Three-dimensional evaluation of mandibular condyle changes following orthognathic surgery in Class III patients
Key Points
The research aims to evaluate changes in the mandibular condyle after orthognathic surgery in Class III patients.
Conducted a three-dimensional assessment of mandibular morphology post-surgery.
Focused on patients with Class III malocclusion undergoing orthognathic surgery.
Analyzed early adaptations in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
TMJ adaptation observed was within physiological limits.
Condylar remodeling was identified as a multifactorial process.
Changes were found to be predictable following the surgical intervention.
Abstract
Early TMJ adaptation after Class III orthognathic surgery appears predictable and remains within physiological limits, emphasizing the multifactorial nature of condylar remodeling.
