Küçükçakır O, Ersan N, Arslan YZ, Cansız E. Evaluation of mandibular condyle position in Class III patients after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery: A cone-beam computed tomography study. Korean J Orthod 2024; 54:247-256. [PMID: 38981647 PMCID: PMC11270145 DOI: 10.4041/kjod23.188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective This retrospective study evaluated the mandibular condyle position before and after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery performed with the mandibular condyle positioned manually in patients with mandibular prognathism using cone-beam computed tomography. Methods Overall, 88 mandibular condyles from 44 adult patients (20 female and 24 male) diagnosed with mandibular prognathism due to skeletal Class III malocclusion who underwent bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) and Le Fort I performed using the manual condyle positioning method were included. Cone-beam computed tomography images obtained 1-2 weeks before (T0) and approximately 6 months after (T1) surgery were analyzed in three planes using 3D Slicer software. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05 level. Results Significant inward rotation of the left mandibular condyle and significant outward rotation of the right mandibular condyle were observed in the axial and coronal planes (P < 0.05). The positions of the right and left condyles in the sagittal plane and the distance between the most medial points of the condyles in the coronal plane did not differ significantly (P > 0.05). Conclusions While the change in the sagittal plane can be maintained as before surgery with manual positioning during the BSSRO procedure, significant inward and outward rotation was observed in the axial and coronal planes, respectively, even in the absence of concomitant temporomandibular joint disorder before or after the operation. Further long-term studies are needed to correlate these findings with possible clinical consequences.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of maxillary repositioning surgery in teaching hospitals using conventional model surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 73 patients undergoing single-piece LeFort I osteotomies in the maxilla and bilateral sagittal split osteotomies in the mandible were included in the study. Preoperative and immediate postoperative cone-beam CT were compared in computer software (Dolphin3D©). Maxillary landmarks relative to the vertical and horizontal reference lines were evaluated. The difference between the planned and achieved maxillary positions was measured. Distance error in millimeters and achievement ratio (achieved displacement/planned displacement*100) were calculated for different maxillary movements. RESULTS Midline correction and advancement were the most accurate movements with an overall mean distance error of 0.53 mm and 0.63 mm respectively while posterior impaction and setback were the least accurate movements with 1.38 mm and 1.76 mm mean discrepancies, respectively. A significant difference was observed only in setback movement regarding the discrepancy value (P < .05). Although setback and down-graft movements tended to under-correction, all other movements were overcorrected. As the magnitude of maxillary movements increases, the accuracy decreases. In severe displacements (≥ 8 mm), the accuracy declines significantly (P < .05). CONCLUSION Classic cast surgery and manually fabricated intermediate splints in teaching hospitals yield accurate and acceptable results in the majority of cases (84.6%). The accuracy of maxillary repositioning decreases as the magnitude of displacement increases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Successful orthognathic surgery requires accurate transfer of the intraoperative surgical plan. This study aimed to (1) evaluate the surgical error of a novel intermediate splint in positioning the maxilla during maxilla-first orthognathic surgery and (2) determine factors influencing surgical error. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study examined 83 patients who consecutively underwent Le Fort I osteotomy for correction of skeletal class III deformity using a novel intermediate splint and a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy. Surgical error was the outcome variable, measured as the difference in postoperative translational and rotational maxillary position from the virtual plan. Measures included asymmetry, need and amount for mandibular opening during fabrication of intermediate splints, and planned and achieved skeletal movement. RESULTS Mean errors in translation for vertical, sagittal, and transversal dimensions were 1.0 ± 0.7 mm, 1.0 ± 0.6 mm, and 0.7 ± 0.6 mm, respectively; degrees in rotation for yaw, roll, and pitch were 0.8 ± 0.6, 0.6 ± 0.4, and 1.6 ± 1.1, respectively. The transverse error was smaller than sagittal and vertical errors; error for pitch was larger than roll and yaw (both p < 0.001). Error for sagittal, transverse, and roll positioning was affected by the achieved skeletal movement (roll, p < 0.05; pitch and yaw, p < 0.001). Surgical error of pitch positioning was affected by planned and achieved skeletal movement (both p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Using the novel intermediate splint when performing Le Fort I osteotomy allowed for accurate positioning of the maxilla. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The novel intermediate splint for maxillary positioning can be reliably used in clinical routines.

