Popis:	Orthognathic surgery is one of the most important treatment options available to an orthodontist, especially in cases of significant skeletal malocclusions. In order to accurately measure any changes that may have occurred following orthognathic surgery, data regarding shape changes occurring in the temporomandibular joint is necessary. CBCT imaging can provide more complete three-dimensional information related to these changes than has been possible in the past. The use of three-dimensional CBCT data has allowed for a more complete analysis of changes that have taken place in the TMJ with orthognathic surgery, with changes primarily taking place bilaterally in posterior, superior, and lateral aspects of the condylar heads and posterior regions of the fossae.
