Popis: Background/Purpose: Postoperative skeletal relapse is the most important issue in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery. This study aimed to investigate clinical skeletal relapse (≥2 mm) after mandibular setback surgery (intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy: IVRO) using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) analysis. Methods: Serial cephalograms of 40 patients with mandibular prognathism were obtained at different time points: (1) before surgery (T1), (2) immediately after surgery (T2), and (3) at least with a 2-year follow-up postoperatively (T3). The menton (Me) was used as the landmark for measuring the amount of mandibular setback and postoperative skeletal relapse. Postoperative stability (T32) was divided into groups A and B by skeletal relapse ≥2 mm and
