Long-term evaluation of condylar positional and volumetric parameters and skeletal stability in Class III bimaxillary orthognathic surgery patients. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024; 53:707-714. [PMID: 38383213 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2024.01.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
This retrospective study examined long-term (4-5 years) condylar positional and volumetric changes and skeletal stability after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery in skeletal Class III patients. Pre-surgical (T0: 0.9 ± 1.1 months) and post-surgical (T1: 0.6 ± 0.7 months; T2: 12.8 ± 3.1 months; T3: 56.5 ± 6.5 months) cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 22 patients were obtained. CBCT multiplanar reformation (MPR) images were generated, and three-dimensional (3D) condylar models were constructed and superimposed to compare changes in condylar volume from pre- to postoperative. Condylar position in the sagittal and coronal planes altered immediately after surgery; however at long-term follow-up, the condyles had returned to their pre-surgical position. The condyles remained slightly inwardly rotated at short-term (-2.6°, 95% confidence interval -3.5° to -1.7°) and long-term (-1.9°, 95% confidence interval -2.8° to -1.0°) follow-up. Changes in condylar volume were insignificant after surgery. Condylar positional changes had no effect on skeletal stability. However, patients with an increased face height prior to surgery and more retrusive jaw position postoperatively were more prone to condylar resorption. Surgical changes remained stable 4-5 years after surgery. In conclusion, condylar position changed insignificantly following surgical correction in Class III patients provided that the correct surgical technique was employed.

Zuo Q, Yang C, Liu Z. Effect of condylar rotation on the stress environment of the temporomandibular joint in patients with mandibular protrusion. JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2024:101997. [PMID: 39084560 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2024.101997] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2024] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The study aims to analyse the effects of condylar rotation on the biomechanical environment of the TMJ after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) through the finite element method (FEM). METHODS Thirteen patients with mandibular prognathism and twenty-three normal subjects were recruited. The three-dimensional (3D) models were reconstructed. 13 representative morphological parameters were measured for comparison. A patient was selected to perform virtual BSSRO surgery by rotating the condyles in MIMICS. The preoperative and postoperative 3D models of the patient were subsequently imported into ABAQUS for finite element analysis. The preoperative and postoperative stresses and joint spaces in the TMJs were investigated. RESULTS The maxillofacial morphologies of the patients with mandibular protrusion was significantly different from those of the asymptomatic subjects (P<.05). Stresses in the postoperative group were lower than those in the preoperative group. The rotation of the condyle could cause the variations in stress levels and joint spaces within the TMJs. Inward and upward rotation of the condyle was associated with higher stress in the TMJ, whereas the lowest stress was observed when the condyle remained stationary following surgical intervention. SIGNIFICANCE Lateral, medial and superior joint spaces were more related to the stresses in the TMJs. The condyle should be kept in place as much as possible to avoid disrupting the balance of the TMJ in patients with mandibular protrusion.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the pre- and post-operative temporomandibular joint (TMJ) condylar position in dentofacial deformity (DFD) patients who had orthognathic surgeries using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). A retrospective study evaluating the pre- and post-operative CBCT for 79 DFD patients (equivalent to 158 TMJs) (mean age = 26.62 ± 9.5 years) with a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy with or without Le Fort I surgeries (n = 29 Class II DFD, n = 50 Class III DFD) was performed. This included the compartmental measurement of TMJ spaces, in addition to the measurement of intercondylar distances and angles. Condylar position centricity was assessed using the Pullinger and Hollender formula. Clinical data were analysed for DFD class, the type of surgery and post-operative CBCT timing. Pre- and post-operative measurements were compared statistically using a paired t-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and Stuart-Maxwell test. TMJ condyles tended to relocate post-operatively in a posterosuperior position with internal rotation in Class II DFD and a superior position with internal rotation in Class III DFD. However, the overall changes were within <0.5 mm translation and <4° rotation and the number of concentrically positioned condyles (according to the Pullinger and Hollender formula) did not change significantly. Orthognathic surgery is associated with minor post-operative translational and rotational condylar positional changes in Class II and III DFDs.

