| Popis: | Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate if a correlation exists between: a) transverse changes in the proximal segments because of mandibular setback surgery and b) postsurgical horizontal relapse of the mandible. Patients and Methods A total of 42 patients underwent bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy setback with rigid fixation and Le Fort I osteotomy performed by 1 surgeon between 1986 and 2000. The radiographic material for this study consisted of posteroanterior and lateral cephalometric radiographs for each patient taken preoperatively (T1), early postoperatively (T2), and late postoperatively (T3). Twenty-four of the 42 identified patients had T1, T2, and T3 radiographs, while the remainder of the patients had only T1 and T2 radiographs available. The posteroanterior radiographs were used to evaluate the angulation of the proximal segment and the intergonial width. Results Statistically significant increases in intergonial width and proximal segment angulation occurred from T1 to T2. In fact, all 42 patients had an increased intergonial width from T1 and T2. From T2 to T3, most patients underwent some relapse in their transverse dimension changes (21 of 24 patients had a decrease in their intergonial width). Overall, the intergonial width and the proximal segment angulations were significantly increased from T1 to T3. However, there was no significant correlation between the amount of transverse displacement of the proximal segment and horizontal postsurgical relapse of the mandible. Conclusion The results show that statistically significant changes in the transverse width and angulation between proximal segments occur in patients undergoing bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy for mandibular setback with rigid fixation. However, the magnitude of the changes was small, and it is still uncertain as to whether these changes are of any clinical significance. |
