Objective: This systematic review was performed to assess the potential influence of orthognathic surgery on root resorption (RR).
Material And Methods: An electronic search was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Central and Embase for articles published up to April 2022. Following inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of six articles were selected that reported on RR following orthognathic surgery. Risk of bias assessment was performed according to the ROBINS-1 and ROB-2 tools.
Results: The design of five studies was retrospective and one randomized clinical trial was included, with a follow-up period ranging between six months and ten years. The assessment methodologies mostly relied on two-dimensional imaging modalities where only one study used cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for objective quantification via linear measurements. The percentage of teeth affected by RR varied between approximately 1 and 36%, where surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) and Le Fort I osteotomy showed the highest percentage of RR followed by bilateral sagittal split osteotomy.
Conclusions: The present data tend to indicate that specific orthognathic procedures such as SARME and Le Fort I osteotomy may induce or reinforce RR. Yet, considering lack of evidence related to objective quantification of RR following orthodontic and/or orthognathic treatment, further CBCT-based prospective studies are required for an improved understanding of RR following different surgical procedures.

The surgical ciliated cyst is a newly added entity under the cysts of the jaws in the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Head and Neck Tumours (2022). It is preceded by a prior surgery to the jaw many years before its diagnosis. A 53-year-old Chinese female, who had undergone cleft lip and palate repair followed by orthognathic surgery before the age of 20, was referred for management of an incidentally found cyst in the left maxilla.

Condylar hyperplasia (CH) is a complex, usually unilateral pathology affecting the jaw, leading to facial asymmetry and malocclusion. Its etiology is unclear, with potential links to endocrine disorders, trauma, and genetic factors. Unilateral condylar hyperplasia (UCH) typically presents in young patients but can occur at any age.

Skeletal Class III malocclusion deformity is one of the most common maxillofacial malocclusions in East Asia and is either due to maxillary retrusion, mandibular protrusion, or both. It could cause functional and aesthetic problems. This deformity could be attributed to either hereditary or environmental factors or both.

Congenital infiltrating lipomatosis of the face is a rare aggressive-benign disorder characterized by progressive hemifacial overgrowth and complex, often asymmetrical, facial differences. Recently linked with the PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum, it arises from mosaic mutations in the PIK3CA gene. Treatment, largely supportive and tailored to individual clinical presentations, requires a multidisciplinary approach.

In this case report, a 19-year-old male patient with maxillary transverse deficiency, concave profile, and facial asymmetry is presented. In the case of transversal insufficiency, nonsurgical maxillary expansion was performed with the miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) appliance to reduce the number of surgeries and provide both dentoalveolar and skeletal expansion. The periodontal soundness and short-term stability of the maxillary expansion were confirmed both clinically and radiologically.
