The relationship between fixation method and early central condylar sagging after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy in orthognathic surgery.

Purpose: There is no consensus about the ideal fixation methods and their effects on the condyle after the sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) procedure. The aim of this study was to compare the incidence, clinical presentation, and treatment of condylar sagging between different fixation methods following SSRO.

Methods: Patients who underwent double jaw surgery between 2007 and 2017 were evaluated retrospectively.

Orthodontic treatment and follow-up of a patient with cerebral palsy and spastic quadriplegia.

Introduction: This report describes the clinical orthodontic management of a patient with spastic quadriplegia and cerebral palsy. Guidelines to overcome difficulties encountered during the treatment period are suggested.

Methods: A 13-year-old boy with cerebral palsy and spastic quadriplegia complained of an undesirable oral appearance because of his malocclusion.

Nasal profile changes with le fort I maxillary advancement surgery.

Introduction : The purpose of this study was to quantify anteroposterior facial soft tissue changes with respect to underlying skeletal movements after Le Fort I maxillary advancement surgery by using lateral cephalograms taken before and after the operation. Materials and Methods : The study group consisted of 20 patients (10 women, 10 men; mean age 23.4 ± 1.

Interdisciplinary treatment of a patient with amelogenesis imperfecta, a skeletal Class III relationship, and an anterior open bite.

An adult woman with amelogenesis imperfecta, a skeletal Class III relationship, long face syndrome, and a severe anterior open bite received interdisciplinary treatment (orthodontics, orthognathic surgery, and prosthodontics). Presurgical orthodontic treatment was followed by a maxillary posterior impaction with anterior advancement and a mandibular setback. After surgery, the patient received ceramic crowns.

Body fat composition and weight changes after double-jaw osteotomy.

Nutritional problems might be observed after surgical procedures. In this study, body weight and fat composition changes have been investigated in dentofacial deformity patients after the double-jaw osteotomy procedure. Thirty Angle class 3 patients operated on with double-jaw osteotomies during the period of March 2006 to July 2008 were included in the study.

Changes in head posture and hyoid bone position in Turkish Class III patients after mandibular setback surgery.

The aim of this study was to determine the changes in head posture and hyoid bone position after mandibular setback osteotomy in Turkish adult Class III patients. Serial lateral cephalograms of 42 Turkish Class III patients (24 female, 18 male patients, mean age: 25.4+/-1.

Treatment of a patient with a severe Class III and open bite: a case report.

The Class III malocclusion with mandibular prognathism and open bite can be a result of excessive mandibular growth, underdevelopment of the maxilla, environmental factors, and trauma to the jaws. Correction of this malocclusion can involve an orthodontic or a combined orthodontic-orthognathic approach. Skeletal asymmetries can complicate this situation, making treatment more difficult.

Oropharyngeal airway changes following bimaxillary surgery in Class III female adults.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate oropharyngeal airway changes following Le Fort I maxillary advancement and impaction with mandibular setback in Class III deformity.

Subjects And Methods: 53 female Class III patients (mean age: 24.9+/-0.

Soft and hard tissue changes after bimaxillary surgery in Turkish female Class III patients.

Introduction: Treatment of severe Class III malocclusion frequently requires a combination of orthodontics and orthognathic surgical procedures. The aims of this retrospective study were to assess the results of bimaxillary surgery on Turkish female subjects presenting with Class III malocclusions and to evaluate the correlation between soft and hard tissue changes.

Material And Methods: The sample consisted of 44 Turkish female Class III patients (mean age was 28.

Changes in pharyngeal (airway) morphology in Class III Turkish female patients after mandibular setback surgery.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the pharyngeal and lower facial morphology in Turkish female Class III patients 1.5+/-0.4 years after mandibular setback surgery (bilateral sagittal split osteotomy), and orthodontic multi-bracket treatment.
