Several articles have discussed mandibular condyle position after bilateral sagittal split osteotomies (BSSO). However, previous studies have sought to establish a relationship between orthognathic surgery and the improvement of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) signs and symptoms. Also, they have been limited to two-dimensional evaluation of condylar position considering only the condylar "sag" or improper inferior seating of the condyle. The purpose of this study was to investigate a relationship between changes in condylar position using three-dimensional computed tomography and the negative clinical impact of BSSO on the temporomandibular joint.How to cite this article: Kalach Mussali AJ, Gonzalez-Magana F, Malagon Hidalgo HO. Correlation between mandibular condylar position and clinical dysfunction index after bilateral sagittal split osteotomies. J
Using the Le Fort II osteotomy in nonsyndromic nasomaxillary hypoplasia is a helpful and left away technique, because of its complexity. The authors give a step-by-step detailed description of the surgical technique with perioperative management. In summary, the steps provided give unique information about this reproducible and aesthetic technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
