Popis: Orthognathic surgery treatment (OGS) after orthodontic treatment of dentofacial deformities is a widely performed procedure, often accompanied by a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). Positioning of the condyle during this procedure is a crucial step for achieving optimal functional and anatomical results. Intraoperatively poorly positioned condyles can have a negative effect on the postoperative result and the patient’s well-being. Changes of the condylar position during OGS Procedures and its effects on the temporomandibular joint in orthognathic surgical interventions (OGS) are subject of scientific discussions. However, up to date, no study has investigated the role of condyle position in the surgery first treatment concept. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of OGS on the three-dimensional position of the condyle in the joint in a surgery first treatment concept without positioning device and to record the change in position quantitatively and qualitatively. Analysis of our data indicated that OGS in surgery first treatment concept has no significant effect on the position of the condyle and the anatomy of the temporomandibular joint.
