To analyse oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) several years after orthognathic treatment in patients who had Class II malocclusion with retrognathic mandible. The initial study cohort comprised 151 patients with orthognathic treatment in 2007-2011. Of them, 77 patients (Group 1, mean age 41 years, range 19-71 years, 71% women) were clinically examined 6 years (range 4-8 years) after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). Group 2 included 24 former patients (mean 48 years, range 25-79 years, 50% women) who were willing to participate in a structured telephone interview. Group 3 consisted of 22 prospective patients (mean 35 years, range 18-56 years, 86% women) with a recent orthognathic treatment plan and awaiting treatment. QoL was assessed using two questionnaires, OHIP-14 and OQLQ. Based on responses, patients who had received orthognathic treatment (Groups 1 and 2) had better QoL than those awaiting treatment (Group 3). Conventional orthognathic treatment, including mandibular advancement with BSSO, seems to have a positive long-term effect on patients' QoL. More long-term follow-up studies are needed to assess the real impact of treatment on patients' lives in the long run.

Influences of patient positioning and general anesthesia on condylar position and surgical accuracy in orthognathic surgery.
Clin Oral Investig
January 2025
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Radboud University Medical Center, Geert Grooteplein 10, Nijmegen, 6525, GA, the Netherlands.
Objectives: To assess the effect of patient positioning and general anesthesia on the condylar position in orthognathic surgery.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study included patients undergoing orthognathic surgery between 2019 and 2020. Four weeks prior to surgery (T0) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and intra-oral scans (IOS) were acquired in an upright position.
Effects of Combined Antiemetic Protocol for the Prevention of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in Orthognathic Surgery: A Randomized Double Blinded Clinical Study.
J Oral Maxillofac Surg

Professor, Private Practice, Proimtech A.Ş., Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after orthognathic surgery remains one of the most common side effects despite the use of several medications.
Purpose: The study aimed to compare the frequencies of PONV between a combination of metoclopramide with granisetron and granisetron alone.
Study Design, Setting, Sample: A randomized double-blind clinical trial was conducted in 66 consecutive patients who underwent orthognathic surgery at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Bezmialem Vakif University.
Orthognathic surgery-related condylar resorption in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion versus class III malocclusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
School of Dentistry, Complutense University of Madrid, Madrid, 28040, Spain.
Background: Orthodontic-orthognathic treatment is the standard of care for moderate and/or severe skeletal class III (SCIII) malocclusion. Following orthognathic surgery, morphological changes in the temporomandibular joint structures (TMJ) may contribute to condylar resorption (CR).
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to identify the morphological signs of condylar resorption (changes in the condylar head, position, neck, disk, and joint space) following orthognathic surgery in patients with SCIII compared with those with skeletal class II (SCII) malocclusion.
Three-dimensional measurement of the depth of invasion in oral squamous cell carcinoma samples using Lugol's iodine-enhanced micro-computed tomography: an original study.
J Appl Oral Sci
January 2025
Nanjing University, Research Institute of Stomatology, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing Stomatological Hospital, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Trauma Orthognathic Plastic Surgery, Nanjing, China.
Objectives: Depth of invasion (DOI) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) guides treatment and prognosis but lacks three-dimensional (3D) insight. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the feasibility and accuracy of Lugol's iodine-enhanced micro-computed tomography (CT) for the 3D measurement of DOI in OSCC samples.
Methodology: In total, 50 in vitro OSCC samples from Nanjing Stomatological Hospital (July 2022 to January 2024) were subjected to micro-CT imaging with a slice thickness of 50 μm following 3% Lugol iodine staining for 12 h, followed by pathological examination and staining.
Ideal mentolabial sulcus depth in long-face, short-face, and normal-face in female individuals.

Department of Restorative, School of Dentistry, Dental Research Center, Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Pajouhesh Square, Hamadan, 6517838736, Iran.
Purpose: The harmony between the lips and the chin is an essential parameter in facial esthetics, and the mentolabial sulcus (MLS) represents the level of this harmony. This study aimed to assess the effect of MLS depth on facial profile attractiveness in long-face, short-face, and normal-face Iranian female individuals.
Methods: An observational study with a questionnaire was conducted, and a profile photograph of an Iranian female with class I occlusion was altered to create long-face, normal-face and short-face profiles with MLS depth ranging from 1 to 12 mm.
