and point-to-point measurements grossly underestimates the 3D changes in the maxilla and mandible in simulated surgical procedures. Currently there are limitations in fully describing the true positional changes of the maxilla or the mandible in three dimensions.