Angle Orthod 2023; 93:490379. [PMID: 36689739 PMCID: PMC9933560 DOI: 10.2319/072522-513.1] [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: 07/01/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare a novel body mandibular horizontal plane (mental foramen-protuberance menti; Body-MHP) with the conventional border mandibular horizontal plane (gonion-menton [Me]; Border-MHP) to assess mandibular body inclination and dental compensation of skeletal Class III patients with and without facial asymmetry. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective data obtained from diagnostic cone-beam computed tomography of 90 skeletal Class III patients (mean age, 21.67 ± 2.93 years; range, 15.0-30.6 years) were divided into symmetry (n = 30) and asymmetry groups (n = 60). The asymmetry group was subdivided into roll (n = 30) and non-roll types (n = 30). The differences in body inclination and dental measurements (distance and angle) according to two mandibular planes (Body-MHP and Border-MHP) were assessed in the groups and subgroups. RESULTS Mandibular body inclinations relative to the Body-MHP were not different in the roll-type asymmetric mandible between the sides, while those relative to the Border-MHP were different (P < .001). For the mandibular first molar positions relative to the Border-MHP, the differences in vertical distance between the sides were undermeasured and the inclination differences were overmeasured when compared relative to the Body-MHP. CONCLUSIONS The Body-MHP demonstrated better bilateral similarity in body inclination compared with the Border-MHP in patients with roll-type facial asymmetry. The novel body mandibular plane ensures an accurate diagnosis for tooth movement and jaw surgery, particularly in the roll-type asymmetric mandible.

[PMID: 36100976 DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000008995] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2022] [Accepted: 08/03/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the accuracy of planned maxillary positioning by virtual surgery by comparing planned and actual postoperative outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty patients who underwent 2-jaw orthognathic surgery performed by a single surgeon from May 2017 to December 2020 were the subjects of this retrospective study. The coordinates of reference points in horizontal, sagittal, and coronal planes as determined by virtual surgery were compared with those of actual surgical outcomes. The reference points used were as follows: #16 mesiobuccal cusp tip (#16), #26 mesiobuccal cusp tip (#26), and #11 mesial tip (U1); anterior nasal spine; and posterior nasal spine. Three-dimensional linear distances between the reference point on which virtual surgery was performed and the reference point after the actual operation was calculated. RESULTS Of the 20 patients, there were 11 males and 9 females of average age 20.65±2.41 years. Three-dimensional printed wafers had high accuracy with a maximum difference of 0.3 mm. No significant difference was observed in horizontal or coronal planes for any reference point, but a significant difference was observed in the sagittal plane. However, positional differences between planned and actual reference points were all <1 mm. CONCLUSIONS Virtual surgical planning and 3-dimensional printed wafer achieved excellent maxillary positioning accuracies after orthognathic surgery.

Abstract
Objective To classify facial asymmetry (FA) phenotypes in adult patients with skeletal Class III (C-III) malocclusion. Methods A total of 120 C-III patients who underwent orthognathic surgery (OGS) and whose three-dimensional computed tomography images were taken one month prior to OGS were evaluated. Thirty hard tissue landmarks were identified. After measurement of 22 variables, including cant (°, mm), shift (mm), and yaw (°) of the maxilla, maxillary dentition (Max-dent), mandibular dentition, mandible, and mandibular border (Man-border) and differences in the frontal ramus angle (FRA, °) and ramus height (RH, mm), K-means cluster analysis was conducted using three variables (cant in the Max-dent [mm] and shift [mm] and yaw [°] in the Man-border). Statistical analyses were conducted to characterize the differences in the FA variables among the clusters. Results The FA phenotypes were classified into five types 1) non-asymmetry type (35.8%); 2) maxillary-cant type (14.2%; severe cant of the Max-dent, mild shift of the Man-border); 3) mandibular-shift and yaw type (16.7%; moderate shift and yaw of the Man-border, mild RH-difference); 4) complex type (9.2%; severe cant of the Max-dent, moderate cant, severe shift, and severe yaw of the Man-border, moderate differences in FRA and RH); and 5) maxillary reverse-cant type (24.2%; reverse-cant of the Max-dent). Strategic decompensation by pre-surgical orthodontic treatment and considerations for OGS planning were proposed according to the FA phenotypes. Conclusions This FA phenotype classification may be an effective tool for differential diagnosis and surgical planning for Class III patients with FA.