An automated method for assessing condyle head changes in patients with skeletal class II malocclusion based on Cone-beam CT images. Dentomaxillofac Radiol 2024; 53:325-335. [PMID: 38696751 PMCID: PMC11211682 DOI: 10.1093/dmfr/twae017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Currently, there is no reliable automated measurement method to study the changes in the condylar process after orthognathic surgery. Therefore, this study proposes an automated method to measure condylar changes in patients with skeletal class II malocclusion following surgical-orthodontic treatment. METHODS Cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans from 48 patients were segmented using the nnU-Net network for automated maxillary and mandibular delineation. Regions unaffected by orthognathic surgery were selectively cropped. Automated registration yielded condylar displacement and volume calculations, each repeated three times for precision. Logistic regression and linear regression were used to analyse the correlation between condylar position changes at different time points. RESULTS The Dice score for the automated segmentation of the condyle was 0.971. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for all repeated measurements ranged from 0.93 to 1.00. The results of the automated measurement showed that 83.33% of patients exhibited condylar resorption occurring six months or more after surgery. Logistic regression and linear regression indicated a positive correlation between counterclockwise rotation in the pitch plane and condylar resorption (P < .01). And a positive correlation between the rotational angles in both three planes and changes in the condylar volume at six months after surgery (P ≤ .04). CONCLUSIONS This study's automated method for measuring condylar changes shows excellent repeatability. Skeletal class II malocclusion patients may experience condylar resorption after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery, and this is correlated with counterclockwise rotation in the sagittal plane. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE This study proposes an innovative multi-step registration method based on CBCT, and establishes an automated approach for quantitatively measuring condyle changes post-orthognathic surgery. This method opens up new possibilities for studying condylar morphology.

Does adjunctive fixation in conjunction with miniplate affect condylar position and morphology after mandibular advancement through bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy? A retrospective 3-dimensional CT comparative study. J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2024; 52:778-785. [PMID: 38627189 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2024.03.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024] Open
Abstract
To minimize condylar positional and morphological changes after mandibular advancement through bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO), surgeons add either a bicortical screw or a two-hole plate distal to the conventional single miniplate. Since there have been no previous studies investigating the effect of this combination, our study aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of these adjunctive fixation methods (AFM) on condylar positional and morphological changes after mandibular advancement through BSSRO. This retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients with retruded mandibles who were treated in the Department of Orthognathic and TMJ Surgery at West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University. The patients were divided into two groups based on the primary predictor variable, which was the addition of AFM - either a single bicortical screw or a two-hole plate in addition to the single miniplate. The primary outcome variable was the condylar positional and morphological changes after mandibular advancement through BSSRO. Three-dimensional facial CT scans were obtained at three different time points (preoperatively - T0, 1 week postoperatively - T1, and 1 year postoperatively - T2) and analyzed using ITK-SNAP, 3D Slicer, and SlicerSALT software. Intergroup comparisons were conducted with an independent t-test, with a p-value of <0.05 considered significant. Correlations between the variables were estimated by Pearson correlation. The study comprised 51 patients (32 females, 19 males; mean age 25.13 ± 4.24 years), involving a total of 81 condyles (21 unilateral and 60 bilateral). There was a significant difference in long-term condylar displacement in favor of AFM along with a single miniplate (p < 0.001). The bicortical screw group recorded less condylar displacement than the two-hole plate group horizontally (0.11 mm vs 0.22 mm) and sagittally (0.03 mm vs 0.17 mm), but more vertically (0.85 mm vs 0.03 mm). Bone formation associated with AFM occurred on all condylar surfaces, compared with only three surfaces in the single miniplate group. The adjunctive method in addition to the single miniplate fixation method showed less condylar displacement and more bone apposition after mandibular advancement through BSSRO. The follow-up duration variable was the only significant determinant for volumetric changes in the condyle.

Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024:S0901-5027(24)00100-0.

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

Abstract
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 The aim of this study was to evaluate the condylar morphological changes after orthodontic treatment in adult patients with Class II malocclusion using a Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). METHODS Images of twenty-eight adult patients with Class II malocclusion who have no temporomandibular symptoms were involved in this study. To analyze the post-treatment changes in condylar morphology, mimics 17.0 software was used to measure several values and reconstruct the three-dimensional condyle, including height of the condyle, area and bone mineral density of the maximum axial and sagittal section, volume and bone mineral density of the three-dimensional condyle and condylar head before and after orthodontic treatment. Using SPSS 19.0 software package Paired t-test was applied for comparison of condylar morphology analysis between pre-treatment and post-treatment. RESULTS Height of condylar head increase significant (P < .05). Bone mineral density showed a decrease in the maximum axial and sagittal section, three-dimensional condyle and condylar head (P < .01). Evaluation of volume revealed that volume of both condyle and condylar head decrease considerably (P < .05). No significant difference was detected in other values ((P > .05). CONCLUSION Condylar volume decreased and height of condylar head have changed, so we speculated that adaptive bone remodeling of the condyle occurs.

