Short-term changes in muscle activity and jaw movement patterns after orthognathic surgery in skeletal Class III patients with facial asymmetry

Abstract: Objective To evaluate the short-term changes in masticatory muscle activity and mandibular movement patterns after orthognathic surgery in skeletal Class III patients with facial asymmetry. Methods Twenty-seven skeletal Class III adult patients were divided into two groups based on the degree of facial asymmetry: the experimental group (n = 17 [11 male and 6 female]; menton deviation ≥ 4 mm) and control group (n = 10 [4 male and 6 female]; menton deviation < 1.6 mm).

“…In addition, the more the menton deviated from the center, the more vertical extrusion appeared on the nondeviated side. Kim et al 25 observed short-term changes in mandibular movement and chewing patterns in skeletal Class III adult patients with facial asymmetry. They found that the patients recovered their muscle activity Table 4.…”

“…This might imply that the imbalance of occlusal force does not correlate with the distribution of muscle activity. EMG studies [ 19 , 39 , 40 , 41 ] evaluated healthy and asymptomatic subjects who showed asymmetric muscle activity and concluded that unbalanced or asymmetrical activity is not a muscle pathology in healthy subjects. Naeije et al [ 19 ] showed that the asymmetry in muscle activity depends on the clenching level.…”

“…Las indicaciones más comunes para el tratamiento quirúrgico son las clases II y III esqueléticas severas, y las discrepancias esqueléticas verticales en pacientes que ya no están en crecimiento 35 . El objetivo del tratamiento no es solo mejorar la estética facial y la oclusión funcional, sino lograr la recuperación del sistema estomatognático 36 .…”
