[PMID: 39238991 PMCID: PMC11374265 DOI: 10.1097/ms9.0000000000002386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to test a prototype device called occlusal force diagnostic system in relation to occlusal force adaptation following orthognathic surgery. Methods Retrospective study of 10 patients scheduled for a bimaxillary osteotomy involving a combination of maxillary Le Fort I impaction procedure coupled with a sagittal split advancement of the mandible; in a 3 years follow-up period. Results The selection of examiner is not a variable that affects the occlusal force (N) measured by FSS sensors in any of the experimental conditions tested. The sensor position and the surgery recovery time affect the occlusal force irrespective of the examiner selection and/or the surgery recovery time. Conclusion The piezoelectric sensors used in the present study have shown high reliability and validity of measurement. The surgery recovery time impacts the occlusal force (N), with a 50% increase in occlusal force (N) measured after 6 months post-surgery, with the value keeping stable at 36 months. This suggests that the patient is only fully recovered from the functional point-of-view at 6 months, having from that point on an improved and stable masticatory function.

Aesthetic Plast Surg 2024:10.1007/s00266-024-04309-2. [PMID: 39187590 DOI: 10.1007/s00266-024-04309-2] [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: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to quantitatively evaluate morphological and volumetric changes in the masseter muscle using 3-dimensional analysis of facial asymmetry patients and to identify factors influencing these changes before and after orthognathic surgery. METHODS [Reviewer1 (2)]A single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted on twenty-two patients with deviation of the chin > 4 mm. Masseter muscle volume and morphology were measured at different periods during long-term follow-up (mean 15 ± 3.2 months). Factors related to changes in masseter muscle cross-sectional area and volume analyzed were also analyzed. RESULTS [Reviewer1 (2) and (9)]The volume and cross-sectional area of the masseter muscle on the non-deviated side reduced by 13.5% (P < 0.05) and 16.4% (P < 0.05), respectively, after orthognathic surgery. The length of the masseter muscle increased by 13.9% on the deviated side (P < .05) but decreased by 11.7% on the non-deviated side (P < 0.05). The width decreased on the deviated side from T1 to T2 (13.51 ± 2.09 mm vs. 12.04 ± 1.39 mm), but the non-deviated side showed an opposite tendency (10.81 ± 1.31 mm vs. 12.69 ± 2.37 mm). The difference in masseter muscle length and width between the two sides significantly reduced after surgery (P < 0.05). There was a noticeable decrease in the asymmetry in the muscle in proportion to the degree of the occlusal plane angle. CONCLUSION Masseter muscle asymmetry exists in patients with facial asymmetry, but it could be improved with maxilla-mandible correction. Atrophy of the masseter muscle after orthognathic surgery was greater in patients with a large inclined occlusal plane angle due to improved dental compensation.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to systematically review and identify the changes of occlusion in patients after orthognathic surgery. METHODS The protocol was developed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) and was registered to the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) under the registration number CRD42021253129. Studies included were Original articles only, Additionally, studies were included if the outcome of occlusal force was measured pre- and postoperatively and if occlusal forces resulted from a long follow-up of a minimum of 1 year following orthognathic surgery using adequate measurement tools. Non-English articles, case reports, case series, and non-original articles, including systematic reviews and literature reviews, were excluded. RESULTS The search strategy yielded a total of 978 articles. Of the 978 articles, 285 were duplicates. After reading the titles and abstracts, 649 articles were excluded, and full-text articles of the remaining 47 studies were reviewed independently by two authors for eligibility wherein 33 articles were excluded, because they did not meet the inclusion criteria. Finally, a total of 14 studies were processed for critical review. CONCLUSION The occlusal force increased after orthognathic surgery, although not to the level of the control group; however, the maximal bite force remained unchanged. Immediately after orthognathic surgery, chewing and swallowing forces increased. Significant reductions in the postoperative occlusal contact pressure areas was also observed.

Occlusal function and electromyographic activity of masticatory muscles in skeletal Class III patients with different patterns of mandibular asymmetry. J Oral Rehabil 2023; 50:276-285. [PMID: 36597189 DOI: 10.1111/joor.13412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2022] [Revised: 12/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although jaw asymmetry is commonly seen in skeletal Class III patients, its correlation with occlusal function and masticatory muscle activity has not been fully elucidated. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the occlusal function and masticatory muscle activity in skeletal Class III patients with various patterns of mandibular asymmetry. METHODS Forty-two patients and 10 normal participants were examined. The patients were categorised into three groups. Groups 1 and 2 exhibited menton and ramus deviation to the same side. Menton deviation was larger than ramus deviation in Group 1, whereas Group 2 showed the inverse relation. Group 3 patients showed menton and ramus deviation in opposite directions. Occlusal contact area (OCA), relative bite force (RBF), and temporalis anterior (TA) and masseter muscle (MM) activity at maximum clenching were measured using T-Scan Novus system and Bio-EMG-III. Statistical analysis was performed using the t-test, one-way analysis of variance with Bonferroni correction and Spearman correlation (α = .05). RESULTS Compared with normal participants, the patients had smaller OCA and greater asymmetry in the distribution of masticatory muscle activity. Greater ramus deviation was associated with smaller OCA in Group 1 but with larger OCA in Group 3. In Group 1, greater menton deviation was related to stronger TA activity on the non-deviation side. In Group 2, greater ramus deviation was related to stronger MM activity on the deviation side. CONCLUSION Deviation of the menton and ramus was individually related to OCA and masticatory muscle activity, and this relationship varied according to the pattern of mandibular asymmetry.

