The study aimed to evaluate surgical angles for tuberosity cut and linear and angular measurements for all horizontal cuts in Le Fort I osteotomy using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).This study included 189 CBCT scans to assess the surgical angles on 3 different sites distal to maxillary second molars relative to the midsagittal plane (MSP) and the buccal cortical plane (BCP) in relation to the descending palatine foramen for tuberosity cut. The linear and angular measurements for all horizontal cuts in Le Fort I osteotomy were also evaluated.The mean surgical angles for tuberosity cut varied from 58.90 to 95.28° and 74.85 to 100.93° according to the MSP and the BCP, respectively. For the horizontal cuts, mean lengths (angles) for posterior buccal and lateral nasal wall osteotomies were 27.44 mm (13.62°) and 33.20 mm (9.60°), respectively, and a mean length of 47.12 mm was measured for nasal septum osteotomy. Additionally, the presence of impacted third molar resulted in significantly higher mean surgical angles than those with fully erupted or without third molars (p 0.01).Overall, angles running through the buccal midpoint of the third molars relative to the MSP (76.56°) or the BCP (92.31°) might be the most appropriate in clinical practice. Furthermore, some caution seems warranted when performing tuberosity cuts with the impacted third molars.To avoid potential damage to the descending palatine artery for tuberosity cut in Le Fort I osteotomy. |
