This study was intended to perform the influence of condyle positional change after surgical correction of skeletal Class III malocclusion after BSSRO in 20 patients(males 9, females 11) using computed tomogram that were taken in centric occlusion before, immediate, and long term after surgery and lateral cephalogram that were taken in centric occlusion before, 7 days within the period intermaxillary fixation, 24hour after removing intermaxillary fixation and long term after surgery. 1. Mean intercondylar distance was $84.45{\pm}4.01mm$ and horizontal long axis of condylar angle was $11.89{\pm}5.19^{\circ}$on right, $11.65{\pm}2.09^{\circ}$on left side and condylar lateral poles were located about 12mm and medial poles about 7mm from reference line(AA') on the axial tomograph. Mean intercondylar distance was $84.43{\pm}3.96mm$ and vertical axis angle of condylar angle was $78.72{\pm}3.43^{\circ}$on right, $78.09{\pm}6.12^{\circ}$on left. 2. No statistical significance was found on the condylar change(T2C-T1C) but it had definitive increasing tendency. There was significant decreasing of the distance between both condylar pole and the AA'(p<0.05) during the long term(TLC-T2C). 3. On the lateral cephalogram, no statistical significance was found between immediate after surgery and 24 hours after the removing of intermaxillary fixation but only the lower incisor tip moved forward about 0.33mm(p<0.05). Considering individual relapse rate, mean relapse rate was 1.2% on L1, 5.0% on B, 2.0% on Pog, 9.1% on Gn, 10.3% on Me(p<0.05). 4. There was statistical significance on the influence of the mandibular set-back to the total mandibular relapse(p<0.05). 5. There was no statistical significance on the influence of the mandibular set-back(T2-T1) to the condylar change(T2C-T1C), the condylar change(T2C-T1C, TLC-T2C) to the mandibular total relapse, the pre-operative condylar position to the condylar change(T2C-T1C, TLC-T2C), the pre-operative mandibular posture to the condylar change(T2C-T1C, TLC-T2C)(p>0.05). 6. The result of multiple regression analysis on the influence of the pre-operative condylar position to the total mandibular relapse revealed that the more increasing of intercondylar distance and condylar vertical axis angle and decreasing of condyalr head long axis angle, the more increasing of mandibular horizontal relapse(L1,B,Pog,Gn,Me) on the right side condyle. The same result was founded in the case of horizontal relapse(L1,Me) on the left side condyle.(p<0.05). 7. The result of multiple regression analysis on the influence of the pre-operative condylar position to the pre-operative mandibular posture revealed that the more increasing of intercondylar distance and condylar vertical axis angle and decreasing of condylar head long axis angle, the more increasing of mandibular vertical length on the right side condyle. and increasing of vertical lengh & prognathism on the left side condyle(p<0.05). 8. The result of simple regression analysis on the influence of the pre-operative mandibular posture to the mandibular total relapse revealed that the more increasing of prognathism, the more increasing of mandibular total relapse in B and the more increasing of over-jet the more increasing of mandibular total relapse(p<0.05). Consequently, surgical mandibular repositioning was not significantly influenced to the change of condylar position with condylar reposition method.

Destruction of normal temporomandibular joint architechture may produce serious functional and cosmetic deficiencies. The literature is well documented as to the etiology and pathogenesis of temporomandibular joints. Numorous surgical procedure have been advocated for temporomandibular joint ankylosis from condylectomy to arthroplasty, cartilage transplant, metallic prosthesis, interpositional implant. These were to able reconstruct the normal mandibular function, and any even procedure could obtain the satisfactory results. In this paper, we reviewed young adult patient with TMJ ankylosis and facial asymmetry who was treated with metallic condylar prosthesis and orthognathic surgery.

Obwegeser II method and Rigid fixation conserving the condylar position has been performed on 5 patients with severe mandibular prognathism, and we obtained the result after the follow up study follows. 1. Obwegeser II method is considered to move the distal segment passively when surgical correction of severe open bite correction and large amount of set back above 15mm is needed. 2. In one case that has more change of condylar position after operation, documented immediate post-operative relapse have been occurred 3. In the others that have adequate control of condylar position, passive set back and firm skeletal fixation, more functional and esthetic improvement and more post-operative stability has been achieved

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of panoramic radiography for diagnosis of temporomandibular joint. Five dry skulls were selected for this study and artificial osteophyte was attached to four different areas of the mandibular condylar head. And then, the author had taken panoramic radiographs with the head in conventional position, 25㎜ forward position and reverse position in mouth opening state. Three dental radiologists evaluated the radiographic images of osteophyte in 60 panoramic radiographs. The results were as follows: In conventional position, osteophyte on the anterolateral and anterocentral area of the condylar head was best seen (p<0.01). In 25㎜ forward position, osteophyte on the anterocentral and anteromedial area was best seen (p<0.05). In reverse position, osteophyte on the anterocentral area was best seen (p<0.05). Osteophyte on anteromedial area was better seen in 25㎜ forward position than in conventional position (p<0.05).

Objective: This study was carried out to evaluate the distribution and clinical features of patients with degenerative change of the mandibular condyle. Methods: Six thousand and seventy patients with TMD (temporomandibular cisorder) were selected for this study, who had complete initial clinical records and radiographs. Panorama and TMJ panorama radiographs were used to screen the degenerative change in the condyle, and the patients were divided into DJD (degenerative joint disease) and non-DJD groups. Results: The distribution. and clinical features of the two groups were compared. Out of the total number of patients, 31.7% were in the DJD group, and 68.3% were in the non-DJD group. The portion of females was larger in the DJD group (80.8%) than in the non-DJD group (67.5%), and the DJD group had high prevalence in the second and third decades. Lack of incisal contact, retrusive chin, facial asymmetry, and mouth opening limitation were the chief complaints of the patients who had positive relation to DJD. Conclusion: Patients with an orthodontic treatment history, CO-CR discrepancy and crepitation were at possible risk of having DJD.

During the condylar shaving procedure, the articular soft tissue cover can be removed. Author compaired the histological healing process of the articular soft tissue cover between the preservative and unpreservative group group with 45 New Zealand rabbits(Average wt. : about 2.5kg). In unpreservative group, the usual high condylar shave with the removal of soft tissue cover was performed. In the preservative group, the underlying bone, replaced in its original position and sutured. The animals were sacrified 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 weeks interval after operation. The specimens were fixed in 10% neutral formalin and decalcified, paraffin embedded and stained by Hematoxylin & Eosin, and Masson's trichrome. The obtained results were as follows. 1. The condyles of the both group were covered with an articular sop tissue layer. 2. The cartilage cells in subarticular layer has regular continuous patterns in the preservative group but frequently interrupted in the unpreservative group. 3. The incision made in the posterior part of the articular surface for the elevation of the articular soft tissue frequently caused a deformity such as the interruption of the subarticular layer of cartilage. 4. By the above findings, the preservation of articular sop tissue cover may be the effective operation method on concept of bone remodelling.