Abstract
Background The purpose of the current study was to investigate factors related to morphological changes in the masseter muscle after preoperative orthodontic treatment in patients with skeletal class III dentofacial deformities for analysis of muscle changes and malocclusions. Methods Twenty female patients with dentofacial deformities were included in the study. Computed tomography was performed before and after preoperative orthodontic treatment, and the lengths, widths, and cross-sectional areas of the masseter muscles were measured. Changes in these parameters were evaluated, and factors related to changes in masseter muscle area after preoperative orthodontic treatment were analyzed. Results The lengths, widths, and areas of masseter muscles were significantly smaller after preoperative orthodontic treatment. Smaller masseter muscle area was significantly associated with changes in overbite and pretreatment values of SNA angle. Conclusions Atrophy of the masseter muscle during preoperative orthodontic treatment was greater in patients with increased open bite due to improved dental compensation in patients with skeletal class III dentofacial deformities with maxillary retraction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study compared changes in occlusal characteristics in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion with surgery-first approach (SFA) and those with orthodontic-first approach (OFA) through digital occlusal analysis. METHODS In this prospective study, 90 consecutive subjects were divided into control, OFA, and SFA groups (30 per group). Force discrepancy, occlusal time, tooth contact, center of force, and force-time graph pattern were calculated for all samples using the T-Scan III system. Between-group differences were analyzed using a 1-way analysis of variance and generalized estimating equations. These parameters were calculated at the following time points: preoperatively, 1-month postoperatively (T1), 4-months postoperatively, and 1-year postoperatively (T3). RESULTS No significant differences were observed in the parameters between the experimental groups. The force discrepancy of the OFA and SFA groups decreased, approaching the value of controls at T3. The occlusal time significantly increased at T1 and progressively decreased at T3. The initial contact and maximum force were most frequently observed on molars, and its maximum force significantly decreased by 5.72% and 7.40% in the OFA and SFA groups at T3, respectively. The number of tooth contact was significantly reduced at T1 and gradually increased at T3. Moreover, after surgery, the force-time graph pattern was normalized, and the center of force tended to be more centric; however, the most frequent trajectory revealed premature contact during closing. CONCLUSIONS No significant difference was found in all parameters between the OFA and SFA groups. Occlusion deteriorated at 1 month postoperatively but gradually improved at 1 year postoperatively, approaching the controls.

Abstract
Objective The objectives of this study were to compare the time-dependent changes in occlusal contact area (OCA) and bite force (BF) of the deviated and non-deviated sides in mandibular prognathic patients with mandibular asymmetry before and after orthognathic surgery and investigate the factors associated with the changes in OCA and BF on each side. Methods The sample consisted of 67 patients (33 men and 34 women; age range 15-36 years) with facial asymmetry who underwent 2-jaw orthognathic surgery. OCA and BF were taken before presurgical orthodontic treatment, within 1 month before surgery, and 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after surgery. OCA and BF were measured using the Dental Prescale System. Results The OCA and BF decreased gradually before surgery and increased after surgery on both sides. The OCA and BF were significantly greater on the deviated side than on the non-deviated side before surgery, and there was no difference after surgery. According to the linear mixed-effect model, only the changes in the mandibular plane angle had a significant effect on BF (p < 0.05). Conclusions There was a difference in the amount of the OCA and BF between the deviated and non-deviated sides before surgery. The change in mandibular plane angle affects the change, especially on the non-deviated side, during the observation period.

J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2020; 48:477-482. [PMID: 32229178 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2020.02.021] [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: 12/24/2019] [Revised: 02/04/2020] [Accepted: 02/24/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in the mandibular border movement between class II and class III jaw deformity patients before and after orthognathic surgery, by using the same device. SUBJECTS and Methods: Eighty one patients (28 in class II and 53 in class III) who underwent sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) with Le Fort I osteotomy using absorbable plate fixation and 27 controls with normal occlusion were enrolled. Mandibular border movement (observed using a kinesiograph) was recorded with a mandibular movement measure system (K7) before surgery, and at 6 months and 1 year after surgery. Time-course changes of 5 components of the mandibular border movement (MVO: Maximum vertical opening, CO to MAP: Maximum antero-posterior movement from centric occlusion, MLDL: maximum lateral deviation left, MLDR: maximum lateral deviation right, CO to MO: centric occlusion to maximum opening) were compared between classes II, III and controls statistically. The relationship between lateral cephalometric measurements and the components of mandibular border movement was also examined. RESULTS There was a significant difference in CO to MAP (P = 0.0025) and CO to MO (P < 0.0001) between class II and class III in the time-course change. In class III, mean and standard deviation of MVO were 44.5 ± 6.7 mm before surgery and 39.8 ± 6.8 mm after 1 year. Mean and standard deviation of CO to MAP were 25.2 ± 6.8 mm before surgery and 21.5 ± 7.9 mm after 1 year. Mean and standard deviation of CO to MO were 53.4 ± 9.0 mm before surgery and 47.3 ± 8.4 mm after 1 year. In class II, mean and standard deviation of MVO were 38.8 ± 5.8 mm before surgery and 36.2 ± 7.4 mm after 1 year. Mean and standard deviation of CO to MAP were 18.0 ± 6.3 mm before surgery and 17.8 ± 7.4 mm after 1 year. Mean and standard deviation of CO to MO were 43.1 ± 7.5 mm before surgery and 39.6 ± 10.5 mm after 1 year. In MVO, CO to MAP and CO to MO, the values after 1 year did not significantly reach the pre-operative values in class III (P = 0.0001, P = 0.0007 and P < 0.0001), although there was no significant difference between pre-operation and after 1 year in class II. In CO to MO, class II (mean and standard deviation 39.6 ± 10.5 mm) and class III (mean and standard deviation 47.3 ± 8.4 mm) still remained smaller values than control (mean and standard deviation 52.7 ± 9.2 mm) after 1 year (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.0095). CONCLUSION This study suggests that bi-maxillary surgery can have more influence on the reduction in the range of mandibular border movement including vertical or antero-posterior motion than lateral deviation motion, in both groups. The difference in the time-course change in the mandibular border movement between the groups might depend more on the mandibular length than on the movement direction of the mandible by surgery such as advancement or setback.

