3D analysis of condylar and mandibular remodeling one year after intra-oral ramus vertical lengthening osteotomy.

Objectives: Among the existing techniques for the correction of mandibular posterior vertical insufficiency (PVI), the intra-oral ramus vertical lengthening osteotomy (IORVLO) can be proposed as it allows simultaneous correction of mandibular height and retrusion. This study assessed the 3D morpho-anatomical changes of the ramus-condyle unit and occlusal stability after IORVLO.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective analysis compared immediate and 1-year post-operative 3D CBCT reconstructions.
