Alterations in the Temporomandibular Joint Space Following Orthognathic Surgery Based on Cone Beam Computed Tomography: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Orthognathic surgery represents a surgical modality for the correction of craniofacial skeletal deformities. These procedures help achieve stable occlusion and improve facial symmetry, which in turn enhances functional outcomes and overall quality of life. However, to date, no consensus has been reached regarding whether orthognathic surgery also induces changes in the relationship of articular surfaces within the temporomandibular joints (TMJs). The primary objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of research evaluating joint space dimensions based on CBCT imaging performed before and after orthognathic surgery. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was carried out across four electronic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochran
