Three-dimensional assessment of positional changes of the mandibular condyles following orthognathic surgery.

The Aim The Study: This study aims to assess the postoperative condylar displacement after orthognathic surgery using three-dimensional analysis of computed tomography.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study included 64 condyles from 32 patients with skeletal Class II (Group 1, =16) and III (Group 2, =16) deformities. All patients underwent a bimaxillary surgery.

[Condylar displacement following orthognathic surgery].

The overview of the current literature in the research of mandibular condyle displacement after orthognathic surgeries was done. The correct postoperative mandibular condyle position is considered as one of the determinants of the stability of treatment results.
