Küçükçakır O, Ersan N, Arslan YZ, Cansız E. Evaluation of mandibular condyle position in Class III patients after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery: A cone-beam computed tomography study. Korean J Orthod 2024; 54:247-256. [PMID: 38981647 PMCID: PMC11270145 DOI: 10.4041/kjod23.188] [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: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective This retrospective study evaluated the mandibular condyle position before and after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery performed with the mandibular condyle positioned manually in patients with mandibular prognathism using cone-beam computed tomography. Methods Overall, 88 mandibular condyles from 44 adult patients (20 female and 24 male) diagnosed with mandibular prognathism due to skeletal Class III malocclusion who underwent bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) and Le Fort I performed using the manual condyle positioning method were included. Cone-beam computed tomography images obtained 1-2 weeks before (T0) and approximately 6 months after (T1) surgery were analyzed in three planes using 3D Slicer software. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05 level. Results Significant inward rotation of the left mandibular condyle and significant outward rotation of the right mandibular condyle were observed in the axial and coronal planes (P < 0.05). The positions of the right and left condyles in the sagittal plane and the distance between the most medial points of the condyles in the coronal plane did not differ significantly (P > 0.05). Conclusions While the change in the sagittal plane can be maintained as before surgery with manual positioning during the BSSRO procedure, significant inward and outward rotation was observed in the axial and coronal planes, respectively, even in the absence of concomitant temporomandibular joint disorder before or after the operation. Further long-term studies are needed to correlate these findings with possible clinical consequences.

Improvement of the temporomandibular joint symptoms due to the condylar position change following modified L-shaped intraoral vertico-sagittal ramus osteotomy: a single-center, retrospective study. Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024:10.1007/s10006-024-01266-7.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intraoral vertico-sagittal ramus osteotomy (IVSRO) was first reported by Choung in 1992 as a surgical procedure to decrease postoperative condylar dislocation. In 2017, Iwanaga et al. developed modified L-shaped IVSRO (mIVSRO) to reduce postoperative nerve dysfunction and achieved favorable outcomes. This study aimed to clarify the effect of mIVSRO on changes in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) symptoms and three-dimensional condylar position. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of thirty sides in fifteen Japanese adults diagnosed with jaw deformities who underwent mIVSRO and sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO). TMJ symptoms were assessed chronologically, and the condylar long axis and the condylar position were analyzed two- and three-dimensionally using axial cephalograms and cone-beam computed tomography. RESULTS Postoperative TMJ symptoms improved by 90% (9/10 sides) in the mIVSRO group and by 50% (7/14 sides) in the SSRO group. The mIVSRO group exhibited outward rotation of the condylar long axis, while the SSRO group exhibited inward rotation. Moreover, mIVSRO induced residual anteromedial-inferior deviation of the condyle. The inclination angle of the condylar process was not significantly different between the two procedures pre- and postoperatively. CONCLUSION These results clearly demonstrated the effect of mIVSRO on symptomatic TMJ. Residual changes in the position of the condyle following mIVSRO may not affect jaw function.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Aligning dental arches in orthognathic treatment after undergoing LeFort I osteotomy or bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) relies on occlusal splints, which do not provide precise control over the condylar head. AIM OF THE STUDY To clinically and radiographically assess the accuracy of computer-assisted design and manufactured (CAD/CAM) surgical guide for condylar positioning in a BSSO. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study recruited 8 patients with a non-syndromic dentofacial deformity who underwent a BSSO. Surgery was planned according to CAD/CAM technology. After osteotomy, a pre-operative guide was used, followed by a repositioning guide. Computed tomography scans were conducted on all patients 1 week pre-operatively, immediately, and 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS The data are presented as median values with the 25th and 75th percentiles. Eight patients (37.50% females and 62.50% males) between the ages of 19 and 24 underwent BSSOs. The surgical procedure successfully corrected their skeletal deformities. The absolute change between immediate postoperative and pre-operative condylar angle was 0.15 (0.00-0.3). The absolute change between 3 months postoperative and pre-operative condylar angle was 0.20 (0.00-0.30). CONCLUSION The stability of the condylar head in position is well assessed by 3-dimensional condylar positioning devices designed and manufactured by CAD/CAM technology in the mandibular BSSO.

[PMID: 37992759 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2023.11.003] [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: 02/15/2023] [Revised: 10/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Maintaining condyle position following bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSO) is crucial to minimizing postoperative relapse. However, the impact of BSSO on the articular disc position remains inconclusive. PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the changes in articular disc position following setback BSSO surgery. STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, AND SAMPLING In this prospective cohort study, subjects with mandibular prognathism requiring setback BSSO were enrolled between August 2021 and June 2022 at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic, Faculty of Dentistry, Chiang Mai University, Thailand. Patients with surgical complications, loss of follow-up, or significant artifacts in their MR images were excluded. PREDICTOR/EXPOSURE/INDEPENDENT VARIABLES The predictor variable was time. The articular disc position was assessed at 3 time points, preoperatively (T0), 3 months postsurgery (T1), and 6 months postsurgery (T2). MAIN OUTCOME The primary and secondary outcome variables were the changes in articular disc position between T0-T2 and T0-T1, respectively. Articular disc position was coded as normal, anterior disc displacement with reduction (ADDwR), anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADDwoR), and anterior disc displacement without reduction and degenerative joint disease (ADDwoR + DJD). COVARIATES Covariate variables collected included age (years), sex (male or female), asymmetry (present or absent), surgical procedure (single jaw (BSSO) or bimaxillary surgery), and setback distance (millimeters). ANALYSES Friedman's test with 80% power and a significance level of 0.05 was employed. Pairwise comparisons were performed using the Dunn-Bonferroni posthoc test to identify statistically significant differences. RESULTS The study included 16 subjects, 6 females and 10 males, with a total of 32 TMJs. Subjects had a mean age of 23.75 (4.57) years. The proportion of TMJs with normal disc position postoperatively increased from 3 (9.4%) to 19 (59.4%). Statistically significant differences were found in the changes in disc position over time (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Following setback BSSO, the articular discs underwent changes, with a majority of ADDwR cases transitioning to a normal position. Cases with ADDwoR also demonstrated disc reduction capability after surgery. The combined orthodontic treatment and setback BSSO appear to have an effect on articular disc position in skeleton class III patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigated whether patient-specific condylar positioning devices (CPDs) are beneficial compared to the conventional manual positioning of the condyles. METHODS In this prospective, randomized trial, patients undergoing orthognathic surgery with a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy of the mandible were included. The ascending ramus was positioned with computer-aided designed and computer-aided manufactured (CAD/CAM) patient-specific devices in the CPD group and manually in the control group. Postoperatively, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed to align the virtually planned position with the postoperative result. RESULTS Thirty patients were enrolled in the study, with 14 randomized to the CPD group and 16 to the control group. In the CPD group, the ascending ramus differed in the postoperative CBCT scan from the virtually planned position by 0.8 mm in the left/right, 0.8 mm in the front/back, and 1.3 mm in the cranial/caudal direction. The corresponding control-group values were 1.1 mm, 1.3 mm, and 1.6 mm. CPD and controls differed significantly for the left/right movement of the rami (p = 0.04) but not for the other directions or rotations (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrate that both methods are accurate, and postoperative results matched the virtually planned position precisely. It can be assumed that the described CPDs are beneficial when a condylar position different from the preoperative is desired.

Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2023; 61:659-665.

Abstract
In-house repositioning methods based on three-dimensional (3D)-printing technology and the use of pre-bent plates has been gaining popularity in orthognathic surgery. However, there remains room for further improvement in methods and investigations on clinical factors that affect accuracy. This single-centre, prospective study included 34 patients and aimed to evaluate the accuracy and factors influencing maxillary and mandibular repositioning using pre-bent locking plates. The plates were manually pre-bent on the 3D-printed models of the planned position, and their hole positions were scanned and reproduced intraoperatively with osteotomy guides. The accuracy of repositioning and plate-hole positioning was calculated in three axes with the set landmarks. The following clinical factors that affect repositioning accuracy were also verified: deviation of the plate-hole positioning, amount of planned movement, and amount of simulated bony interference. The median deviations of the repositioning and hole positioning between the preoperative plan and postoperative results were 0.26 mm and 0.23 mm, respectively, in the maxilla, and 0.69 mm and 0.36 mm, respectively, in the mandible, suggesting that the method was highly accurate, and the repositioning concept based on the plate hole and form matching was more effective in the maxilla. Results of the correlation test suggest that large amounts of bony interference and plate-hole positioning errors in the up/down direction could reduce mandibular repositioning accuracy.

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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this work is to assess the relationship between orthognathic surgery and temporomandibular disorders literature through a bibliometric analysis. METHODS A bibliographic search in line with the STROBE guidelines and the concepts of the Leiden Manifesto was performed on the Web of Science using the terms orthognathic surgery AND temporomandibular. A citation analysis and establishment of the more cited articles were performed. A graphical representation of the keywords was created with VOSviewer. RESULTS A total of 810 articles were analyzed in this study. The research revealed a significant increase in publications on this topic, particularly in English language articles and a high H-index. The publications represented 55 nations, with the highest number of articles coming from the USA. The discussion of highly cited articles covered various aspects such as the relationship between orthognathic surgery and TMD, including condylar resorption or displacement, predisposing factors, dentoskeletal and occlusion patterns, anatomical factors, osteotomy techniques, condylar positioning techniques, and emerging technologies for improved TMJ stability. CONCLUSION The analysis reveals an increasing research interest in this field, with a significant number of publications in English and a high citation rate per article, indicating the impact of the research. Various factors associated with TMD in orthognathic surgery are explored, including condylar alterations, predisposing factors, occlusion patterns, and surgical techniques. The study underscores the importance of thorough assessment, treatment, and monitoring of TMD in orthognathic surgery patients, while acknowledging the need for further research and consensus in management strategies.

Abstract
This retrospective study aimed to assess the accuracy of prebent plates and computer-aided design and manufacturing osteotomy guide for orthognathic surgery. The prebent plates correspondent to the planning model were scanned with a 3-dimensional printed model for guide design and used for fixation. Forty-two patients who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery using computer-aided design and manufacturing intermediate splint with the guide (guided group: 20 patients) or with conventional fixation under straight locking miniplates (SLMs) technique (SLM group: 20 patients) were analyzed. A deviation of the maxilla between the planned and postoperative positions was evaluated using computed tomography, which was taken 2 weeks before and 4 days after the surgery. The surgery time and the infraorbital nerve paranesthesia were also evaluated. The mean deviations in the mediolateral ( x ), anteroposterior ( y ), and vertical directions ( z ) were 0.25, 0.50, and 0.37 mm, respectively, in the guided group, while that in the SLM group were 0.57, 0.52, and 0.82 mm, respectively. There were significant differences in x and z coordinates ( P <0.001). No significant difference in the surgery duration and paranesthesia was seen, suggesting the present method offers a half-millimeter accuracy for the maxillary repositioning without increasing the risk of extending surgery duration and nerve complication.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate a possible relation between skeletal phenotypes and virtual mounting data in orthognathic surgery patients. A retrospective cohort study including 323 female (26.1 ± 8.7 years) and 191 male (27.9 ± 8.3 years) orthognathic surgery patients was conducted. A k-means cluster analysis was performed on the mounting parameters: the angle α between the upper occlusal plane (uOP) and the axis orbital plane (AOP); the perpendicular distance (AxV) from the uOP to the hinge axis; and the horizontal length (AxH) of the uOP from upper incisor edge to AxV, with subsequent statistical analysis of related cepalometric values. Three clusters of mounting data were identified, representing three skeletal phenotypes: (1) balanced face with marginal skeletal class II or III and α=8∘, AxV = 36 mm and AxH = 99 mm; (2) vertical face with skeletal class II and α=11∘, AxV = 27 mm and AxH = 88 mm; (3) horizontal face with class III and α=2∘, AxV = 36 mm and AxH = 86 mm. The obtained data on the position of the hinge axis can be applied to any digital planning in orthognathic surgery using CBCT or a virtual articulator, provided that the case can be clearly assigned to one of the calculated clusters.