Three-Dimensional Quantitative Assessment of Condylar Displacement and Adaptive Remodeling in Asymmetrical Mandibular Prognathism Patients After Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy. J Craniofac Surg 2023; 34:240-246.

Abstract
This study was performed to evaluate the condylar displacement and associated condylar remodeling in class III patients following mandibular setback surgery via sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO). The sample comprised of 26 condyles of 13 subjects (mean age of 21.2±2.6 y). We evaluated patients with mandibular prognathism and facial asymmetry who had undergone SSRO for mandibular setback at Korea University Hospital between January 2016 and December 2018. Three-dimensional segmentation of the mandibular condyles was done using the initial cone-beam computed tomography scan and scan taken 12 months postoperatively or later. Quantitative assessments of the 3-dimensional condylar displacement from T0 to T1 and bony remodeling of 8 regions of the condylar head were performed. The correlation between the condylar displacement and condylar head remodeling on the deviated (D) and nondeviated (ND) sides was analyzed. Significant correlations between condylar displacement and surface remodeling were observed in both D and ND condyles. The anteroposterior condylar displacement was significantly different between the D and ND sides (P=0.007). There was no significant difference in condylar remodeling between the 2 sides. Condylar displacement and adaptive remodeling after SSRO varied greatly among individuals. Compared with displacement in the ND condyle, displacement in the D condyle has a greater association with condylar remodeling in both D and ND condyles. There is no significant difference in condylar head remodeling between D and ND condyles.

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.

Bioengineering (Basel) 2022; 9:bioengineering9120725. [PMID: 36550931 PMCID: PMC9774496 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering9120725] [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: 10/27/2022] [Revised: 11/13/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the changes in preexisting temporomandibular joint (TMJ) clicking and the new incidence of TMJ clicking after orthognathic surgery. A total of 60 patients (30 men and 30 women) with mandibular prognathism underwent intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) for a mandibular setback. The setback amount and TMJ clicking symptoms (preoperative and one year postoperative) were recorded. To assess the risk of new incidence of TMJ clicking in asymptomatic patients, the cutoff value for postoperative mandibular setback was set at 8 mm. The left and right mandibular setbacks were 11.1 and 10.9 mm in men, respectively, and 10.7 and 10.0 mm in women, respectively. Thus, no difference in setback amount on either side was observed between the sexes. The improvement rate in patients with preexisting TMJ clicking was 69.2% (18 of 26 sides); the postoperative improvement rates were 71.4% (setback amount > 8 mm) and 60% (setback amount ≤ 8 mm). IVRO may reduce the severity of preexisting TMJ clicking. A high setback amount (>8 mm) may not be associated with a considerable increase in the risk of postoperative TMJ clicking.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the axial and dimensional changes of the condylar head after orthognathic surgery, including Le Fort I and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomies, and to assess condylar remodeling through three-dimensional (3D) surface superimposition. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four patients (15 females, 9 males; mean age: 32.22 ± 6.92 years) with skeletal Class III deformity were included in the study. Cone-beam computed tomography data obtained in the preoperative (T0) and postoperative (T1) periods were examined using Mimics and 3-Matic software. The height, depth, and width of the condylar head and its angular changes were measured. The volumes of the 3D reconstructed models were calculated, and remodeling amounts were evaluated through regional surface superimposition. Statistical significance was set at P < .05. RESULTS Following the surgery, there was a significant decrease in the size of condyles (P < .05). An inward rotation of the condyles was found in the axial plane (T0: 79.60 ± 6.01°, T1: 76.6 ± 6.48°, P < .05). The maximum resorption, maximum apposition, mean remodeling, and mean absolute remodeling were -2.63 ± 1.23 mm, 1.15 ± 0.4 mm, -0.30 ± 0.34 mm, and 0.73 ± 0.43 mm, respectively. No correlation was found between the angular changes and remodeling parameters or linear and volumetric changes of the condylar head (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS Condyles undergo a remodeling process with a resorptive character following orthognathic surgery, without clinically significant effects in the present study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify factors affecting condylar bone changes following surgical-orthodontic treatment. METHODS A total of 200 patients with dentofacial deformities were classified into skeletal Classes I, II, and skeletal Class III groups consisting of 61 and 139 subjects, respectively. Temporomandibular joints (TMJs) were evaluated using clinical findings and computed tomography images before treatment, immediately before surgery, and 6 months after surgery. RESULTS Condylar bone changes occurred at a significantly higher rate after surgery in both groups. Factors related to condylar bone changes following surgical-orthodontic treatment included skeletal Class I or II, disc displacement, and condylar bone changes before treatment. There were three cases with condylar bone changes after surgery that were diagnosed with condylar resorption and skeletal Class II and anterior disc displacement before surgery. CONCLUSION Condylar resorption could occur when the load on the condyle increases after orthognathic surgery and exceeds the permissible limit.

