Relapse in class II orthognathic surgery: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Relapse after orthognathic surgery seems to depend on diverse factors. Proffit et al. postulated in 2007 a "hierarchy of stability" (Head Face Med 6:66, 2007), ranking posttreatment stability after various orthognathic procedures, but no systematically reviewed evidence was provided. Therefore, the aim of this review was to investigate the extent of class II relapse in orthognathic surgery of Angle class II patients depending on the surgical procedure used.

Materials and methods

Seven databases were searched for randomized and controlled clinical trials to compare relapse in surgical procedures for Angle class II patients. After duplicate study selection, data extraction and risk of bias assessment were performed with the ROBINS-I tool as well as data synthesis by