Abstract
Objectives The esthetic and functional results of orthognathic surgery of severe dentofacial deformities are predictable, however there are differences regarding the effects on stomatognathic system. The aim was to investigate the effects of orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) on the masticatory function in individuals with dentofacial deformity submitted to orthognathic surgery (OGS). Material and Methods Forty-eight individuals (18-40 years) were evaluated, 14 undergoing OMT (treated group-TG), 10 without this treatment (untreated group-UTG) and 24 in a control group with normal occlusion; for clinical aspects the data of an individual was missed (n=46). Chewing was performed using the Expanded protocol of orofacial myofunctional evaluation with scores (OMES-E). Muscle tone and mobility were also analyzed before (P0), three (P1) and six months (P2) after OGS. Surface electromyography of the masseter and temporalis muscles was performed, considering the parameters amplitude and duration of act and cycle, and the number of masticatory cycles. The OMT consisted of ten therapeutic sessions along the postoperative period. The results were compared using parametric and non-parametric tests. Results TG showed higher scores in P1 and P2 than P0; for the masticatory type the scores in P2 were significantly higher than P0. In addition, the proportion of individuals with adequate tone of lower lip and adequate tongue mobility for TG increased significantly from P1 and P2 in relation to P0. The EMG results showed a decrease in act and cycle duration in P2 in relation to P0 and P1 for the TG; furthermore the values were close to controls. An increase in the number of cycles from P0 to P2 was also observed, indicating faster chewing, which may be attributed to an improvement of balanced occlusion associated with OMT. Conclusion There were positive effects of OMT on the clinical and electromyography aspects of chewing in individual submitted to orthognathic surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the current study is to compare intersegmental displacements after mandibular setback sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) using 4 types of osteosynthesis methods. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a retrospective study of 53 subjects who presented underwent bilateral setback SSRO at Pusan National University Hospital from January 2009 to December 2013. The subjects were divided into 4 groups according to the osteosynthesis method applied: group A-modified L-type monocortical plate; B-conventional miniplate; group C-bicortical screws; group D-metal and absorbable screws. To obtain the intersegmental displacement, the mean of the differences of the 3-dimensional from T0 (2 days after surgery) to T1 (6 months after surgery) was calculated for the right and left condylar heads (condylion, Cd) and the right and left coronoid processes (Cps) using 3-dimensional imaging software (Ondemand 3D; Cybermed Co, Seoul, Korea). RESULTS For the condylion in the x, y, z coordinate system, in group A, there were significant differences in the y-axis for the right and left Cd; in group B, significant differences in the y-axis for the right Cd and in the y- and z-axes for the left Cd; in group C, no significant differences in the axis for the Cd; and in group D, there were significant differences in the y- and z-axes for the right Cd and in the x- and y-axes for the left Cd. For the Cps, the results are not much different from the condylion movement in all group. CONCLUSION In the current study, group C manifested the greatest displacement for the healing period. Group A did not show the significant difference to group B. In view of these results, modified L-shaped monocortical plate can be applied for osteosynthesis effectively.

Abstract
Patients requesting treatment for mandibular prognathism seek functional and aesthetic improvements. Improvements in bite force and efficiency are generally used as measures of better function. It is unclear what effect the surgical correction of mandibular prognathism will have on the patient's occlusal forces. The literature was searched using medical subject heading (MeSH) and key word terms 'bite force', 'osteotomy', 'orthognathic surgery', and 'prognathism'. A total of 17 articles were included in this review. These included a total of 697 patients, who ranged in age from 15 to 44 years. Male patients outnumbered female patients in only one study. Five hundred and thirty-two patients underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, 108 patients underwent intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy, and 24 patients underwent extraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (approach unspecified). In general, masticatory efficiency at 3 months after surgery was greater than that found pre-surgically; the increase was significant at 6 months after surgery. The occlusal contact area and points tended to increase from 3 months after surgery, and there was a significant increase at 12 months after surgery. Occlusal forces, although improved, will be lower in corrected prognathic patients than in normognathic patients even at 2 years after surgery.

Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2017; 46:554-563. [PMID: 28174061 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2017.01.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2016] [Revised: 12/12/2016] [Accepted: 01/09/2017] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
The objective of this systematic review was to examine the effect of orthognathic surgery (OS) on the temporomandibular joint and oral function. Electronic databases were systematically searched for studies published until October 2015. Articles were assessed against predefined inclusion criteria. The included papers were divided into four groups based on the type of OS performed. The following items were recorded: quality of evidence using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based medicine (CEBM) criteria, number of patients, presence/absence of controls, mean age at treatment, follow-up time, clinical examination findings, bite force, use of the Helkimo Index and Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders, imaging findings, and patient questionnaire results. A total of 4669 articles were identified; 76 relevant articles were included in the review. These studies assessed a total 3399 patients and 380 controls, with a mean age of 25.4 years. The great variety of OS techniques, examination techniques, diagnostic criteria, and imaging techniques used in the articles studied, as well as the quality of the study designs, made it difficult to compare studies and to draw conclusions. However, looking at the different aspects studied in general, it can be stated that OS seems to have little or no harmful effect on the TMJ and oral function (level of evidence: levels II, III, and IV).

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the postoperative changes in masticatory function in patients with jaw deformities with or without asymmetry treated by orthognathic surgery. Thirty female patients who underwent a Le Fort I osteotomy with sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) were enrolled. The patients were divided into symmetry and asymmetry groups. The bite force, occlusal contact area, and bite force balance were measured before and at 1, 3, and 6 months and 1 year after surgery; these measurements were compared statistically within and between the two groups. In the symmetry group, there was a significant difference in the preoperative bite force and the 1 month postoperative bite force (P=0.0033). In the asymmetry group, the bite force before surgery was significantly different from that at 1 month (P=0.0375) and at 1 year (P=0.0353) after surgery. Significant differences in the bite force were also observed between the following time points: 1 month and 1 year (P=0.0003), 3 months and 1 year (P=0.0034), and 1 month and 6 months (P=0.0486). The occlusal contact area, bite force, and occlusal balance tended to change after Le Fort I osteotomy with SSRO, with a significantly improved bite force in patients with asymmetry before surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between lip closing force, occlusal contact area and occlusal force after orthognathic surgery in skeletal Class III patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The subjects consisted of 54 patients (28 female and 26 male) diagnosed with mandibular prognathism who underwent sagittal split ramus osteotomy with and without Le Fort I osteotomy. Maximum and minimum lip closing forces, occlusal contact area and occlusal force were measured pre-operatively, 6 months and 1 year post-operative. RESULTS Maximum and minimum lip closing forces, occlusal contact area and occlusal force increased with time after surgery, however a significant increase was not found in the occlusal contact area in women. In increased ratio (6 months/pre-operative and 1 year/pre-operative), the maximum lip closing force was significantly correlated with the occlusal contact area (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS This study suggested that orthognathic surgery could improve the occlusal force, contact area and lip closing force, and an increase ratio in maximum lip closing force was associated with an increased ratio in occlusal contact area.