[PMID: 37075807 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2023.03.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/21/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Bibliometric analyses provide information on the effectiveness, performance, trends, and various other characteristics of research by using mathematical and statistical analysis methods for data related to scientific publications. This study aims to determine the focus of studies in the field of orthognathic surgery, map it, and present the results in a simplified manner through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the relevant literature. METHODS In this bibliometric analysis study, orthognathic surgery publications from 1980 to 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. The independent variables were co-citations, while the outcome variables included cross-country collaboration analysis, keyword analysis, co-citation analysis, and cluster analysis of the co-citation network. Covariates were the number of publications, number of citations, year range, centrality value, and silhouette value. The bibliometric analysis was conducted using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R-Studio software. RESULTS A total of 7,135 publications and 75,822 references were included in the analysis, and the annual growth rate of publications was 9.52%. The co-citation clustering analysis revealed that the orthognathic surgery literature was organized into 16 subject headings. Patient satisfaction was found to be the most widely published topic. The youngest clusters, representing new topics in the field, were virtual planning and examination of condylar changes after orthognathic surgery. CONCLUSION Bibliometric analysis methods were used to evaluate the 40-year history of the orthognathic surgery literature. The analysis identified the most influential publications, the topics in which the literature is divided, and hot spots in the field. By conducting similar bibliometric research studies in the future, the progress and future direction of the literature can be monitored based on evidence.

Accuracy of mandibular repositioning surgery using new technology: Computer-aided design and manufacturing customized surgical cutting guides and fixation plates. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2023; 163:357-367.e3. [PMID: 36503861 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajodo.2021.12.021] [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: 10/01/2020] [Revised: 11/01/2021] [Accepted: 12/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent 3-dimensional technology advancements have resulted in new techniques to improve the accuracy of intraoperative transfer. This study aimed to validate the accuracy of computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) customized surgical cutting guides and fixation plates on mandibular repositioning surgery performed in isolation or combined with simultaneous maxillary repositioning surgery. METHODS Sixty patients who underwent mandibular advancement surgery by the same surgeon were retrospectively evaluated by 3-dimensional surface-based superimposition. A 3-point coordinate system (x, y, z) was used to identify the linear and angular discrepancies between the planned movements and actual outcomes. Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare the outcomes between the mandible-only and the bimaxillary surgery groups with significance at P <0.05. Pearson correlation coefficient compared planned mandible advancement to the outcome from advancement planned. The centroid, which represents the mandible as a single unit, was computed from 3 landmarks, and the discrepancies were evaluated by the root mean square error (RMSE) for clinical significance set at 2 mm for linear discrepancies and 4° for angular discrepancies. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference between the planned and actual position of the mandible in either group when considering absolute values of the differences. When considering raw directional data, a statistically significant difference was identified in the y-axis suggesting a tendency for under-advancement of the mandible in the bimaxillary group. The largest translational RMSE for the centroid was 0.77 mm in the sagittal dimension for the bimaxillary surgery group. The largest rotational RMSE for the centroid was 1.25° in the transverse dimension for the bimaxillary surgery group. Our results show that the precision and clinical feasibility of CAD-CAM customized surgical cutting guides and fixation plates on mandibular repositioning surgery is well within clinically acceptable parameters. CONCLUSION Mandibular repositioning surgery can be performed predictably and accurately with the aid of CAD-CAM customized surgical cutting guides and fixation plates with or without maxillary surgery.

Abstract
Purpose to evaluate the efficacy of dual-purpose computer-generated splint in guiding the proximal and the distal segment in bilateral sagittal split osteotomy. Patients and Method It was a prospective case series study directed on 8 class III patients indicating the need of maxillary advancement and mandibular set back by bilateral sagittal split osteotomy. A CAD/CAM splint is generated to guide the distal segment to the stable maxilla and at the same time a grooved extension to engage the proximal segment ensuring the condyle in its planned position during fixation. The primary outcome was measured by calculating the difference between the pre- and post-operative condylar segment position. Results The present study included five female patient and three male patient with mean age of 28.4 ± 5.1 years. The accuracy of the splint in positioning the mandibular proximal segment showed promising results ranging from 2.59 to 0.49. Conclusion The dual-purpose splint introduced in this study showed satisfied results in maintaining the pre-operative condylar position while securing the distal segment in the desired plan.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:1926. [PMID: 36767291 PMCID: PMC9916000 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20031926] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) is a standard surgical technique for patients with mandibular prognathism. However, the appropriate position of the proximal fragment is not strictly defined, and rigid fixation can induce early postoperative skeletal relapse and temporomandibular (TMJ) disorders. Loose fixation can be expected to seat the proximal bone fragments in a physiologically appropriate position, thereby reducing adverse events. Although long-term skeletal stability has been achieved using SSRO without fixation, the evaluation of preoperative and postoperative eating and swallowing functions remains unclear, and this study aimed to clarify this point. We evaluated mastication time, oral transfer time, and pharyngeal transfer time using videofluorography (VF) preoperatively, two months postoperatively, and six months postoperatively, and along with the position of anatomical landmarks using cephalometric radiographs, modified water swallowing test (MWST), food test (FT), and repetitive saliva swallowing test (RSST) were used to evaluate postoperative swallowing function. Four patients (one male, three females; mean (range) age 26.5 (18-51) years) were included, with a mean setback of 9.5 mm and 6.5 mm on the right and left sides, respectively. Postoperative eating and swallowing functions were good in VF, cephalometric analysis, MWST, FT, and RSST. In the present study, good results for postoperative eating and swallowing functions were obtained in SSRO with loose fixation of the proximal and distal bone segments.

