Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to clarify the three-dimensional changes in maxillofacial morphology following orthognathic surgery using 3D-CT in patients with asymmetrical jaw deformities.
Methods: The subjects were 30 patients with asymmetrical jaw deformities. Three-dimensional images taken preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively were re-aligned using image processing software with the horizontal plane, coronal plane, and midsagittal plane as reference axes. Thirty-nine measurements including 28 distances, nine angles, and two volumes were recorded, and differences between preoperative and postoperative measurements and percentage differences between paired measurements on the deviated and unevolved sides were calculated.
Results: Translational and rotational movements of the maxillary dentition and mandibular body and the mandibular ramus internally rotating contributed to improved symmetry of the maxillofacial morphology, but the degree and proportion of these changes varied from case to case and mild asymmetry remained even after surgery.
Conclusions: 3D-CT analysis of maxillofacial morphology is essential to accurately evaluate the asymmetry of hard and soft tissue morphology in the maxillofacial region and the degree of improvement after orthognathic surgery, and the tooth movement during preoperative orthodontic treatment should be determined taking into account the movement of the upper and lower jaws during orthognathic surgery.
期刊介绍：
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery founded as Mund-, Kiefer- und Gesichtschirurgie is a peer-reviewed online journal. It is designed for clinicians as well as researchers.The quarterly journal offers comprehensive coverage of new techniques, important developments and innovative ideas in oral and maxillofacial surgery and interdisciplinary aspects of cranial, facial and oral diseases and their management. The journal publishes papers of the highest scientific merit and widest possible scope on work in oral and maxillofacial surgery as well as supporting specialties. Practice-oriented articles help improve the methods used in oral and maxillofacial surgery.Every aspect of oral and maxillofacial surgery is fully covered through a range of invited review articles, clinical and research articles, technical notes, abstracts, and case reports. Specific topics are: aesthetic facial surgery, clinical pathology, computer-assisted surgery, congenital and craniofacial deformities, dentoalveolar surgery, head and neck oncology, implant dentistry, oral medicine, orthognathic surgery, reconstructive surgery, skull base surgery, TMJ and trauma.Time-limited reviewing and electronic processing allow to publish articles as fast as possible. Accepted articles are rapidly accessible online.Clinical studies submitted for publication have to include a declaration that they have been approved by an ethical committee according to the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki 1964 (last amendment during the 52nd World Medical Association General Assembly, Edinburgh, Scotland, October 2000). Experimental animal studies have to be carried out according to the principles of laboratory animal care (NIH publication No 86-23, revised 1985).