Biomechanical evaluation of magnesium-based resorbable metallic screw system in a bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy model using three-dimensional finite element analysis. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2013; 72:402.e1-13.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution of a magnesium (Mg)-based resorbable screw system in a bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSO) and to compare its biomechanical stability with those of titanium (Ti)-based and polymer (IN)-based systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 3-dimensional BSSO model (10-mm advancement and setback) was constructed with Mimics. Bicortical screw fixation using Ti, IN, and Mg screws was performed with 4 different geometries of fixation. With an occlusal load of 132 N on the lower first molar, the von Mises stress (VMS) distribution was calculated using ANSYS. RESULTS The VMS distribution of Mg was more similar to that of Ti than to that of IN. In all cases, the highest VMS was concentrated on the screw at the most posterior and superior area. Stress was distributed mainly around the screw holes (cancellous bone) and the retromolar area (cortical bone). In the advancement surgery, fixation with 5 Mg screws (5A-Mg, 99.810 MPa at cortical bone) showed biomechanical stability, whereas fixation with the same number of IN screws did not (5A-IN, 109.021 MPa at cortical bone). In the setback surgery, although the maximum VMSs at cortical bone for Mg, IN, and Ti were lower than 108 MPa (yield strength of cortical bone), Mg screws showed more favorable results than IN screws because the maximum VMSs of Mg at cancellous bone were lower than those of IN. CONCLUSION The Mg-based resorbable screw system is a promising alternative to the IN-based system.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare intersegmental displacements after mandibular setback sagittal split ramus osteotomy with reference to the fixation system applied: miniplate with monocortical screw, 3 bicortical screws, and 1 bicortical screw and 2 resorbable screws. MATERIALS AND METHODS The 42 subjects were divided into 3 groups according to the osteosynthesis method applied. To evaluate the intersegmental displacements from immediately after surgery (T0) to 6 months after surgery (T1), 2 cone-beam computed tomographic data sets were superimposed on the symphyseal area and the lower part of the mandible below the root apex. On the superimposed 3-dimensional images, the mean and standard deviation of the differences of the coordinates (x, y, z) between T0 and T1 were calculated. RESULTS From T0 to T1, group B (bicortical screws) manifested the greatest condylion (Cd) and coronoid process (Cp) displacements (P < .05). In group A, the right Cd moved anteriorly and the left Cd moved anteriorly and inferiorly, whereas the right and left Cps moved anteriorly. In group B, the right and left Cps moved laterally and inferiorly. In group C, the right Cd moved anteriorly and inferiorly, the left Cd changed laterally and anteriorly, the right Cp moved anteriorly, and the left Cp moved anteriorly and inferiorly. CONCLUSIONS In the present study, group B (bicortical screws) showed the greatest displacement after the healing period. In view of these findings, surgeons should consider carefully their choice of osteosynthesis method to effectively decrease intersegmental displacement.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the influence of orthognathic surgery on patients' stomatognathic function and, further, to evaluate how post-treatment function relates to satisfaction. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 118 adult patients (51 men and 67 women) who were treated with orthognathic surgery were examined before and a minimum of 12 months after the surgical intervention. The stomatognathic function was evaluated with Helkimo's Anamnestic and Clinical Dysfunction index. The former was also used to assess a control group of 47 individuals with the same age and gender distribution and with no history of or present need for orthodontic treatment. RESULTS A total of 76 patients (64.4%) reported severe dysfunction at the beginning of the treatment, and 24 patients (20.3%) reported severe dysfunction at the end of the treatment. Clinical assessment showed that 36 patients (30.5%) had severe dysfunction symptoms upon inclusion versus only 5 (4.2%) at the final examination. However, 3 patients (2.5%) without clinical dysfunction at the time of inclusion developed mild dysfunction during treatment, and 8 patients (6.8%) developed increased dysfunction during treatment. The patients' functional status after treatment and their degree of satisfaction with the treatment were positively correlated. Although a general improvement was verified, the functional status of those who were treated never reached that of the control group. CONCLUSION This study indicates that orthognathic surgery improves patients' stomatognathic function in most cases, and that patients' satisfaction correlated with perceived, reported, and measured function at the end of the treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate morphologic characteristics of occlusion (contact points, contact areas, and frequency of contact) in clinically successful patients 1 year after orthodontic and surgical-orthodontic therapy followed by passive retention. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-two orthodontic and 18 surgical-orthodontic patients were analyzed. All patients were treated with standard edgewise technique by the same orthodontist. Contact points and areas were evaluated using a new method of digital image analysis of occlusal impressions. Polivinylsyloxan impressions were taken, scanned, and turned into gray-scale images. The physic relationship of light absorbance through the polivinylsyloxan for known thickness was calculated to determine contact areas (less than 50 microm of thickness) and near contact areas (less than 350 microm of thickness). RESULTS The contact area was significantly larger in the orthodontic than in the surgical-orthodontic patients (Student's t-test, P < .05). The surgical-orthodontic group had significantly fewer contact points than the orthodontic group only at 150 microm of thickness. In both groups of patients, the first molar had the largest contact surface. Occlusal support was distributed mainly in the posterior regions with an important role involving the first molars. CONCLUSION Surgical-orthodontic patients appear to have smaller contact surfaces and fewer contact points than orthodontic patients do. However, there were no differences in the number of teeth in contact with opposing teeth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Surgical mandibular advancement influences the biomechanics of the mandible and as a result may provoke relapse. In this study, the adaptation of the masseter (MAS) and medial pterygoid muscles (MPM) after surgical mandibular advancement was evaluated. STUDY DESIGN Of 12 patients with mandibular retrognathia and varying vertical craniofacial morphology, axial and 30 degrees angulated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan series were taken preoperatively and 10 to 48 months postoperatively. Using cluster analysis, subjects were assigned to a long-face (LF) and a short-face (SF) cluster. Subsequently, preoperative and postoperative maximum cross-sectional areas and volumes of the MAS and MPM were compared in these groups. RESULTS The cross-sectional area and volume of the MAS decreased significantly in both the SF and LF cluster (up to 18%). Although not significantly, this phenomenon tended to be more pronounced in LF patients. The cross-sectional area of the MPM showed less adaptation. CONCLUSION The jaw-closing muscles become significantly smaller after surgical mandibular advancement, irrespective of the vertical craniofacial type.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences in bite force changes and occlusal contacts after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) and intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) with and without Le Fort I osteotomy. Sixty female patients with diagnosed mandibular prognathism with or without asymmetry were divided into four groups (SSRO, IVRO, SSRO with Le Fort I osteotomy and IVRO with Le Fort I osteotomy). Bite force and occlusal contacts were measured preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery with pressure-sensitive sheets. The differences among surgical procedures were examined statistically. Maximum bite force and occlusal contacts returned to preoperative levels after between 3 and 6 months. Regarding time-dependent changes in bite force and occlusal contact area, there were no significant differences among the groups. In conclusion, this study suggests that the combination of IVRO or SSRO and Le Fort I osteotomy does not affect postoperative time-dependent changes.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was designed to investigate the changes in stomatognathic function through orthognathic treatment in patients with mandibular prognathism. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-six patients with mandibular prognathism were tested and compared with 30 healthy controls with normal occlusion. For each subject, the occlusal contact area and occlusal force were measured during maximum voluntary clenching (MVC). Activities of the masseter and temporalis muscles were recorded during MVC and voluntary gum chewing. Jaw movement was analyzed during chewing on the left and right sides. For the analyses, 2 parameters, asymmetry index (AI) and error index (EI), were established to further investigate the nature of masticatory function. AI was used to evaluate the bilateral balance of masticatory muscle activity, and EI indicates the rate of abnormal jaw movement pattern. RESULTS In patients with mandibular prognathism, the occlusal contact area and maximum bite force decreased before surgery, and increased after surgery. The masseter and temporal muscle activities also decreased before surgery, but showed no substantial increase even after surgery. The occlusal and muscle efficiency exhibited significantly smaller values in the patient group than in the controls, irrespective of treatment stages. The AI decreased after surgery. The EI decreased significantly after surgery, but was still significantly greater in the patient group than in the controls. CONCLUSIONS It is suggested that masticatory muscles in the patients with mandibular prognathism may adapt to the new environment achieved with surgically corrected dentofacial structure, although the activities remain at lower levels as compared with the controls.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to determine the modifications in masseter muscle thickness before and after interdisciplinary orthodontic, oromyofunctional and surgical treatment of class III dentofacial skeletal deformities (DFSD). DESIGN Fifteen patients with class III DFSD participated in the study, denoted P1 group before the interdisciplinary treatment and P2 group (same patients) 6-8 months after surgery. Fifteen individuals with no DFSD were used as the control group. Bilateral ultrasonography (US) of the masseter muscle under resting and biting conditions was performed in the three groups. RESULTS There was a significant difference (P<0.01) for all muscles tested between the control, P1 and P2 groups, with greater thickness for controls, intermediate thickness for P2, and the lowest thickness for P1 in all situations evaluated. CONCLUSION We conclude that there was an increase in masseter muscle thickness after surgical correction of DFSD accompanied by interdisciplinary treatment, although the values were still lower than those observed in the control group.