Abstract
Aim To assess the efficacy of sagittal split plate with adjustable slider for intra-operative correction of condylar sag after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy. Subjects and Methods Patients reporting for correction of mandibular skeletal deformities for correction with sagittal split osteotomy (SSRO) were enrolled in the study. Simple randomization method was followed for patient allocation. Patients in group A had undergone fixation sagittal split fix plates; in group B, miniplate fixation with monocortical screws was used. Occlusion was the key indicator of condylar sage that was checked at different time frames (intra-operatively T0, immediate T1, 6 months postoperatively T2). Preoperative, immediate and late postoperative (at 6 months and 1-year interval) and lateral cephalometric assessment was used to assess their stability. Results Thirty-three patients were enrolled and 20 patients were included in the study. One patient of group A presented with central condylar sag that was identified intra-operatively and addressed immediately. All the patients in group B presented with type 2 peripheral condylar sag that was addressed by inter-maxillary elastics and orthodontics. Two patients in group A presented with mild degree of relapse at 6 months, which was comparable to the control group indicating good stability. Conclusion Sagittal split plates appear to be efficacious for intra-operative identification and correction of condylar sag is associated with SSRO.

J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2022; 50:915-922. [PMID: 36621385 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2022.12.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 10/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
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
Abstract
Purpose
Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to evaluate the effects of different thicknesses, numbers, and positions of the miniplate applied in bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) under two occlusal conditions.
Methods
An FEA model of the mandibles was constructed and combined with different thicknesses (0.6 or 1 mm), number (one or two), positions (upper or lower) of a miniplate and was divided into six models. In addition, external forces were applied to the muscles to simulate the intercuspal position (ICP) and right unilateral molar clench. This study used the reaction force of the temporomandibular joints and the stress of the mandible as observation indexes.
Results
The results of this study show that, under ICP, the 0.6 mm lower model generated greater TMJ force reaction compared to the 0.6 mm upper model. The same trend was seen in the 1 mm lower model compared to the 1 mm upper model. Regarding the stress of the bone on the screw-implanted sites, under ICP, screw 10 showed greater stress than screw 2, and screw 11 showed greater stress than screw 3. The stress values of the miniplates showed, under ICP, point 1-c was greater than point 3-c, and point 1-b was greater than point 3-b.
Conclusion
In the case of BSSO mandibular advancement surgery, implanting the miniplate at the upper position can reduce the force on the TMJ and the stress on the distal segment of the mandible. The miniplate can also resist the tensile stress more effectively. In addition, implanting two miniplates with thinner sizes may be an alternative in clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE To retrospectively compare the high-angled sagittal split osteotomy (HOO) and the bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) for the correction of skeletal dysgnathias regarding intra- and postoperative complications. METHODS The electronic medical records of all patients treated with an orthognathic surgery at the Department for Oral, Maxillofacial and Facial Plastic Surgery, University Hospital Frankfurt, Germany, between the years 2009 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Two hundred ninety-one patients were included. The overall complication rates were 19.78% (BSSO) compared to 12.5% (HOO) (p = 0.14). Significant differences were found regarding the operation time (HOO < BSSO, p = 0.02), material failure (HOO > BSSO, p = 0.04), and early recurrence requiring revision surgery (HOO < BSSO, p = 0.002). The use of a ramus plate significantly reduced the risk of plate failure (2.8% < 13.6%, p = 0.05). More bad splits (p = 0.08) and early sensory disorders (p = 0.07) occurred in the BSSO group. CONCLUSION The HOO presents a possible alternative to the BSSO since newly developed osteosynthesis material significantly reduces the risk of material failure. The BSSO is accompanied by higher risks of developing complications like a bad split and sensory disorders but, however, remains the standard for large anterior-posterior transpositions of the mandible.

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.

Abstract
PURPOSE The surgical condylar displacement often resulted in relapse and serious symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) after orthognathic surgery. To minimize the displacement, numerous techniques have been proposed. To verify their accuracy in positioning and effectiveness in preventing postoperative TMD and relapse, we reviewed the literature related to intraoperative condylar positioning techniques on the mandible in this study. METHODS The literature on condylar positioning techniques was reviewed with 2 charts, including the non-computer-assisted and the computer-assisted positioning methods. The pre- and postoperative alterations of condyles, the postoperative temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function, and surgical relapse were analyzed regarding the techniques. The clinical usage and characteristics were reviewed as well. RESULTS A total of 22 articles, including 907 patients, have been reported since 2001. Nearly all methods reach a considerable positioning accuracy within the range of 1-2 mm and 1-2° from the preoperative position. We ranked the accuracy of the methods from high to low: CAD/CAM CPDs>CAD/CAM titanium plate positioning>manual positioning>computer-assisted navigation systems>imaging positioning systems. Most skeletal class II and class III patients achieved great occlusion and had no TMJ dysfunction or relapse after condylar positioning. CONCLUSION Both the non-computer-assisted and computer-assisted condylar positioning techniques reach considerable accuracy in locating the preoperative condyle position and preventing TMJ dysfunction and surgical relapse. Different levels of surgeons and cases can benefit from multiple suggested positioning methods. Further research with large samples and long-term follow-up is worth looking forward to upgrading the current methods, improving the clinical utility, and developing new positioning techniques.

Three-dimensional condylar displacement and remodelling following correction of asymmetric mandibular prognathism with maxillary canting. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2021; 51:813-822. [PMID: 34924271 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2021.12.003] [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: 04/23/2021] [Revised: 09/11/2021] [Accepted: 12/03/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the three-dimensional condylar displacement and long-term remodelling following the correction of asymmetric mandibular prognathism with maxillary canting. Thirty consecutive patients (60 condyles) with asymmetric mandibular prognathism >4 mm and occlusal canting >3 mm, treated by Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy, were included. Spiral computed tomography scans obtained at different periods during long-term follow-up (mean 17 ± 7.2 months) were gathered and processed using ITK-SNAP and 3D Slicer. The condyles were subjected to translational and rotational displacements immediately after the surgery (T2), which had not fully returned to the original preoperative positions at the last follow-up (T3). Condylar remodelling was observed at the last follow-up (T3), with the shorter side condyles subjected to higher surface resorption and overall condylar volume loss. The overall condylar volume on the shorter side was significantly reduced compared to the volume on the elongated side (-11.9 ± 90.6 vs -131.7 ± 138.2 mm3; P = 0.001). About 73%, 87%, 53%, and 54% of the shorter side condyles experienced resorption on the posterior, superior, medial, and lateral surfaces, respectively; in contrast, only 50% of the elongated side condyles showed resorption on the superior surface. Higher preoperative asymmetry was significantly correlated with increased postoperative condylar displacement (P < 0.05). The vertical asymmetry and the vector of condylar displacement were associated with the resultant remodelling process. It is concluded that condylar resorption of the shorter side condyle, which may affect the long-term surgical stability, has to be considered.

