AI Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of two surgical procedures for patients with internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint, focusing on their impact on pain, tenderness, and jaw movement.
- Patients were divided into two groups: one receiving modified condylotomy (MC) and the other high-condylar shave with eminectomy (HCSE).
- Results showed that after one year, those in the MC group experienced significantly less pain and tenderness than those in the HCSE group, indicating better clinical outcomes for the MC procedure.
Article Abstract
Purpose: A proper anatomical disc-condyle position is a prerequisite to prevent progressive deteriorating changes within the temporomandibular joint. Surgery becomes the primary treatment option for patients who do not recover with nonoperative management. The present study aimed to compare the clinical outcome of 2 different surgical procedures in patients with internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint.
Methods: A prospective clinical cohort study was conducted among patients presenting to outpatient department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences. The study sample was alternatively allocated into 2 treatment groups; Group I: modified condylotomy (MC) and Group II: high-condylar shave with eminectomy (HCSE). The primary outcome variables included pain on function, tenderness on palpation, and maximum mouth opening. The secondary outcome variables included joint sounds, jaw deviation on opening, maximum protrusive jaw movement, maximum ipsilateral jaw movement, and maximum contralateral jaw movement. The covariates were age, sex of the patient, duration of illness, the diagnosis based on Wilkes's staging, and the laterality (whether unilateral or bilateral). Descriptive, comparative, and regression analyses were conducted.
Results: Twenty-one patients with Wilkes Stage II, III, and IV were included in the study (MC: 10 patients and HCSE: 11 patients). The mean age of the study sample was 32.67 (±11.66) years. Among 21 patients recruited in our study, 18 were females. It was observed that after 1-year follow-up, patients in Group I had significantly lower pain on function (0.30 ± 0.48) compared with Group II (3.00 ± 1.18). (P < .001). Similarly, tenderness on palpation was significantly decreased in Group I (0.80 ± 0.48) compared with Group II (2.45 ± 0.93; P < .001). Joint sounds were significantly lower in Group I (1.20 ± 0.63) compared with Group II (2.27 ± 0.90) after 1 year (P < .001). Maximum protrusive jaw movement and maximum ipsilateral jaw movement were significantly higher in Group I compared with Group II after 1 year.
Conclusion: MC is a comparatively better surgical procedure than HCSE in patients with internal derangement of the TMJ.

Jawline improvement using patient-specific angle implants with virtual planning in orthognathic surgery.
J Craniomaxillofac Surg

Department of Oral and Maxillo-Facial Surgery, Head and Neck Institute, University Hospital Center of Nice, 31 avenue de Valombrose, 06100, Nice, France; Nice Côte d'Azur Clinical Research Unit (UR2CA), France. Electronic address:
There has been a recent increase in the global demand for jawline augmentation. Managing angle definition in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery remains challenging owing to the characteristics of classic mandibular osteotomy, which mostly allows sagittal mandibular movements but cannot modify the ramus height. The advent of computer-assisted surgical planning and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing techniques for patient-specific implant fabrication has introduced new methods for jawline management.

Objective: Two-jaw surgery corrects jaw deformities by adjusting occlusion and reshaping the jaw. This technique carries a high risk of pharyngolaryngeal injury due to frequent head and neck movements during intraoperative maneuvers and prolonged intubation, although the details remain unclear. This study explored the frequency and causes of postoperative pharyngeal complications following maxillary translocation.

Objectives: This study determined the prevalence and risks of definite sleep bruxism (SB) among children and adolescents presenting for orthodontic treatment.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 7-16-year-old subjects pursuing orthodontic treatment for the first time. The presence or absence of SB was determined using an overnight mandibular movement monitoring inertial measurement sensor, worn by each participant for two consecutive nights.

Objective: Evaluation of the accuracy of direct digitization of maxillary scans depending on the scanning strategy.
Materials And Methods: A maxillary model with a metal bar as a reference structure fixed between the second molars was digitized using the CEREC Primescan AC scanner (N = 225 scans). Nine scanning strategies were selected (n = 25 scans per strategy), differing in scan area segmentation (F = full jaw, H = half jaw, S = sextant) and scan movement pattern (L = linear, Z = zig-zag, C = combined).
Changes of temporomandibular joint space volume during 1 year after transoral vertical ramus osteotomy in patients with mandibular asymmetry.

This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the difference in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) space volume between the deviated (Dev) and non-deviated (NDev) side following transoral vertical ramus osteotomy (TOVRO) in patients with mandibular prognathism combined with asymmetry using reconstructed 3-dimensional images. Sixty joints from 30 patients who underwent TOVRO between January 2018 and December 2021 were included. Computed tomography (CT) or cone-beam CT was performed before surgery (T0), and 6 (T1) and 12 months postoperatively (T2).
