Background: The purpose of this study is to compare the skeletal stability of two-jaw surgery via surgery-first approach with conventional two-jaw surgery in facial asymmetry patients by measuring the skeletal changes after surgery from a three-dimensional analysis. From January 2010 to January 2014, 40 patients with facial asymmetry who underwent two-jaw surgery in Pusan National University Hospital were included in this study. They were classified into experimental group (n = 20) who underwent two-jaw surgery via surgery-first approach and control group (n = 20) who underwent conventional two-jaw surgery. After selection of 24 landmarks and the construction of horizontal and sagittal, coronal reference planes, changes in 10 linear measurements and 2 angular measurements were compared between the surgery-first approach and conventional groups in the preoperative, immediate postoperative, and postoperative periods. The paired t test and Student t test were used for statistical analysis. The mean and standard deviation of the measurement were calculated for the experimental and control groups. Results: The statistical analysis showed that changes in skeletal measurements were similar between the surgery-first approach and conventional groups, according to each period. However, U1-SRP measurement showed statistically significant changes in surgery-first approach groups at postsurgical change (T1 to T2). Also, the mean treatment duration in the treatment group was 15.9 ± 5.48 months whereas that in the control group was 32.9 ± 14.05 months. Conclusion: In facial asymmetry patients, similar results were observed in the postoperative skeletal stability when 2-jaw surgery via surgery-first approach was compared with conventional 2-jaw surgery. However, significant lateral deviation of upper incisor midline was observed. In addition, a shorter average treatment duration was observed. To stabilize the unstable occlusion after surgery, increased wearing of the stent and proactive rubber guidance will be needed.

The purposes of this study were to compare the soft tissue changes following hard tissue change after surgery between the one jaw and two-jaw surgery in skeletal class III patients and to get the reference of the incisal inclination at presurgical orthodontics. For this study 24 patients for the two-jaw surgery group and 18 patients for one jaw surgery group were selected. Lateral cephalograms were taken at pretreatment, after presurgical orthodontic treatment, immediately after surgical treatment and at least 6 months after surgery. They were traced and analyzed on skeletodental structure and soft tissue. The results were as follows: 1. After surgery, maxilla, maxillary incisors and upper lip were moved anteriorly and superiorly in two-jaw surgery group. Mandible and mandibular incisors were moved posteriorly and superiorly, and thickness of lower lip was increased in both group but there were no statistically significant difference. Anterior facial height was more decreased in two-jaw surgery group (p<0.05). At least 6 months after surgery, by the postorthodontic treatment, maxillary incisors were moved labially 1.44mm, mandible and mandiibular incisors were moved lingually 1.43mrn, 1.26mm respectively in one jaw surgery group. But there was no statistically significant changes of hard tissue in two :jaw surgery group. 2. The correlation coefficients of maxillary hard and soft tissue horizontal changes were high in two jaw surgery group and the ratios for soft tissue to A point were 19% at Sri, 80% at SLS, 82% at LS. The ratios for soft tissue to B point were 92% at LI, 104% at ILS in one jaw surgery group, 89% at LI, 101% at ILS in two-jaw surgery group. 3. The correlation coefficients and change ratios of mandibular incisors and LL HS on lower lip horizontal changes were 0 0.89 and 75%, 85% in one jaw surgery group, 0.93, 0.90 and 76%, 87% in two-jaw surgery group. The correlation coefficients of maxillary incisors and Sn, SLS and LS on upper lip horizontal changes were 072, 0.76 and 0.75 in two jaw surgery group and ratios of changes were 57%, 58% and 59%. 4. The regression equations between skeletal horizontal discrepancy and incisal inclinaton were taken in one jaw surgery group. Those were FMIA=57.48-2.17ANB, U1-SN=-75.02+2.17SNB and $R^2$ were 0.63, 063 respectively. So if there is skeletal horizontal discrepancy by mandibular prognathism in one jaw surgery case, we consider attaining more labial inclination of maxillary incisors than normal and more lingual inclination of mandibular incisors than normal. But correlation coefficient of the regression equations in two jaw surgery group was low, so, that equation was not reliable.