Abstract
This study aims to assess the postoperative condylar displacement and the long-term condylar remodelling in patients with mandibular prognathism with transverse asymmetry after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO). Forty-one consecutive patients (82 condyles) with a transverse mandibular asymmetry of more than 4 mm without occlusal canting treated by BSSRO were included. The preoperative (T1), immediate postoperative (T2) and long-term follow-up of an average of 16.2 months (T3) spiral computed tomography scans were gathered and processed to measure the condylar displacement and remodelling based on cranial base voxel-based and rigid regional registrations. The statistical analysis revealed that the majority of condyles (T1-T2) were transitionally displaced forwards, downwards and laterally, and were not fully returned to the preoperative position at T3. Condylar lateral displacement was significantly higher on the deviated side (DS) (P = 0.035). Non-deviated side (NDS) condyles were mainly subjected to upward pitch, medial yaw and medial roll compared with downward pitch, lateral yaw and lateral roll on DS. Condylar remodelling at T3 was observed, with the superior and posterior surfaces commonly subjected to bone resorption, whereas the anterior and medial surfaces were commonly subjected to bone apposition. Condylar volumetric changes were relatively comparable on NDS (3 ± 85.2 mm3) and DS (8.3 ± 111.7 mm3) condyles. Age, amount of preoperative asymmetry and follow-up period were not correlated with the condylar remodelling. Transitional and rotational displacements were to some extent significantly correlated with the condylar remodelling on both sides. Consequently, passive condylar seating without torque might prevent the long-term unfavourable condylar remodelling.

Postsurgical Stability of Temporomandibular Joint of Skeletal Class III Patients Treated with 2-Jaw Orthognathic Surgery via Computer-Aided Three-Dimensional Simulation and Navigation in Orthognathic Surgery (CASNOS). BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:1563551. [PMID: 34409098 PMCID: PMC8367535 DOI: 10.1155/2021/1563551] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2021] [Revised: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 07/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Objective The aim of this study is to clarify the postsurgical stability of temporomandibular joints in skeletal class III patients treated with 2-jaw orthognathic surgery which was performed utilizing computer-aided three-dimensional simulation and navigation in orthognathic surgery (CASNOS) protocol. Materials and Methods 23 consecutive nongrowing skeletal class III patients with mandibular prognathism associated with maxillary retrognathism treated with 2-jaw orthognathic surgery between 2018 and 2019 were enrolled in this study. The surgery was planned according to the standardized protocol of CASNOS (computer-aided three-dimensional simulation and navigation in orthognathic surgery). Computed tomography (CT) scans were performed in all patients 3 weeks presurgically and 6 months postsurgically. ITKSNAP and 3D Slicer software were used to reconstruct three-dimensional facial skeletal images, to carry out image segmentation, and to superimpose and quantify the TMJ position changes before and after surgery. Amount of displacement of the most medial and lateral points of the condyles and the change of intercondylar angles were measured to evaluate the postsurgical stability of TMJ. Results A total amount of 23 skeletal class III patients (female : male = 12 : 11) with age ranged from 20.3 to 33.5 years (mean: 24.39 ± 4.8 years old) underwent Le Fort I maxillary advancement and BSSO setback of the mandible. The surgical outcome revealed the satisfactory correction of their skeletal deformities. The mean displacement of the right most lateral condylar point (RL-RL′) was 1.04 ± 0.42 mm and the mean displacement of the left most lateral condylar point (LL-LL′) was 1.19 ± 0.41 mm. The mean displacement of the right most medial condylar point (RM-RM′) was 1.03 ± 0.39 mm and the left most medial condylar point (LM-LM′) was 0.96 ± 0.39 mm. The mean intercondylar angle was 161.61 ± 5.08° presurgically and 159.28 ± 4.92° postsurgically. Conclusion The postsurgical position of TM joint condyles in our study only presented a mild change with all the landmark displacement within a range of 1.2 mm. This indicates the bimaxillary orthognathic surgery via 3D CASNOS protocol can achieve a desired and stable result of TMJ position in treating skeletal class III adult patients with retrognathic maxilla and prognathic mandible.

Abstract
When using the bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) technique, rigid internal fixation (RIF) remains the standard method to accurately fix the distal and proximal osteotomy fragments. A concern with the use of RIF, especially with bicortical screws, is the increased risk of condylar torque and its functional consequences. This technical note introduces a new method for preventing torque of the mandibular condyles after BSSO, using a sagittal split space maintainer.