Abstract
PURPOSE Previous studies have shown that patients with mandibular retrognathism who were scheduled for orthognathic surgery have a lower maximum bite force and an impaired chewing performance. Surgical correction of this deformity is supposed to lead to an improvement of these oral functions. One year after surgery, no significant changes could be shown in these patients. However, a longer follow-up might demonstrate an improvement after all. PATIENTS AND METHODS Maximum bite force and chewing performance were determined in 12 patients with a mandibular retrognathism before mandibular advancement surgery and at least 5 years after surgery. Chewing performance (median particle size) was determined with a sieving method after chewing 15 strokes on an artificial test food. Maximum bite force was recorded bilaterally at the level of the first molars. RESULTS Five years after surgery, chewing performance was improved, especially in patients with a poor performance before treatment. An increase of the maximum bite force could not be shown. CONCLUSION Surgical correction of mandibular retrognathism had a positive effect on oral function 5 years after surgery, although it could not be detected 1 year after surgery. However, the function of the masticatory system was still impaired when compared with controls.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine changes in bite force and occlusal contact area after mandibular widening by distraction osteogenesis using pressure-sensitive sheet (Dental-Prescale; Fuji Photo Film, Tokyo, Japan). STUDY DESIGN Fifteen patients with transverse mandibular deficiency (6 to 9 mm, mean distraction interval: 8 mm) were examined. They were measured just before the operation and at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after the operation. Ten control subjects with normal occlusion were also measured. RESULTS Both bite force and occlusal contact area were lowest at 1 month postoperatively. The values of bite force and occlusal contact area steadily increased thereafter. The bite force and occlusal contact area reached to the preoperative levels at 6 months after operation and slightly above the preoperative level at 12 months after operation. There were no statistically significant differences between 12 months and the control values for bite force measurements (P > .05). CONCLUSION Although statistically not significant, this study suggests that mandibular symphyseal distraction osteogenesis increases the bite force and occlusal contact area in patients with transverse mandibular deficiency.

Abstract
PURPOSE Titanium plates and monocortical screws are commonly used to stabilize the mandible following sagittal split ramus osteotomies. Despite widespread use of this type of fixation, there is a paucity of large studies evaluating the infection rate and need for hardware removal. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study is a retrospective cohort evaluation of 1,066 consecutive mandibular sagittal ramus osteotomies in 533 patients, performed between January 2002 and December 2003. All osteotomies were stabilized with 4-hole miniplates and 2.0 mm x 5.0 mm monocortical screws. Study variables included disturbances of wound healing, age, gender, plate and screw position, direction of mandibular movement, adjunctive procedures performed, and the patient's medical history. Data were collected by chart and radiographic review. The above variables were analyzed using Fisher's exact test, Chi-square, Cochran-Armitage Trend Test, and multiple logistic regression. RESULTS Of 533 patients 26% (138) demonstrated wound healing problems. This occurred in 15% of all 1,066 osteotomy sites. 6.5% of plates required removal in 10% of patients. In no case did disturbance of wound healing or plate removal result in non-union or relapse of the osteotomy. Wound healing problems were fewer when mandibular osteotomies were done in conjunction with maxillary surgery (18.9% versus 29.1%). Disturbances of wound healing were not related to the direction of movement of the mandible and were lower when hardware was placed closer to the inferior border. CONCLUSION An overall low incidence (6.5%) of hardware infection requiring plate removal was found in this study. Screw proximity to the osteotomy site did not correlate with higher rates of healing problems, but there was a statistically significant trend of fewer disturbances of healing when the hardware was placed closer to the inferior border of the mandible.

