Assessment of temporomandibular joint space changes after orthognathic surgery in skeletal malocclusion patients: a systematic review

Evolution of temporomandibular joint-related clinical findings and patient reported quality of life after orthognathic surgery: a prospective multicenter study.

BACKGROUND Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD) are frequent in patients with dentofacial deformities. Orthognathic surgery aims to restore occlusion, facial aesthetics and function, but its effects on TMD and quality of life (QoL) remain controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the evolution of TMJD-related cli...

Outcomes of total temporomandibular joint replacement: a systematic review

Are postoperative pharyngeal airway changes associated with mandibular relapse after setback? A retrospective CBCT-cephalometric cohort study.

Postoperative narrowing of the pharyngeal airway is a well‑recognized consequence of mandibular setback surgery, yet whether this functional compromise actually drives skeletal relapse has not been definitively shown. In this retrospective cohort study, records of 41 patients with angle class III malocclusion who under...

Morphological changes of temporomandibular joint architecture in patients with temporomandibular disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

TMD appears to be associated with significant osseous and soft-tissue changes, including condylar flattening, erosions, osteophyte formation, sclerosis, reduced condylar volume, glenoid fossa variations, altered articular eminence morphology and inclination, disc displacement, disc morphological alterations, and change...

Association Between the Mandibular Cortical Index on Panoramic Radiographs and Mandibular Condylar Alterations After Osteotomy.

PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate whether the mandibular cortical index (MCI) on panoramic radiographs is associated with condylar morphological changes following orthognathic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study enrolled patients who underwent sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) or SSRO combi...

Early findings of morphological changes in the temporomandibular joint after orthognathic surgery in mandibular prognathism with facial asymmetry.

This study was performed to investigate early morphological changes in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), after patients with mandibular prognathism with facial asymmetry (MPA) received orthognathic surgery. The morphological changes in the TMJ were analyzed on computed tomography multi-sectional reconstructed images f...