Background: This study are to identify the symptomatic changes and condylar stability after 2 jaw surgery without preceding treatments for Temporomandibular joints(TMJ) in class III patients with the TMJ symptoms; and to assess therapeutic effect of 2 jaw surgery and the necessity of preceding treatment for alleviation of TMJ symptoms. Methods: 30 prognathic patients with preexisting TMJ symptoms were divided into 2 groups according to presence or absence of preceding treatments before the surgery. We evaluated symptomatic changes on both TMJ by questionnaires and clinical examinations. And we reconstructed 3D cone beam computed tomography images before 2 jaw surgery, immediately after the surgery, and 6 months or more after the surgery with SimPlant software, and analyzed the stability of condylar position on 3D reconstruction model. Significances were assessed by the Wilcoxon signed rank test on SPSS ver. 20.0. Results: Both groups had favorable changes of TMJ symptoms after orthognathic surgery. And postoperative position of condyle had good stability during follow-up period. Conclusion: 2 jaw surgery without preceding treatments for TMD can have therapeutic effect for TMD patients with class III malocclusion.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of relapse following orthognathic surgery and the relationship between preoperative state and the methods of orthognathic surgery in skeletal Class III patients. Thirty-one patients were selected(17 men, and 14 women) for this study, who had received orthognathic surgery(20 one jaw surgery, and 11 two jaw surgery). The mean age was 22.5 years. Their lateral cephalograms, that were taken preoperatively, immediate postoperatively and follow-up over one year, were traced and analysed. The results were as follows : 1. In two jaw surgery, mandibular length, lower facial height and lower lip length were 4.24mm, 4.64mm and 4.13mm longer than in one jaw surgery, respectively But in two jaw surgery, overjet was 3.13mm shorter than in one jaw surgery. 2. In one jaw surgery, mandible was moved back $8.95\pm4.45mm$ at B point. In two jaw surgery, maxilla was moved forward $5.15\pm3.46mm$ and mandible was moved back $7.24\pm9.11mm$ at B point. 3. Between postoperation and follow-up over one year, A point, A' point, Pn and Sn were moved backward 1.02 $\pm$ 2.14mm, $1.73\pm1.63mm,\;1.05\pm1.48mm\;and\;1.55\pm1.37mm$ in two jaw surgery, respectively. 4. Between postoperation and follow-up over one year, in one jaw surgery, B point was moved forward $2.58\pm4.22mm$ and B' point was moved forward $1.95\pm4.39mm$. In two jaw surgery, B point was moved forward $0.65\pm2.88mm$ and B' point was moved forward $0.19\pm3.32mm$. In one jaw surgery, relapse rate was $28\%$ at B point and $24\%$ at B' point, whereas in two jaw surgery, relapse rate was $8\%$ at B point and $3\%$ at B' point.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the patterns of skeletal changes of proximal and distal segments after one jaw surgery and two jaw surgery with posterior impaction using SSRO on mandible in order to determine the skeletal origin of relapse and compare the stability of surgical methods in anterior open bite. The points and lines from lateral cephalometrics were measured before, after surgery, and at least 6-month follow up period. And then, the positional change of the proximal and distal segment were evaluated respectively. The results obtained were as follows; In cases of two jaw surgery, the results were stabler because they had less relapse factors. In cases of one jaw surgery, the value of APD were increased but it didn't relapse to the original value. Both of proximal and distal segments were responsible for the relapse tendency. But in one jaw surgery, the rotation of proximal segment was more responsible, and in two jaw surgery, the rotation of distal segment was.

Objectives: It is unclear whether the extent of intraoral mucosa defects in patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw indicates disease severity. Therefore, this study investigated whether mucosal lesions correlate with the true extent of osseous defects in stage I patients. Materials and Methods: Retrospectively, all patients with stage I medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw who underwent surgical treatment between April 2018 and April 2019 were enrolled. Preoperatively, the extent of their mucosal lesions was measured in clinical evaluations, and patients were assigned to either the visible or the probeable bone group. Intraoperatively, the extent of necrosis was measured manually and with fluorescence. Results: Fifty-five patients (36 female, 19 male) with 86 lesions (46 visible bone, 40 probeable bone) were enrolled. Intraoperatively, the necrotic lesions were significantly larger (P<0.001) than the preoperative mucosal lesions in both groups. A significant (P<0.05) but very weak (R2<0.2) relationship was noted between the extent of the mucosal lesions and the necrotic bone area. Conclusion: Preoperative mucosal defects (visible or probeable) in patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw do not indicate the extent of bone necrosis or disease severity.

The patient's appearance can be dramatically enhanced as a result of orthognathic surgery. However, esthetic contouring of the mandibular body portion is often overlooked in the surgery. Restoring a more beautiful jaw line is important and directly affects surgical results. From December 2010 to February 2012, we performed mandibular body contouring for the slimming of the third lower part of the face in 37 patients who had undergone either 1-jaw surgery or 2-jaw surgery. The third lower part of the facial contour was improved in all the patients after at least 3 months follow-up. Mandibular body contouring is a simple method that can be additionally used for the slimming of the third lower part of the face in patients who require orthognathic surgeries. It makes the lower face look more attractive from both the anterior and lateral perspectives.

After making the surgical treatment plan, the surgical movements are duplicated in the model surgery. During this procedure, reference points and lines are drawn on the base of the models over the dental arch, and sawcuts are made according to these marked osteotomy lines. This method requires more accuracy for better postsurgical results in that the surgical splint which enables the surgeon to position the jaws intraoperatively is made from the casts as repositioned by the model surgery, and finally it will define the postsurgical results. This technique, however, has been found to be inexact, especially when the jaws are moved in several dimensions simultaneously. To overcome this, different methods have been developed for an accurate repositioning of the jaws as planned. A new appliance, Surgical Jaw Relator, was devised by the author for the simple 3-dimensional relocation of the upper and lower models, resulting in the easy construction of the splints such as centric relation splint, intermediate and final splint. This article describes an introduction and a clinical application of this appliance.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the postoperative skeletal stability of two-jaw surgery (Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy) via surgery first orthodontic treatment (SFOT) in class III malocclusion. Methods: Thirty-two patients who had two-jaw surgery via SFOT were included in this study. Serial lateral cephalograms were obtained before (T0), immediately after (T1), and six months after (T2) surgery. Twelve variables were measured for horizontal and vertical skeletal stability as well as for dental change. All measurements were evaluated statistically by a paired t-test ($P$ <0.05). Results: The mean skeletal changes were $0.1{\pm}2.5$ mm at point A and $-12.0{\pm}7.4$ mm at the pogonion. The mean horizontal relapse was 11.6% at the pogonion, and the mean vertical surgical changes included an upward displacement of $2.1{\pm}7.1$ mm and a forward displacement of $1.4{\pm}4.6$ mm at the pogonion. Upper incisor inclination decreased after surgery and was maintained at T2, and lower incisors were proclined from T1 to T2 by postsurgical orthodontic treatment. Conclusion: Postoperative skeletal stability of two-jaw surgery via surgery first orthodontic treatment in class III malocclusion was clinically acceptable.
