This study was concerned with comparing the measured values of labial alveolar bone through the lateral cephalometric radiography and mandibular incisor cross-sectional tomogram between two groups, one group of mandibular prognathism patients who needed an orthognathic surgery as an experimental group and the other group who had normal molar relationships as a control group. The purpose of the study was to find out the predisposing factor of bone resorption and gingival recession before orthodontic treatment. The results were as follows: 1. The cross-sectional area of labial alveolar bony plate in mandibular prognathism was significantly smaller than that of control group. 2. In mandibular prognathism, the distance between cementoenamel junction and alveolar crest was significantly greater than control group. 3. There were negative correlations between area of labial alveolar bony plate and distance from cementoenamel junction to alveolar crest, and positive correlations between area of labial alveolar bony plate and distance from alveolar crest to root apex. 4. In mandibular prognathism, there were positive correlations between IMPA and thickness of symphysis, and negative correlations between IMPA and the alveolar bony height. The results of the present study suggest the mandibular prognathism patients are prone to the gingival recession due to the small amount of labial alveolar bone around lower incisors.

The purpose of this study was to examine soft tissue and hardtissue changes following orthognathic surgery in patients with mandibular prognathism lateral cephalometric films were obtained immediate before surgery, 48 hours following surgery, and 6 months following surgery. 18 patients were selected (10 men, and 6 women) for this study, who had received orthognathic surgery. Statistical analysis for the each time interval differences were performed with the SPSS package The results were as follows, *In the cases of mandibular sagittal split osteotomy 1 LI point was moved backward (average 7.55mm) 48 hours following surgery. 6 months later, it was returned forward (average 1.1mm) Relapse rate was 14.6% 2 Pog was moved backward (average 8.3mm) 48 hours following surgery The ratio of horizontal change of soft tissue to hard tissue at pog is 0.95 1 *In the cases of maxillary Le-Fort I osteotomy & mandibular sagittal split osteotomy. 3. A point was moved forward (average 3.31mm) 48 hours following surgery. 6 months later, it was returned backward (average 0.31) Relapse rate was 9 4% 4 6 months later, the ratio of facial convexity angle change of soft tissue to hard tissue is 0.63 1.

Purpose: This study was aimed at analysis of the changes in the condyle position in subjects with mandibular setback osteotomies Method: Twenty patients were evaluated retrospectively for their changes in the condyle position who underwent surgical mandibular setback using bilateral sagittal split osteotomies with a manual condyle repositioning technique and rigid fixation. The cephalometric and panoramic analysis was performed preoperatively, 1 week, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. And postoperative noise, temporomandibular joint pain, and mouth opening were clinically examined 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 8 months, 10 months, and 12 months postoperatively. Result: The condyles rotated posteriorly and laterally immediately after surgery, and they returned to the preoperative position during follow-up period but it is not significant. The statistical analysis (Paired t-test) showed no significant effects in postsurgical stability. The changes in the condyle position didn't have a significant harmful influence on temporomandibular joint disorder. Conclusion: A careful surgical mandibular setback using manual condyle repositioning and fixation technique will move condyle minimally and that will decrease the relapse and temporomandibular joint disorder.

Maxillary-malar deficiency is the most frequently occurring midface dentofacial deformity. Clinicaly patients with maxillary-malar deficiency exhibit malar and infraorbital rim deficiency and class III malocclusion. For treatment of these deformities, modified LeFort III osteotomy have been used. Modified LeFort III osteotomy advances maxilla with orbital rims and zygomatic bone anteroposteriorly. This is a case of patient who had severe mandibular prognthism with midface deformity. We performed modified LeFort III osteotomy for maxillary-malar advancement and simultaneous bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy for mandibular prognathism and autogenous iliac bone graft.
