Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the biomechanical effects of mandibular deviation on the TMJ in patients with mandibular prognathism before and after orthognathic surgery using three-dimensional finite element analysis.
Methods: Eight patients with mandibular prognathism without deviation, eight patients with mandibular prognathism with deviation and sixteen normal subjects were recruited. Three-dimensional models of the maxillofacial were reconstructed using MIMICS. Nine muscle forces were used to simulate incisal occlusion and contact was used to simulate fossa-disc-condyle interactions.
Results: Before surgery, the stress in the TMJ was generally greater in the Pre-MD&MP group than in the Pre-MD group; it was much greater in both groups than in the control group, ranging from about 2 to 12 times as great in the Pre-MD group and from about 5 to 64 times as great in the Pre-MD&MP group. After orthognathic surgeries, the stresses in the Post-MP&MD were significantly reduced by approximately 21.7 % to 93.4 %. And in the Post-MP group, the stresses were reduced by approximately 1.4 % to 51.1 %.
Conclusion: Mandibular deviation exacerbated the abnormal stress distribution in the TMJ of patients with mandibular prognathism. Orthognathic surgeries could improve the stress distribution in patients with mandibular prognathism (with and without deviation). TMD was closely related to the stress levels of the TMJ.