Abstract
Anchoring miniscrews used for a tissue bone borne maxillary expander (C-expander) can fail if they contact tooth roots or perforate the maxillary sinus. Cone beam computed tomography images were reviewed retrospectively to evaluate the geometric factors of miniscrew placement in the palate that contribute to root proximity (RP) and sinus perforation (SP), and to investigate the differences of miniscrew placement depth (PD) and placement angle (PA) among the groups in each variable from 340 anchoring miniscrews on 70 patients whose C-expanders showed sufficient stability after palatal expansion for orthodontic treatment. Two types of miniscrews were used: a self-tapping miniscrew with 1.8 mm-in-diameter, and a self-drilling miniscrew with 1.6 mm-in-diameter. While the self-tapping larger diameter miniscrew influenced root proximity significantly, the screw location and PD affected the rate of sinus perforation. PA was significantly different between the right and left sides of the palate. The results of this study confirmed that root proximity and sinus perforation of anchoring miniscrews in a tissue bone borne palatal expander occurred due to certain risk factors, even when the palates were expanded successfully. Knowledge of these factors can help the clinician place miniscrews with less risk of root proximity or sinus perforation.

Abstract
For the treatment of low-angle mandibular prognathism, rotational mandibular setback surgery is usually performed with Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy to rotate the maxillomandibular complex simultaneously. However, this maxillary surgery can be replaced with the orthodontic intrusion of maxillary posterior teeth. Single-jaw rotational mandibular setback surgery can be done with a surgery-first approach by planning orthodontic rotation of the maxillary occlusal plane with the simulation of the postsurgical forward mandibular rotation. This case report describes this approach applied to a 19-year-old female patient with low-angle mandibular prognathism but without maxillary deficiency. A Class II open bite was formed by the rotational setback surgery. During postsurgical orthodontic treatment, the maxillary total arch was distalized with maxillary molar intrusion using palatal mini-implants and lever. This case report demonstrates that orthodontic rotation of the maxillary occlusal plane and simulation of mandibular rotation can replace maxillary surgery and enable single-jaw rotational mandibular setback surgery with a surgery-first approach.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate three-dimensional facial soft tissue changes after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery (BOGS) in patients with cleft lip and palate. The samples consisted of 34 Korean young adult patients with skeletal class III malocclusion who underwent BOGS for maxillary advancement/posterior impaction and mandibular setback. They were divided into cleft-class III (C-CIII) group (n = 18) and noncleft-class III (NC-CIII) group (n = 16). Three-dimensional computed tomography images were taken 1 month before (T1) and 3 months after (T2) surgery. After 34 hard/soft tissue landmarks were automatically identified using software, the amount and direction of change in landmarks and the amount of change in 16 soft tissue variables during T1-T2 were calculated. Then, statistical analysis was performed. Compared to NC-CIII group, C-CIII group showed more posteriorly-positioned hard/soft tissue landmarks, larger alar width, alar base width and philtrum width, and more obtuse nasal tip angle at both T1 and T2 stages. C-CIII group exhibited higher soft-to-hard tissue movement ratios at the bottom of the nose (ΔSn/ΔANS, 1.08 versus 0.81) and the upper part of the upper lip (ΔPoint A'/ΔPoint A, 1.08 versus 0.91), but a lower ratio at the lower part of the upper lip (ΔLs'/ΔIs, 0.72 versus 1.01) than NC-CIII group. The number of hard-soft tissue landmarks with high correlation (>0.90) was smaller in C-CIII group than in NC-CIII group (2 versus 6). Scar tissues and abnormal muscles in the nose and upper lip might elicit different responses in the nasolabial soft tissues to BOGS between C-CIII and NC-CIII patients.

Abstract
This study was designed to develop and verify a fully automated cephalometry landmark identification system, based on multi-stage convolutional neural networks (CNNs) architecture, using a combination dataset. In this research, we trained and tested multi-stage CNNs with 430 lateral and 430 MIP lateral cephalograms synthesized by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to make a combination dataset. Fifteen landmarks were manually and respectively identified by experienced examiner, at the preprocessing phase. The intra-examiner reliability was high (ICC = 0.99) in manual identification. The results of prediction of the system for average mean radial error (MRE) and standard deviation (SD) were 1.03 mm and 1.29 mm, respectively. In conclusion, different types of image data might be the one of factors that affect the prediction accuracy of a fully-automated landmark identification system, based on multi-stage CNNs.