Abstract
The objectives of this retrospective study were to determine the unexpected return-to-theatre rate for orthognathic surgery at James Cook University Hospital and describe the reasons for return. A total of 357 consecutive orthognathic cases under two consultants over a 13-year period were included. Patients who had an unexpected return to theatre were identified and their notes analysed for data including preoperative dentofacial discrepancy, surgical movement, and reason for return. Returns to theatre for the removal of plates and planned procedures such as removal of a distractor or delayed genioplasty, were excluded. Thirteen patients required reoperation (3.6%). The commonest reason for return was malocclusion, and the majority returned within four weeks of the initial procedure. Proportionally more men returned to theatre than women, and revision was more likely to involve the mandible than the maxilla.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the postsurgical mandibular changes after surgery based on vertical dimension increase in skeletal Class III deformities. Patients who underwent mandibular setback surgery for skeletal Class III malocclusion correction with surgery-first orthognathic treatment were enrolled in the study. Lateral cephalograms were obtained at initial visit, immediately after surgery, 6 months after surgery, and at post-treatment. Postsurgical change of the mandible based on the vertical dimension increase was estimated using a diagrammatic method before surgery and this amount was compared with the actual amount of mandibular forward movement at 6 months after the surgery, using a paired t-test and Bland-Altman plot. Thirty patients (16 men and 14 women; mean age, 22.6 years) with skeletal Class III deformities had undergone mandibular setback surgery with the surgery-first orthognathic treatment. Immediately after surgery, the mandible setback was 9.4 ± 3.7 mm at pogonion. Six months after surgery, the mandible moved forward at an average of 2.3 ± 1.5 mm which corresponded to the estimated value of 2.2 ± 0.9 mm. The estimated amount of postsurgical movement did not show a statistically significant difference from the actual value on paired t-test (p = 0.349). The Bland-Altman analysis showed that the difference between the two values was within the limits of agreement. The postsurgical changes based on vertical dimension increase in surgery-first orthognathic treatment might be predicted by using a diagrammatic method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the use of computer-aided design and manufacturing cutting and drilling guides with prebent titanium plates for the correction of skeletal class III malocclusion. METHODS In this prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial, 46 patients with skeletal class III malocclusion were randomly assigned into two groups. The patients underwent bimaxillary surgery with computer-aided design and manufacturing cutting and drilling guides with prebent titanium plates (experimental group) or computer-aided design and manufacturing splints (control group). Preoperative and postoperative imaging data were collected and then analyzed using Mimics Research 19.0, Geomagic Studio, and IBM SPSS Version 21.0. RESULTS Deformity evaluation and posttreatment assessment were performed for all patients. The experimental group had fewer postoperative complications. Comparison of the linear and angular differences to facial reference planes revealed more accurate repositioning of the mandible and condyles in the experimental group, although the position of several landmarks still requires small adjustments. CONCLUSION Computer-aided design and manufacturing cutting and drilling guides with prebent titanium plates effectively corrected skeletal class III malocclusion, providing positional control of segments with reasonable surgical accuracy.

Abstract
Current techniques for orthognathic surgery after Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) rely on intermediate and final occlusal splints for proper positioning of the dental arches without any control in positioning the condyle and ramus segments. Setting the 2 condyles in centric relation in the glenoid fossae at fixation is paramount for condylar function and the accuracy and stability of postoperative occlusion. Usually the 2 ramus segments are manually positioned and fixated in the final position according to the surgeon's experience. This report describes a novel technique to position the condyle and ramus segments in centric relation using skeletal guides designed by computer-assisted designed and computer-assisted manufactured (CAD-CAM) technology. The skeletal guides have a double-U shape designed to be tooth borne on the distal segment and bone borne on the proximal segment. The guides fit on the last molar crown and the anterior border of the ramus; using these reference points will position the mandibular arch and 2 ramus segments in ideal centric occlusion and centric relation. The condyle position in the sagittal, horizontal, and transverse planes was analyzed by computed tomography and differences in measurements were calculated. This technique confirms precise control of the condylar segment in centric relation with stable centric occlusion using CAD-CAM guides during BSSO.

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
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical interventions and the accuracy of maxillary reposition using a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) splint derived via surgical simulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The retrospective study comprised 24 patients who underwent bimaxillary surgery. The patients were assigned to 1 of 2 groups by a way of maxillary repositioning. One group received conventional intermediate wafers and the other CAD/CAM wafers during Le Fort I osteotomy. We recorded operation time, blood loss, the operative accuracy. Accuracy was analyzed by 3-dimensional computed tomography images before and immediately after the operation. The evaluation points were the right maxillary first incisor (U1), the right maxillary second molar (M2-right), and the left maxillary second molar (M2-left). RESULTS The 2 groups did not differ significantly in operation time and blood losses. The vertical axis of U1 data differed significantly between the 2 groups (P = 0.008). None of the horizontal, vertical, or anteroposterior axis of M2-right data differed significantly, and anteroposterior axis of M2-left data differed significantly (P = 0.0296). The CAD/CAM group 3-dimensional distance errors were less than those of the conventional group for all points. CONCLUSION Placement of CAD/CAM splint allowed highly accurate repositioning; the accuracy exceeded that afforded by conventional model surgery using a facebow and articulator.

[PMID: 32173246 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2020.02.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2019] [Revised: 01/02/2020] [Accepted: 02/25/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
Incorrect registration of the condylar position in orthognathic surgery is supposed to cause postoperative relapse, condylar resorption and temporomandibular disorders. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the influence of general anaesthesia on centric relation (CR). Therefore, CR registered preoperatively in the awake patient and CR registered intraoperatively under general anaesthesia were recorded in 30 patients (14 men, 16 women) undergoing orthognathic surgery (skeletal class I: n=3, II: n=13, III: n=14; symmetric: n=20; asymmetric: n=10). CR records were digitized and, through superimposition on the preoperative cone beam computed tomography of the patient's skull, the superior, anterior and posterior joint space and the volumetric congruence of 120 condyles were analysed. The linear measurements of joint spaces did not demonstrate any clinically relevant discrepancy between the CR measured in the awake and anaesthetized patient. In contrast, volumetric analysis revealed statistically significant differences between both states, with an intraoperative condylar sag predominantly in the posterior-inferior direction. The patient's skeletal class or symmetry had no significant influence on the intraoperative condylar displacement. Thus, the risk of fixing the condyle in an unphysiological position supports the idea of using intraoperative condylar positioning devices to achieve predictable and stable outcomes.

Abstract
The last decade or so has seen paradigm shifts in the various aspects of orthognathic surgery. A lot of these changes are to do with digitalization of the orthodontic-surgical workflow, optimization of surgery-first protocols, virtual surgical planning-based 3D printing solutions and changing patient-health-care dynamics. The aim of this article is to provide evidence-based recommendations that are both practical and economically viable for the current orthognathic practice in India.