Abstract
Individuals with dentofacial deformities present changes in masticatory muscles. The objective of the present study was to determine the influence of interdisciplinary treatment in cases of class III dentofacial deformities regarding the EMG activity of the temporal (T) and masseter (M) muscles. The study was conducted on 15 patients with class III dentofacial deformities who were submitted to orthodontic, oromyofunctional and surgical treatment and assigned to groups P1 (before surgery) and P2 (6-9 months after surgery). Fifteen individuals with no alterations in facial morphology or dental occlusion and without signs or symptoms of temporomandibular joint dysfunction were used as controls (CG). The T and M muscles were submitted to EMG bilaterally in the situations of mastication and mastication plus biting, with analysis of amplitude interval and root mean square. For all muscles tested, there was a difference between CG, P1 and P2; CG was higher than P2 and P2 higher than P1 in all situations assessed. We conclude that there was an increase in EMG activity in the T and M muscles after surgical correction of the dentofacial deformity accompanied by interdisciplinary treatment, although the values were still lower than those obtained for CG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neutrophils undergo rapid Fas-mediated apoptosis during in vitro culture. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of surgical stress upon the Fas-mediated apoptotic response in circulating neutrophils. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood samples were drawn from eight patients with a mandibular prognathism, and who had undergone a bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy, at 2 days before, and at 1 and 5 days after surgery. The circulating neutrophils in each blood sample were then evaluated for their susceptibility to Fas-mediated apoptosis in either the presence or the absence of autogenous plasma. RESULTS Fas-induced apoptosis in the neutrophils of these surgically treated patients was found to be slightly accelerated at 1 day postoperatively in the presence of FBS, compared with 2 days preoperatively and 5 days postoperatively. However, we obtained different results for these experiments in the presence of autogenous plasma. The Fas-induced apoptotic response levels in the neutrophils at day 1 postsurgery following exposure to autogenous plasma were significantly suppressed compared with the levels at both 2 days preoperatively and 5 days postoperatively. The Fas expression levels on the cell surface of the neutrophils were not altered, but the levels of soluble Fas (sFas) in the plasma were reduced to almost inverse levels during the postoperative periods. The levels of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8 levels in the plasma were also markedly raised in the plasma from each of these patients at 1 day postoperatively. However, the anti-apoptotic effects of the plasma on the Fas-mediated neutrophil apoptosis were not influenced by the addition of their neutralizing antibodies for these cytokines. The suppressive effects of postoperative plasma on Fas-mediated neutrophil apoptosis were blocked by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-K) inhibitors, LY294002, and wortmannin. Additionally, these effects were also abrogated by the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) inhibitor, PD98059, but not by the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor, SB203580. CONCLUSIONS The increase in sFas levels in the plasma of patients with acute inflammation may lead to the inhibition of Fas-mediated neutrophil apoptosis. Moreover, the activation of the PI 3-K and ERK signaling-dependent pathways may, in part, also contribute to the down-regulation of the Fas-mediated apoptotic response in neutrophils.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human neutrophils undergo rapid apoptosis during in vitro culture. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of interleukin-8 (IL-8) on neutrophil apoptosis in surgery-induced inflammation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood samples were drawn from 21 patients with mandibular prognathism 2 days before, and 1 and 5 days after orthognathic surgery. The IL-8 levels in the separated plasma were measured using an ELISA kit. The expression of two receptors for IL-8, CXCR1, and CXCR2, and their role in neutrophil apoptosis was evaluated using a flow cytometer. RESULTS The IL-8 levels in the plasma were correlated with acute inflammatory markers, such as peripheral blood neutrophil counts and C-reactive protein levels. Both IL-8 receptors were markedly raised in patient-derived neutrophils 1 day post-operatively. Recombinant IL-8 (0-100 ng/ml) suppressed apoptosis in fresh-isolated neutrophils from healthy donors dose-dependently. Neutrophil apoptosis 1 day post-operatively was slightly accelerated in the presence of fetal bovine serum compared to the value 2 days pre-operatively and 5 days post-operatively. In contrast, in the presence of autogenous plasma, neutrophil apoptosis was significantly suppressed 1 day post-operatively compared to the value 2 days pre-operatively and 5 days post-operatively. Moreover, the anti-apoptotic effect of plasma on neutrophil apoptosis was partially decreased by the addition of anti-IL-8 neutralizing antibody. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that circulating neutrophils are susceptible to augmentation by IL-8 through the reinforcement of IL-8 receptors in acute inflammatory conditions. Furthermore, IL-8 may, in part, contribute to the regulation of neutrophil survival during the inflammatory response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It was previously reported that both pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines are elevated in systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Cytokine-mediated systemic neutrophil activation is a direct consequence of SIRS, and can lead to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). This prospective study assessed the risk of SIRS and MODS after orthognathic surgery by measuring the circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-10 as well as the neutrophil functions as a marker of organ failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood samples for the measurement of IL-6, IL-10, CRP, neutrophil counts, and neutrophil function were drawn from 21 patients with mandibular prognathism at 2 days before, and at 1 and 3 days after orthognathic surgery. The neutrophil function was estimated by superoxide production and elastase release under the stimulation of FMLP. RESULTS Eight of the 21 patients were applicable to SIRS criteria 1 day postoperatively, and all of the subjects were excluded from SIRS criteria 3 days postoperatively. Although IL-6 and IL-10 levels were raised 1 day postoperatively, increased cytokine concentrations were decreased in most patients at 3 days postoperatively. The IL-6 concentration and the ratio of IL-6 to IL-10 were higher in the SIRS-matched group compared with the non-SIRS-matched group. Neutrophil priming for superoxide production and elastase release was discovered 1 day after orthognathic surgery, and differences in those values could not be distinguished between the groups. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that a few patients in whom high levels of circulating inflammatory cytokine and neutrophil-derived toxic factor continue may have a possibility of contracting severe diseases such as SIRS and MODS after orthognathic surgery. We conclude that the ratio of IL-6 to IL-10 may be a predictive factor in SIRS.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between changes in the condylar long axis and the chewing path before and after mandibular ramus osteotomy for patients with prognathism with and without asymmetry. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eleven men and 16 women with mandibular prognathism were divided into groups on the basis of symmetry and osteotomy procedure. Preoperative and postoperative frontal chewing paths were recorded. The chewing path consisted of 4 components: deviated side range, undeviated side range, vertical range, and incisal path angle. The angle of the condylar long axis and the 4 components of the chewing path were compared between groups and the differences were analyzed statistically. RESULTS No significant differences in each of the 4 chewing path components were found between groups on the basis of symmetry or osteotomy procedure. A positive correlation was found between the changes in incisal path angle when chewing on the undeviated side and condylar long axis angle on the undeviated side (P < .05). A positive correlation was also found between the changes in undeviated side range when chewing on the deviated side and condylar long axis angle on the deviated side (P < .05). CONCLUSION This study suggests that surgically induced increase in the condylar long axis is correlated with increase in side range and incisor path angle, although surgical orthodontic treatment does not significantly change the chewing pattern.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mandibular retrognathia is a dentofacial deformity that can be surgically corrected. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of orthognathic surgery on masticatory function in a sample of retrognathic patients and to compare these findings with those of controls. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eleven retrognathic patients were tested before and 1 to 1.5 years after mandibular advancement surgery and compared with 12 controls. The median particle size after chewing a silicon rubber test food, the maximum bite force, and the electromyographic activity (EMG) of the anterior temporalis and the masseter muscles during isometric clenching and during chewing were determined. Patients, before and after treatment, and controls were statistically compared by analysis of variance. RESULTS Surgical correction of mandibular retrognathia did not change chewing efficiency, maximum bite force, EMG during maximal clenching, EMG during chewing, or the EMG/bite-force relationship. Compared with controls, the chewing efficiency, maximum bite force, EMG during maximal clenching, and EMG during chewing values were lower. No difference for the EMG/bite-force ratio at maximal clenching was found, indicating similar muscle efficiency for patients and controls. However, in the range of 10% to 40% of the maximum bite force, the slope of the EMG/bite-force regression line was steeper for the patients than for the controls, indicating decreased muscle efficiency for patients. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest that in retrognathic patients, function of the masticatory system is impaired. Oral function was not influenced by mandibular advancement surgery.

