Orthognathic Surgery of the Mandible

Abstract: Orthognathic surgery performed in conjunction with orthodontic treatment is commonly performed to correct skeletal irregularities and realign the maxillomandibular relationship to improve occlusal function and facial esthetics. A thorough understanding of soft tissue esthetics, skeletal and occlusal relationships, and surgical techniques is required to obtain successful results. Surgical techniques have evolved greatly throughout history, as technological advances such as virtual surgical planning have become … Show more

“…Orthognathic surgery has become the standard procedure for the management of dentofacial deformities involving abnormal positions of the skeletal bases. Le-fort 1 osteotomy and the bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) have become the workhorses for repositioning the maxillary and mandibular skeletal bases respectively ( 1 , 2 ). All orthognathic surgeries are clean-contaminated surgeries with infection rates of 10-15% owing to the high microbial load of the oral cavity, nasal cavity, and maxillary sinuses ( 3 ).…”

“…1 Orthognathic surgery performed in conjunction with orthodontic treatment is commonly performed to correct skeletal irregularities and realign the maxillomandibular relationship, to improve occlusal function and facial esthetics. 2,3 Through this therapeutic approach, important dentofacial changes are achieved, which not only correct functional and aesthetic aspects, but also yield emotional benefits. 4 It is common for patients to report improvement in their self-esteem, self-image, and social integration after undergoing this surgery.…”

“…Long-term stability is affected by factors such as patient-related factors (neuromuscular adaptation, neuromuscular adaptation, age, masticatory function, pressure due to the adaptive position of the tongue, abnormal behavior of the oral muscle), orthodontic treatment (pre-and postoperative to create stable occlusion), surgical factors (surgical experience, condylar repositioning in the glenoid fossa and fixation material) depend (6,7). Before the surgery, orthodontic treatment is used due to arch coordination to maximize the optimal surgical position of the jaw and align the teeth, and after the surgery, it is done to improve occlusion and retention (8,9). Evidence shows that dental changes after surgery generally occur two to six years, and studies with a long follow-up period should be performed (6).…”