Abstract
Background Surgical guiding templates provided a reliable way to transfer the simulation to the actual operation. However, there was no template designed for anterior segmental osteotomy so far. The study aimed to introduce and evaluate a set of 3D rapid prototyping surgical templates used in anterior segmental osteotomy. Material and Methods From August 2015 to August 2017, 17 patients with bimaxillary protrusions were recruited and occlusal-based multi-sectional templates were applied in the surgeries. The cephalometric analysis and 3D superimposition were performed to evaluate the differences between the simulations and actual post-operative outcomes. The patients were followed-up for 12 months to evaluate the incidence rate of complications and relapse. Results Bimaxillary protrusion was corrected in all patients with no complication. In radiographic evaluations, there was no statistically significant difference between the actual operations and the computer-aided 3D simulations (p >0.05, the mean linear and angular differences were less than 1.32mm and 1.72° consequently, and 3D superimposition difference was less than 1.4mm). The Pearson intraclass correlation coefficient reliabilities were high (0.897), and the correlations were highly significant (P< 0.001). Conclusions The 3D printed surgical template designed in this study can safely and accurately transfer the computer-aided 3D simulation into real practice. Key words:CAD/CAM; anterior segmental osteotomy; surgical guiding templates; bimaxillary protrusion; virtual surgery simulation.

Abstract
Our aim was to evaluate the long-term skeletal stability of the mandible in 21 patients after orthognathic surgery with physiological positioning. The measurement points SNB, B point (X, Y), Pog (X, Y), and the angle of the ramus were measured on cephalometric photographs to assess skeletal stability preoperatively, immediately after operation, and one and two years postoperatively. In addition, we evaluated the clinical symptoms of disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The analysis of the cephalometric photographs showed that SNB, B point X, and Pog X showed no significant differences among the postoperative time points. On the other hand, B point Y and Pog Y showed no significant differences throughout the study period. We compared the angle of the ramus before operation and two years postoperatively, and no significant difference was found. In addition, no cases showed any pathological symptoms of disorders of the TMJ two years postoperatively. The long-term stability after orthognathic surgery with physiological positioning was confirmed, and it seems to be a reliable orthognathic treatment in patients with mandibular prognathism.

Abstract
Orthognathic surgery (OGS) is a relatively common procedure for solving functional and aesthetic problems in facial and jaw areas in patients with dentofacial deformities. The positioning of the mandibular condylar segment during OGS has an impact on the surgical outcome. This study aimed to investigate the changes in the condyle-fossa relationship three dimensionally after OGS using the centric relation (CR) bite and the ramal reference line (RRL).Thirty-two patients with skeletal malocclusion underwent OGS. Condylar repositioning was performed using the CR bite, as previously reported. A RRL was added to the existing method and used during the surgery. Cone-beam computed tomography scans were acquired at 4 time points. Sixty-four condyles were evaluated in the coronal, sagittal, and axial views. Two groups were created according to the amount of mandible setback (SB1 vs SB2), and another 2 groups were created according to the maxillary operation (1-jaw vs 2-jaw). Each was then compared at the 4 time points. Differences between the values before (T0) and a year after surgery (T3) were also investigated. The positions of the pogonion and the menton were examined at T2 and T3 for the simple evaluation of relapse.The change in the condylar position was significant over a time-course (P < .001) but not between T0 and T3 (P > .05). Neither the setback amount nor the maxillary operation affected the positional change (P > .05). There were no significant changes between T2 and T3 in the relapse evaluation.This condylar repositioning method using the CR bite and a RRL showed stable results after OGS. This method is noninvasive and cost-effective and can be easily performed even by an inexperienced surgeon because it reduces errors in repositioning the condyle during OGS.

Abstract
Orthognathic surgery treatment (OGS) after orthodontic treatment of dentofacial deformities is a widely performed procedure, often accompanied by a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). Positioning of the condyle during this procedure is a crucial step for achieving optimal functional and anatomical results. Intraoperatively poorly positioned condyles can have a negative effect on the postoperative result and the patient’s well-being. Changes of the condylar position during OGS Procedures and its effects on the temporomandibular joint in orthognathic surgical interventions (OGS) are subject of scientific discussions. However, up to date, no study has investigated the role of condyle position in the surgery first treatment concept. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of OGS on the three-dimensional position of the condyle in the joint in a surgery first treatment concept without positioning device and to record the change in position quantitatively and qualitatively. Analysis of our data indicated that OGS in surgery first treatment concept has no significant effect on the position of the condyle and the anatomy of the temporomandibular joint.

Real-time augmented model guidance for mandibular proximal segment repositioning in orthognathic surgery, using electromagnetic tracking. J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2018; 47:127-137. [PMID: 30447987 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2018.10.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2018] [Revised: 09/17/2018] [Accepted: 10/18/2018] [Indexed: 10/28/2022] Open
Abstract
It is essential to reposition the mandibular proximal segment (MPS) as close to its original position as possible during orthognathic surgery. Conventional methods cannot pinpoint the exact position of the condyle in the fossa in real time during repositioning. In this study, based on an improved registration method and a separable electromagnetic tracking tool, we developed a real-time, augmented, model-guided method for MPS surgery to reposition the condyle into its original position more accurately. After virtual surgery planning, using a complex maxillomandibular model, the final position of the virtual MPS model was simulated via 3D rotations. The displacements resulting from the MPS simulation were applied to the MPS landmarks to indicate their final postoperative positions. We designed a new registration body with 24 fiducial points for registration, and determined the optimal point group on the registration body through a phantom study. The registration between the patient's CT image and physical spaces was performed preoperatively using the optimal points. We also developed a separable frame for installing the electromagnetic tracking tool on the patient's MPS. During MPS surgery, the electromagnetic tracking tool was repeatedly attached to, and separated from, the MPS using the separable frame. The MPS movement resulting from the surgeon's manipulation was tracked by the electromagnetic tracking system. The augmented condyle model and its landmarks were visualized continuously in real time with respect to the simulated model and landmarks. Our method also provides augmented 3D coronal and sagittal views of the fossa and condyle, to allow the surgeon to examine the 3D condyle-fossa positional relationship more accurately. The root mean square differences between the simulated and intraoperative MPS models, and between the simulated and postoperative CT models, were 1.71 ± 0.63 mm and 1.89 ± 0.22 mm respectively at three condylar landmarks. Thus, the surgeons could perform MPS repositioning conveniently and accurately based on real-time augmented model guidance on the 3D condyle positional relationship with respect to the glenoid fossa, using augmented and simulated models and landmarks.

