Purpose: The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the risk of development of gingival recession (GR) as a result of the combined orthodontic-orthognathic approach.
Materials And Methods: The PubMed, Google Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Cochrane Library databases were searched. Included articles mentioned gingival parameters in their materials and methods sections; specifically, they evaluated GR, which was measured before and after the surgical procedure. Study parameters such as methodology, evaluation period, sample characteristics, and follow-up were extracted by 2 authors independently.
Results: In total, 133 relevant articles were identified from the databases; after screening and full-text analysis, 9 studies were included in this systematic review. Meta-analysis could not be conducted because of considerable heterogeneity in methods. The incidence of GR in the range of 0.5 to 3.0 mm as a significant clinical finding after orthognathic surgery showed statistically significant differences in all included articles. Among patients with GR, the mean age was 23.0 to 29.5 years and the mandibular incisors were the most common site. However, no case of recession greater than 3.0 mm was associated with surgery.
Conclusions: On the basis of the findings of this review, GR of approximately 0.5 to 3.0 mm is a common finding after the combined orthodontic-orthognathic approach. Although periodontal damage up to 3 mm can be observed as an isolated finding in mainly the incisors, true recession is not associated with orthognathic surgery in general.

Management of a severe skeletal Class II hyperdivergent patient with asymmetric missing teeth with lingual appliances and mandibular osteotomy: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)

Faculty of Dentistry, PHENIKAA University, Hanoi, Vietnam.
Rationale: Orthognathic surgery cases are inherently challenging to treat with lingual appliances due to the complexities of orthodontic management and difficulties in achieving intermaxillary fixation during surgery. This challenge is further amplified in cases involving asymmetric space closure, such as those with a missing molar on one side and a premolar on the other, a scenario not yet documented in the literature. This case report presents the orthodontic-orthognathic management of an adult patient requiring space closure of asymmetric missing lower teeth.

Objectives: With the development of three-dimensional (3D) image, the 3D virtual surgical planning (VSP) system has been broadly used in the treatment planning of orthodontic-orthognathic cases. This study aimed to understand the current education status regarding the use of orthodontic-orthognathic surgical planning tools in the postgraduate orthodontic and oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) programs in North America.
Methods: An electronic multiple-choice survey was sent via email with 2-week and 1-month follow-ups, requesting anonymous participation of program directors/department chairs from all postgraduate orthodontic and OMFS programs in North America.

Objectives: Aberrant facial growth in individuals affected by orofacial clefts can result in maxillary retrusion and class III malocclusion, with a proportion requiring surgical correction at cessation of growth. This study aimed to evaluate occlusal and cephalometric outcomes of combined orthodontic-orthognathic treatment.
Material And Methods: Retrospective cohort study in a United Kingdom cleft center.

Introduction And Importance: The decision between orthodontic camouflage therapy and orthodontic-orthognathic surgical treatment for developing skeletal Class III malocclusion presents a significant challenge for orthodontists.
Case Presentation: This case report describes the camouflage treatment of a severe skeletal Class III adolescent at the post-pubertal stage.
Clinical Discussion: Protraction facemask combined with a bonded acrylic splint expander was initially used to correct the developing skeletal Class III malocclusion.

Background: Orthodontic and surgical technical advances in recent years have resulted in treatment opportunities for a whole range of craniofacial skeletal disorders either in the adolescent or adult patient. In the growing child, these can include myofunctional orthodontic appliance therapy or distraction osteogenesis procedures, while in the adult, the mainstay approach revolves around orthognathic surgery. The literature agrees that for a change in craniofacial morphology to remain stable, the muscles acting upon the facial skeleton must be capable of adaptation in their structure and, therefore, their function.