Comparison of the Post-Surgical Position of the Temporomandibular Joint after Orthognathic Surgery in Skeletal Class III Patients and Patients with Cleft Lip and Palate. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12091437. [PMID: 36143222 PMCID: PMC9506436 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12091437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2022] [Revised: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of our research is to compare the post-surgical position of the temporomandibular joint in skeletal Class III patients and patients with cleft lip and palate treated with two-jaw orthognathic surgery using a three-dimensional computer tomography image. Materials and Methods: Twenty-three skeletal Class III patients with mandibular prognathism associated with maxillary retrognathism in group 1 and twenty cleft mid-face retrusion skeletal Class III patients in group 2 were enrolled in this study. All subjects were treated with two-jaw orthognathic surgery. Computed tomography scans were taken in all subjects at 3 weeks preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. Three-dimensional craniofacial skeletal structures were build-up, and assessed the temporomandibular joint position changes before and after surgery. Results: Forty-three selected patients were separated into two groups. The mean age of patients was 22.39 ± 4.8 years in group 1 and 20.25 ± 3.8 years in group 2. The range of mean three-dimensional discrepancy of the selected condylar points was 0.95–1.23 mm in group 1 and 2.37–2.86 mm in group 2. The mean alteration of intercondylar angle was 2.33 ± 1.34° in group 1 and 6.30 ± 2.22° in group 2. The significant differences in the discrepancy of TMJ and changes in intercondylar angle were confirmed within the intra-group and between the two groups. Conclusions: Significant changes in postoperative TMJ position were present in both groups. Furthermore, the cleft group presented significantly more postoperative discrepancy of TMJ and more changes in intercondylar angle after surgery. This finding may be a reason leading to greater postoperative instability in cleft patients compared with skeletal Class III non-cleft patients. Clinical Trial Registration Number: IRB No: 202201108B0.

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

Abstract
ABSTRACT In this retrospective analysis, we examined temporomandibular joint space volume and condyle position in 10 patients undergoing bilateral sagittal split mandibular ramus osteotomy plus Le Fort I osteotomy to correct mandibular asymmetry. Cone beam computed tomography was used to map temporomandibular joint prior to (T0), immediately after (T1), and at 1 year after surgery (T2). In the deviated side, we detected significant lateral shift of the condyle in 5 patients at T1, and the shift disappeared at T2. In the non-deviated side, we detected significant medial shift of the condyle in all 10 patients at T1; the shift continued in 9 patients at T2. Temporomandibular joint space volume increased significantly at T1 and returned to presurgical volume at T2. In conclusion, there is significant shift in position of condyle in majority of the patients after bilateral sagittal split mandibular ramus osteotomy. The most consistent and persisting change was medial shift on the nondeviated side.

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
ABSTRACT The aim of the study is to evaluate clinical methods to obtain a significantly improved fitting of patient specific implants (PSI) in bilateral sagittal split osteotomies and to evaluate the use of electromagnetic navigation as a potential guide for condyle positioning. A prospective study using (1) a solid bite registration index during preoperative computed tomography, (2) critical planning with regard to the condylar rotation, (3) a piezoelectric saw throughout the mandibular osteotomy, and (4) intraoperative navigation to determine the position of the PSIs and the mandibular segments intraoperatively was performed. Ten patients were treated. Five underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomies and 5 bimaxillary osteotomy. All of the PSIs fitted precisely onto the mandible and the screws into the predrilled screw holes. The predetermined occlusion was obtained. A precise fitting of the PSIs in the lower jaw seems to be possible to achieve with above-mentioned methods. The intraoperative navigation system gives a possibility to verify the surgical outcome during surgery but is not accurate enough to be used as a virtual drill guide alone.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the changes in individual condyles from 5 to 8 years in patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis using 3-dimensional cone beam computed tomography (3D CBCT) reconstruction and superimposition. To assess the longitudinal TMJ changes, CBCT was performed at initial (T0) and final (T2) timepoints that were at least 5 years apart and at a middle (T1) timepoint. To improve the accuracy, we used a novel superimposition method that designated areas of coronoid process and mandibular body. The differences in the resorption and apposition amounts were calculated between each model via maximum surface distances. The greatest resorption and apposition observed were − 7.48 and 2.66 mm, respectively. Evaluation of the changes in each condyle showed that osteoarthritis leads to both resorption and apposition. Resorption was mainly observed in the superior region, while high apposition rates were observed (in decreasing order) in the posterior, lateral, and anterior regions. The medial parts showed greater apposition than the lateral parts in all regions. Our superimposition method reveals that both resorption and apposition were observed in condyles with TMJ osteoarthritis, and resorption/apposition patterns depend on the individual condyle and its sites.