Abstract
Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) is a widely-performed procedure in orthognathic surgery for the correction of dentofacial deformity. Condylar positioning is a critical step during BSSO to maximize functional and morphological results. The unsuitable positioning of condyles represents one of the causative mechanisms that may induce temporomandibular joint noxious effects after BSSO. Repositioning devices can assist surgeons in maintaining the preoperative condylar position; however, empirical repositioning methods based on experience gained are still commonly used. Trainee learning curves are difficult to assess. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relevance of computer-assisted surgery in the acquisition of condylar positioning skills. Forty-eight patients underwent BSSO performed by six maxillofacial trainees (four junior residents and two senior experienced residents). A condyle positioning system (CPS) was used by a senior surgeon to record a condylar position score during the procedure. Firstly, scores were recorded when the trainee manually positioned the condyle without access to the CPS score (phase 1) and then when the trainee positioned the condyle and performed osteosynthesis with visual access to the CPS score (phase 2). Six parameters describing condylar three-dimensional motions were assessed: translational motion from top to bottom (TB), back to front (BF), and left to right (LR), axial rotation (AR), sagittal rotation (SR), frontal rotation (FR), and a total score (TS). There were no significant differences between junior and senior residents in condyle positioning without access to the CPS. Condyles were significantly better positioned during phase 2 with access to the CPS (p<0.001). Over time, use of the CPS (phase 2) produced significantly quicker improvements in scores (p = 0.042). For those teaching surgeries to trainees, computer-assisted devices can potentially result in more rapid learning curves than traditional "observations-imitation" models. Use of a CPS by trainees facilitated condylar repositioning that resulted in an accurate occlusal result and avoidance of adverse effects on the temporomandibular joint.

Abstract
We describe a case of extensively comminuted mandibular fracture that extends bilaterally to the angle of mandible successfully treated with the use of condylar positioning device (CPD). This simple, yet effective, technique that almost exclusively described in orthognathic surgery is useful when advance surgical techniques such as pre- or intraoperative landmark identification may not be readily available. CPD technique optimizes the manual manipulations of the comminuted distal segments during fracture reduction and internal fixation. At the same time, it allows greater control of the proximal segments to avoid further surgical complication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Reproduction of the exact preoperative proximal-mandible position after osteotomy in orthognathic surgery is difficult to achieve. This clinical pilot study evaluated an electromagnetic (EM) navigation system for condylar positioning after high-oblique sagittal split osteotomy (HSSO). STUDY DESIGN After HSSO as part of 2-jaw surgery, the position of 10 condyles was intraoperatively guided by an EM navigation system. As controls, 10 proximal segments were positioned by standard manual replacement. Accuracy was measured by pre- and postoperative cone beam computed tomography imaging. RESULTS Overall, EM condyle repositioning was equally accurate compared with manual repositioning (P > .05). Subdivided into 3 axes, significant differences could be identified (P < .05). Nevertheless, no significantly and clinically relevant dislocations of the proximal segment of either the EM or the manual repositioning method could be shown (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS This pilot study introduces a guided method for proximal segment positioning after HSSO by applying the intraoperative EM system. The data demonstrate the high accuracy of EM navigation, although manual replacement of the condyles could not be surpassed. However, EM navigation can avoid clinically hidden, severe malpositioning of the condyles.

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

The aim of this study is to record the prevalence of TMDs in patients scheduled for orthognathic surgery, reporting the development of TMDs and symptoms during the entire period of the treatment, and demonstrating the benefits of a team effort on this population. Materials and Methods: Assessment of temporomandibular status was performed using the RDC/TMD criteria at T0 (prior to orthodontic therapy), T1 (3 months after the surgery), and T2 post-therapeutic cycle (6 to 12 months postoperatively). A total of 76 participants were included in the study; all the patients underwent surgical treatment: 12 had bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, 6 with condylar position devices; 64 had Le Fort I + bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, and 15 with condylar position devices. Results were evaluated with a paired-sample t-test and segmentation analysis. Results: Forty-seven patients were affected by TMDs. At T0, 25 patients experienced TMJ pain, 27 had muscular pain, 31 suffered headaches, 42 had disc dislocation with reduction, and 5 were affected by disc dislocation without reduction. Thirty-five patients had occlusal signs of parafunctions, 8 reported tinnitus, and 7 dizziness. At T1, TMJ pain changed from 33.3% to 4.44%, muscular pain changed from 35.5% to 11.1%, headaches improved from 40% to 6.67%, and disc dislocation from 55.2% to 17.7%. Segmentation analysis highlighted improvement after therapy; 57 patients were considered recovered, 14 improved, none were considered stable, whereas 5 patients demonstrated some worsening, 3 of whom had not presented disc dislocation before surgery. At T2, 71 patients were considered completely recovered or improved. Conclusions: Our data indicates beyond any doubt that both functional status and pain levels related to TMDs can be significantly improved with a multi-disciplinary approach. We concluded that surgeon's intervention need to be modified in the presence of presurgical TMDs.

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.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Modifications of the temporomandibular joint position after mandible osteotomy are reluctantly accepted in orthognathic surgery. To tackle this problem, we developed a new navigation system using miniaturized electromagnetic sensors. Our imageless navigation approach is therefore optimized to avoid complications of previously proposed optical approaches such as the interference with established surgical procedures and the line of sight problem. MATERIAL AND METHODS High oblique sagittal split osteotomies were performed on 6 plastic skull mandibles in a laboratory under conditions comparable to the operating theatre. The subsequent condyle reposition was guided by an intuitive user interface and performed by electromagnetic navigation. To prove the suitability and accuracy of this novel approach for condyle navigation, the positions of 3 titanium marker screws placed on each of the proximal segments were compared using pre- and postoperative Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging. RESULTS Guided by the electromagnetic navigation system, positioning of the condyles was highly accurate in all dimensions. Translational discrepancies up to 0,65 mm and rotations up to 0,38° in mean could be measured postoperatively. There were no statistically significant differences between navigation results and CBCT measurements. CONCLUSION The intuitive user interface provides a simple way to precisely restore the initial position and orientation of the proximal mandibular segments. Our electromagnetic navigation system therefore yields a promising approach for orthognathic surgery applications.
