| Popis: | This prospective observational study evaluated changes in the 3-dimensional position and remodeling of the mandibular rami, condyles, and chin at splint removal and 1 year after mandibular advancement surgery.Presurgery, splint removal (4-6 weeks postsurgery), and 1-year postsurgery cone-beam computed tomography scans of 27 subjects were used. Superimposition on the cranial base was used to assess positional or remodeling changes in the anatomic regions of interest. Surface distance displacements were visually displayed and quantified by 3-dimensional color maps. A 1-sample t test was used to assess the average postsurgical changes of each region of interest. The level of significance was set at 0.05.After antero-inferior chin displacement with surgery (mean, 6.81 +/- 3.2 mm at splint removal), the average 1-year postsurgery displacement was not statistically significant (P = 0.44). Postsurgical adaptations greater than 2 mm were observed in 48% of the patients: 16% with an additional anterior-inferior displacement of the chin of 2 to 4 mm, and 4% withor= 4 mm; 20% had postero-superior movement of 2 to 4 mm, and 8% had postero-superior movement ofor= 4 mm. The condyles tended to move, on average,or= 2 mm supero-posteriorly with surgery, and this small positional displacement was maintained 1 year postsurgery (right condyle, P = 0.58; left, P = 0.88). The rami exhibited outward (lateral) movements with surgery, with greater displacement of the inferior part of the rami (2 mm in 65% of the subjects). This torque of the ramus with surgery was stable 1 year postsurgery.Three-dimensional assessment of skeletal changes with mandibular advancement surgery shows that nearly half of the patients have2 mm change in chin position from splint removal to the 1-year follow-up, with approximately equal chances of anterior and posterior movement. Torque of the rami usually occurs with mandibular advancement surgery. |