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

Zhou J, Fu Y, Yu L, Li Z, Chen S. A novel three-dimensional morphological analysis of idiopathic condylar resorption following stabilisation splint treatment. J Oral Rehabil 2021; 48:560-567. [PMID: 33539541 DOI: 10.1111/joor.13154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2020] [Revised: 01/18/2021] [Accepted: 01/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Bone modelling evaluation is important for monitoring idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) progress. To compare condylar modelling in ICR patients treated with or without stabilisation splints (SSs). Eighty-four condyles from 84 ICR patients were studied: 42 received SS therapy (SS group); 42 received conventional therapy (control group). Cone-beam computed tomography images at diagnosis (T0) and after at least 6 months (T1) were used for three-dimensional reconstruction. Volume differences between T0 and T1 (δV) were used to evaluate the amount of modelling. Percentage of growth area (PCT) was used to assess the condylar surface growth tendency. No significant change in condylar volume was found in the SS group, whereas that in the control group was significantly decreased at T1 (P <.0001). The amount of modelling differed among condylar subregions within the SS group: among 6 subregions (P =.0137), between anterior and posterior regions (P =.0336) and between lateral, intermediate and medial regions (P =.0275). Control group condylar subregions showed no significant differences in the amount of modelling. The anabolic modelling tendency of the total condylar surface in the SS group was greater than that in the control group (P =.0251); however, there were no statistical differences in PCTs among condylar subregions in either group. SS therapy effectively reduced further bone destruction and promoted condylar modelling. Three-dimensional morphological analysis is a novel method that can accurately evaluate the amount of bone modelling and growth tendency in ICR patients.

NiÑo-Sandoval TC, Almeida RDAC, Vasconcelos BCDE. Incidence of condylar resorption after bimaxillary, Lefort I, and mandibular surgery: an overview. Braz Oral Res 2021; 35:e27. [PMID: 33605357 DOI: 10.1590/1807-3107bor-2021.vol35.0027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2019] [Accepted: 08/10/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present overview was to evaluate the outcomes of systematic reviews to determine the incidence of condylar resorption in patients submitted to orthognathic surgery and analyze whether the risk of developing this condition is related to a specific type of surgery. Searches were conducted in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane electronic databases for systematic reviews with quantitative data on condylar resorption due to any type of orthognathic surgery for dentoskeletal deformities published up to May 25, 2019. The AMSTAR 2 and Glenny tools were applied for the quality appraisal. Five systematic reviews were included for analysis. Only one article was considered to have high quality. Among a total of 5128 patients, 12.32% developed condylar resorption. From those patients, 70.1% had double jaw surgery, 23.4% had mandibular surgery alone, and in 6.5% a Lefort I technique was used. Based on these findings, bimaxillary surgery could be considered a risk factor for condylar resorption. However, these results should be interpreted with caution, since other factors, such as pre-operative skeletal deformities, type of movement, and type of fixation, can contribute to the development of this condition. Further studies should consider reporting main cephalometric data, temporomandibular diagnosis, hormonal levels, and tomographic measures before and after the surgery at least every 6 months during the firsts two years to identify accurately risk factors for condylar resorption.