Abstract
In the prognathic (P) patient group clenching at maximal intercuspal position (MIP), we found that the Ar-Go-Me angle is greater than in the control group (C = 120.9 degrees +/- 7 degrees vs. P = 134.4 degrees +/- 5.2 degrees): the same as the masseter fibers angle (alpha). The average EMG voltage class was similar in both groups (C = 1488.5 +/- 303.4 microvolt vs. P = 1317.6 +/- 293.4 microvolt). The mean total number of contact points in tooth arches was greater in the control group than in the patient group (C = 5.77 +/- 0.43 vs. P = 3.07 +/- 0.29), and there was a greater number of contact points between both premolar and molar areas. Both the control group and the patient group showed balanced occlusion in the premolar and molar areas. Therefore the finding of a similar mean EMG value between the control group and the patients emphasizes the importance of balanced contact points in the posterior areas.

Abstract
Investigations of the changes in the mechanics of the craniomandibular system as a result of treatment have been limited by the lack of validated models of this system. The aims of this project were to (1) validate numerical model predictions of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) eminence morphology and muscle forces produced during molar biting and (2) use the validated models to calculate the changes in TMJ and muscle forces as a consequence of treatment involving orthognathic surgery. Ten volunteers participated; their combined orthodontic and orthognathic surgical treatments were completed. Three-dimensional anatomical data from each subject were used in computer models to predict the sagittal TMJ eminence morphology and joint and muscle forces for each subject, consistent with the neuromuscular objectives of minimizing joint loads and muscle effort. The actual shape of the eminence in each subject was measured with jaw tracking. Surface electromyographic recordings were a measure of the muscle forces involved in static molar biting. Model predictions were compared with measured data from the subjects for eminence shape (R(2) = 0.96) and for muscle activity ratios (R(2) = 0.98). The strength of these relationships validated the models for use in calculating changes in joint loads and muscle forces after treatment. The results suggested that the mechanics of the masticatory system are affected by the combined treatments. The TMJ loads increased in 8 subjects. The average increases in condylar and muscle forces were 4% relative to the applied bite force, but in 1 case the increases were up to 20%. Therefore, although average increases in the forces were small, some persons may experience biologically significant increases in joint and muscle forces as a result of treatment.
