Three-Dimensional Cephalometric Analysis: The Changes in Condylar Position Pre- and Post-Orthognathic Surgery With Skeletal Class III Malocclusion.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

The study includes 21 adult patients with skeletal class III malocclusion who underwent orthognathic surgery and had computed tomography images records presurgery (T0) up to 6 months after the surgery (T1). The computed tomography images were analyzed three-dimensionally using the Proplan CMF 3.0 software. Different skeletal and dental parameters were used in analyzing the cephalometric analysis of the patients. The change in the condylar axis angle was evaluated on 3 planes: axial, coronal, and sagittal. The anteroposterior position of the condyle in relation to the glenoid fossa was evaluated in the sagittal plane. ∠SNB, ∠ANB, ∠Left Y-axis, ∠Right Y-axis were statistically significant (P < 0.01). Significant differences on the condylar axis angle were found between the g