Differences of condylar changes after orthognathic surgery among Class II and Class III patients. J Formos Med Assoc 2021; 121:98-107. [PMID: 33583702 DOI: 10.1016/j.jfma.2021.01.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2020] [Revised: 12/29/2020] [Accepted: 01/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The nature of susceptibility to condylar resorption after orthognathic surgery can be different between skeletal Class II and Class III populations, which was addressed by few in the past. The aim of the present study was to use cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images to investigate the displacement and morphological changes of temporomandibular joints (TMJs) in patients received orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery. METHODS Both Class III (n = 34) and Class II (n = 17) patients were compared through overall and regional superimpositions of the initial and posttreatment CBCTs. Two-sample t-test was used to identify significance between group differences. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to address changes of TMJ and the amount of setback or advancement. RESULTS The axial ramal angle increased significantly in Class III group and decreased in Class II groups after orthognathic surgery (p < FDR_p). For condylar dimensions, significant widths and lengths reductions were noted only in Class II group. However, no significant difference was found after comparing subgroup differences according to one-jaw and two-jaw options, nor any significant correlation found between the condylar changes and the amount of surgical movements. CONCLUSION The nature of condylar susceptibility could result more from different skeletal patterns than the amount of surgical movements. However, the direction of mandibular surgery may contribute to different changes of condylar angle in axial section.

[PMID: 33291272 PMCID: PMC7762172 DOI: 10.3390/medicina56120672] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2020] [Revised: 11/29/2020] [Accepted: 12/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The need to evaluate the condylar remodeling after orthognathic surgery, using three-dimensional (3D) images and volume rendering techniques in skeletal Class III patients has been emphasized. The study examined condylar positional, structural, and volumetric changes after bimaxillary or single-jaw maxillary orthognathic surgeries in skeletal Class III patients using the cone-beam computed tomography. MATERIALS AND METHODS Presurgical, postsurgical, and one-year post-surgical full field of view (FOV) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 44 patients with skeletal Class III deformities were obtained. Group 1 underwent a bimaxillary surgery (28 patients: 24 females and 4 males), with mean age at the time of surgery being 23.8 ± 6.0 years, and Group 2 underwent maxillary single-jaw surgery (16 patients: 8 females and 8 males), with mean age at the time of surgery being 23.7 ± 5.1 years. After the orthognathic surgery, the CBCT images of 88 condyles were evaluated to assess their displacement and radiological signs of bone degeneration. Three-dimensional (3D) condylar models were constructed and superimposed pre- and postoperatively to compare changes in condylar volume. RESULTS Condylar position was found to be immediately altered after surgery in the maxillary single-jaw surgery group, but at the one-year follow-up, the condyles returned to their pre-surgical position. There was no significant difference in condylar position when comparing between pre-surgery and one-year follow-up in any of the study groups. Condylar rotations in the axial and coronal planes were significant in the bimaxillary surgery group. No radiological signs of condylar bone degeneration were detected one year after the surgery. Changes in condylar volume after surgery were found to be insignificant in both study groups. CONCLUSIONS At one year after orthognathic surgery, there were no significant changes in positional, structural, or volumetric statuses of condyles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate postoperative changes in the condyle after unilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (USSRO) and to compare them with changes occurring after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO). STUDY DESIGN For 50 condyles from 25 patients, positional and volumetric changes of condyle were analyzed by using computed tomography images taken before, immediately after, and 6 months after surgery and compared between the USRRO and BSSRO groups. RESULTS The condyle showed lateral and inferior displacement immediately after surgery and medial and superior movement at 6 months after surgery in the USSRO and BSSRO groups. No statistically significant difference was found between the 2 groups in the time-course positional change and rotation of the condyle. In the comparison of bodily shift and rotation between operated and nonoperated sides in USSRO group, there were no significant differences between the 2 sides, except for the perioperative rotation pattern on the coronal plane. At 6 months after surgery, the changed volume relative to preoperative condylar volume was only 5.2% in the USSRO group and 2.7% in the BSSRO group. CONCLUSIONS The findings from this study suggest that USSRO can be used effectively in appropriately selected patients; however, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems may arise when condylar displacement is excessive enough to exceed physiologic tolerances.

Comparison of condylar morphology changes and position stability following unilateral and bilateral sagittal split mandibular ramus osteotomy in patients with mandibular prognathism. Head Face Med 2019; 15:18. [PMID: 31296246 PMCID: PMC6622001 DOI: 10.1186/s13005-019-0202-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2018] [Accepted: 07/01/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Unilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (USSRO) is not widely used given the postoperative instability caused by the inevitable rotation of the mandibular segment during surgery. However, the influence of mandibular movement on the condylar morphology and position stability has not been completely explored. The aim of the study was to quantitatively evaluate the effect of USSRO on the condylar surface morphology changes and postoperative stability in patients with mandibular lateral prognathism and compare these findings with the classic bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO). PATIENTS/METHODS This was a retrospective study involving 134 patients with mandibular lateral prognathism who received USSRO (n = 56) and BSSRO (n = 78) surgery. Here, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed before surgery (T0), immediately after surgery (T1), and 1 year postoperatively (T2). Differences of condylar sizes, condylar surface deviation, and mandibular positioning parameters (dental midline deviation, SNB, SN-MP) were calculated from T0 to T2. Comparisons were performed at the deviated side or nondeviated side of condyles between the USSRO and BSSRO groups. The relation between the dental midline deviation and condylar surface morphology changes from T0 to T2 were investigated. RESULTS Condylar surface morphology changes at the deviated side of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) before and 1 year after the surgery were significantly different between the USSRO and BSSRO groups. The dental midline deviation was related to the changes of condylar volume, surface size and surface deviation at the deviated side of TMJ in patients following USSRO. No significant difference was noted between the USSRO and BSSRO groups for postoperative condylar surface morphology changes at the nondeviated side. In both groups, significant differences between T0 and T1 and no significant difference between T1 and T2 were noted for all of the mandibular positioning parameters. CONCLUSIONS Both BSSRO and USSRO exhibit favorable postoperative stability in the correction of mandibular prognathism. After USSRO surgery, condylar surface changes occurred at the deviated side of the TMJ, and the dental midline deviation was closely related to the changes of condylar surface morphology. USSRO represents a stable alternative for minor asymmetric mandibular prognathism correction with the advantages of reduced operating time and surgical trauma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE It has been suggested that degenerative conditions of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), such as osteoarthritis (OA) and progressive condylar resorption, are caused by multiple etiological factors, such as hormonal imbalance and excessive mechanical stress. However, it is unclear whether these factors interrelate in the degenerative process of the condyle. The aim of this study was to observe the effects of combined hormonal imbalance and excessive mechanical stress on the condyle using a mouse model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ovariectomy (OVX) was performed in 8-week-old female mice. Three weeks after OVX, a build-up resin was bonded to the right maxillary molars to create imbalanced occlusion (increased occlusal vertical dimension, iOVD). Mice were divided into four groups: control, OVX, iOVD, and OVX + iOVD. RESULTS Histomorphometric analysis showed the lowest cartilage thickness and the highest TMJ-OA score in the OVX + iOVD group. Bone structural analysis showed significantly lower subchondral bone mass in all experimental groups. Additionally, the OVX + iOVD group showed up-regulated osteoclastic activity and increased apoptosis in the condyle. Gene expression analysis showed significantly elevated expression of pre-inflammatory cytokines in the OVX + iOVD group. These data showed that the OVX + iOVD group exhibited the most severe inflammatory TMJ-OA. Upregulation of ERα and activation of the ERK pathway was observed in the OVX + iOVD group. CONCLUSIONS Additive effects of estrogen deficiency and excessive mechanical stress on the condyle exacerbate TMJ-OA. Furthermore, estrogen deficiency and excessive mechanical stress combined may exacerbate TMJ-OA though activation of the ERK pathway.

Abstract
After orthognathic surgery for class II dentofacial deformity, remodelling of the mandibular condyle will take place. In a number of cases, this may evolve towards a phenomenon of condylar resorption. Yet, studies on the occurrence of this complication after the correction of a class III deformity are scarce. A systematic review of the literature was performed with the aim of identifying reports on condylar resorption or remodelling after orthognathic surgery for class III dentofacial deformity. A search of the international databases yielded 12 eligible studies. Eight studies reported some degree of postoperative condylar remodelling, while symptoms of condylar resorption were only described in a limited group of patients. Thus, the literature may show evidence of condylar remodelling after orthognathic treatment of class III patients, and anecdotal reports of condylar resorption exist. The small sample sizes, heterogeneity in methods and outcomes, and use of two-dimensional radiographs indicate the need for updated long-term research. In the future, the use of cone beam computed tomography data for volumetric and morphological condylar analysis in combination with three-dimensional cephalometry may provide the opportunity to further elucidate this phenomenon and better characterize its aetiology.

MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty patients who underwent bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy setback surgery were divided into the two groups, symmetric setback and asymmetric setback, according to the right/left difference of setback amount (<2.0, ≥2.0 mm). Condylar long axis changes were evaluated using the three-dimensional superimposition of before and immediately after surgery cone-beam computed tomography volume images. Evaluations were performed separately in lesser setback and greater setback side in patients undergoing asymmetric setback, whereas both side condyles were evaluated together in patients undergoing symmetric setback. Condylar axis changes on axial view were correlated with setback amount or right/left setback difference using Pearson correlation analysis. RESULTS In general, the condylar axis change occurred in a pattern of inward rotation. The condyles in patients undergoing symmetric setback showed 3.4° rotation in average. In case of asymmetric setback, the lesser setback side showed larger value (4.3°) than the greater setback side (2.3°) with a statistical significance. In the correlation analysis, setback amount showed no significant correlation with the condylar axis changes in both groups. However, correlation with right/left setback difference showed a positive correlation in lesser setback side of patients undergoing asymmetric setback. CONCLUSION The findings of this study indicate that large amount of setback alone does not contribute to the change in condylar long axis, but asymmetric setback might cause a change in condylar long axis, particularly on the lesser setback side.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the condylar displacement following sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) in asymmetric setback patients between the conventional approach and surgery-first approach and to determine whether the condylar displacement is affected by asymmetric setback in SSRO patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study. The subjects consisted of patients with facial asymmetry who underwent SSRO and had cone-beam computed tomography taken before and 1 month after surgery. They were allocated into the conventional (n = 18) and surgery-first (SF) groups (n = 20). Descriptive, independent t-tests and Pearson correlation analysis were computed. RESULTS The amount of condylar displacement in x-, y-, and z-directions and Euclidean distance showed no statistically significant differences between the conventional and SF groups. Comparing the postoperative condylar position with the preoperative position, the condylar displacement occurred in posterior (P < .05) and downward (P < .05) directions in both groups except on the deviated side in the conventional group. The condylar displacement occurred in a posterior (P < .05) direction on the deviated side of the conventional group. However, the condylar displacement in three dimensions showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups. In the correlation analysis, the condylar displacement in both the deviated and contralateral sides showed no significant correlation with asymmetric setback in either group. CONCLUSION The condylar displacement in three dimensions and the distance of condylar displacement in SSRO patients with facial asymmetry showed no significant difference between conventional and SF groups. Condylar displacement was not associated with asymmetric setback.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate sequential images of the condylar position in relation to the glenoid fossa after orthognathic surgery in patients with facial asymmetry using cone beam computed tomography. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 20 adult patients (11 men and 9 women; mean age, 22.1 ± 4.02 years) with facial asymmetry who underwent sagittal split ramus osteotomy with rigid fixation were involved. Cone beam computed tomography scans were obtained before treatment (T0), 1 month before the surgery (T1), and 1 day (T2), 3 months (T3), 6 months (T4), and 12 months (T5) after the surgery. The condyle position was evaluated. RESULTS At 1 day after surgery (T2), the condylar position on both sides significantly changed posteriorly, inferiorly, and laterally, but no significant difference was observed between the nonaffected and affected sides. The condyle on the nonaffected side had a tendency to recover its preoperative position at 3 months after surgery (T3) and inclined slightly laterally up to 1 year after the surgery (T5). The condyle on the affected side returned more closely to the glenoid fossa than to its pretreatment position at 3 months after surgery (T3). Thereafter, it showed a more backward and downward position (T5). CONCLUSIONS The overall condylar position after an orthognathic surgery in patients with facial asymmetry was relatively stable at 1 year after surgery. However, the condyle on the affected side during the first 3 months after surgery should be carefully monitored for surgical stability.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was performed to evaluate condylar surface changes and remodeling after orthognathic surgery using three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) imaging, including comparisons between the right and left sides and between the sexes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty patients (20 males and 20 females) who underwent multi-detector CT examinations before and after surgery were selected. Three-dimensional images comprising thousands of points on the condylar surface were obtained before and after surgery. For the quantitative assessment of condylar surface changes, point-to-point (preoperative-to-postoperative) distances were calculated using D processing software. These point-to-point distances were converted to a color map. In order to evaluate the types of condylar remodeling, the condylar head was divided into six areas (anteromedial, anteromiddle, anterolateral, posteromedial, posteromiddle, and posterolateral areas) and each area was classified into three types of condylar remodeling (bone formation, no change, and bone resorption) based on the color map. Additionally, comparative analyses were performed between the right and left sides and according to sex. RESULTS The mean of the average point-to-point distances on condylar surface was 0.11±0.03 mm. Bone resorption occurred more frequently than other types of condylar remodeling, especially in the lateral areas. However, bone formation in the anteromedial area was particularly prominent. No significant difference was found between the right and left condyles, but condylar surface changes in males were significantly larger than in females. CONCLUSION This study revealed that condylar remodeling exhibited a tendency towards bone resorption, especially in the lateral areas. Condylar surface changes occurred, but were small.
