A 22-year-old male patient had developed a submasseteric abscess secondary to a mandibular osteomyelitis at the age of 7 years old. The initial presentation at that time seems to be acute suppurative parotitis. The computed tomographic scans taken before surgery demonstrated diffuse deformity, sclerotic change and osteolytic lesion in the mandible. There was no marrow space on both sides of mandibular ramus and thin-walled cortical bone was seen. So, from the results of the computed tomography, the surgery was performed intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) instead of performing the more commonly used bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO). In this report, we present a case of surgical correction of mandibular prognathism with fibrous-osseous lesion of mandible with using IVRO.

Preoperative and postoperative TMJ symptoms were observed in mandibular prognathism of 30 patients operated on by Le Fort I osteotomy and intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy. The alterations of TMJ symptoms were investigated and the relationship between changes of TMJ symptoms and some cephalometric values including occlusal plane angle, mandibular plane angle, posteior ramal height and a degree of deviation of mandibular incisor midline to facial midline were observed. The results are as follows. The incidence of patient with TMJ symptoms before orthognathic surgery was 40% and after orthognathic surgery was 20%. The most frequetly encountered symptoms in orthognathic TMJ dysfunction patients were TMJ pain and/or clicking. After surgery 66% of the preoperative symptomatic patients reported improvement TMJ symptoms. On the orther hand 2 patient (6%) of the preoperative asymptomatic patients developed TMJ symptoms after surgery. Preoperatively, 60% of the facial asymmetric patients with mandibular prognathism had TMJ symptomas. The more severe facial asymmetry was, the higher incidence of TMJ symptoms was. The alteration of occlusal plane angle and mandibular plane angle seems to be one of the contributing factors which make to change TMJ symptoms in orthognathic patients. But its amount seems to be low significance. Increase or decrease of posterior ramal height have influence on the change of TMJ symptoms.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the skeletal and dental changes after intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) with and without presurgical orthodontics by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 24 patients (mean age, 22.1 years) with skeletal Class III malocclusion who underwent bimaxillary surgery with IVRO. The patients were divided into the preorthodontic orthognathic surgery (POGS) group (n = 12) and conventional surgery (CS) group (n = 12). CBCT images acquired preoperatively, 1 month after surgery, and 1 year after surgery were analyzed to compare the intergroup differences in postoperative three-dimensional movements of the maxillary and mandibular landmarks and the changes in lateral cephalometric variables. Results: Baseline demographics (sex and age) were similar between the two groups (6 men and 6 women in each group). During the postsurgical period, the POGS group showed more significant upward movement of the mandible (p < 0.05) than did the CS group. Neither group showed significant transverse movement of any of the skeletal landmarks. Moreover, none of the dental and skeletal variables showed significant intergroup differences 1 year after surgery. Conclusions: Compared with CS, POGS with IVRO resulted in significantly different postsurgical skeletal movement in the mandible. Although both groups showed similar skeletal and dental outcomes at 1 year after surgery, upward movement of the mandible during the postsurgical period should be considered to ensure a more reliable outcome after POGS.

양악 수술에서 교합평면의 위치설정은 수술 후 새로운 위치에서의 안정성을 결정하는 중요한 요인으로써 악교정 수술환자의 진단과 치료 계획시 반드시 고려되어져야 한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 악교정 수술 계획시 Delaire의 구조적 구성적 방법으로 이상적인 교합평면을 설정한 경우 교합평면의 장기적인 안정성에 대해서 고찰해봄으로써 향후 악교정 수술의 진단 및 치료계획에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 골격성 제 III급 부정교합 환자 중 Delaire의 구조적 구성적 방법으로 이상적인 교합평면을 설정하여 양악수술을 시행받은 환자 25명 (남자 8명, 여자 17명, 평균 연령 $23.2{\pm}3.17$세)를 대상으로 하여, 수술후 교합평면의 안정성에 대한 평가를 시행하였다. 수술직전($T_1$)과 수술직후($T_2$, 평균 15.4일), 수술 후 최소 1년 이상 경과후($T_3$, 평균 32.6개월)을 비교함으로써 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 양악 수술 후 교합평면각의 유의성 있는 변화는 없었으며, 수술방법(SSRO, IVRO)에 따른 유의성 있는 변화를 보이지 않았다. 2. 술후 교합평면의 변화는 수술에 의한 악골의 이동량이나 posterior impaction의 양, 수술후 경과시간과 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 3. 수술 후, SSRO 시행군에서는 유의하게 하악골의 전방이동이 일어났으며, IVRO 시행군에서는 하악골이 후하방 이동하면서 gonial angle과 하악평면각이 증가함으로써 하악 치아의 정출이 발생하였다.

Objectives: In the present study, the effects of sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) combined with intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) for the treatment of asymmetric mandible in class III malocclusion patients were assessed and the postoperative stability of the mandibular condyle and the symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) evaluated. Materials and Methods: A total of 82 patients who underwent orthognathic surgery for the treatment of facial asymmetry or mandibular asymmetry at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dong-A University Hospital, from 2016 to 2021 were selected. The patients that underwent SSRO with IVRO were assigned to Group I (n=8) and patients that received bilateral SSRO (BSSRO) to Group II (n=10, simple random sampling). Preoperative and postoperative three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) axial images obtained for each group were superimposed. The condylar position changes and degree of rotation on the superimposed images were measured, and the changes in condyle based on the amount of chin movement for each surgical method were statistically analyzed. Results: Group I showed a greater amount of postoperative chin movement. For the amount of mediolateral condylar displacement on the deviated side, Groups I and II showed an average lateral displacement of 0.07 mm and 1.62 mm, respectively, and statistically significantly correlated with the amount of chin movement (P=0.004). Most of the TMD symptoms in Group I patients who underwent SSRO with IVRO showed improvement. Conclusion: When a large amount of mandibular rotation is required to match the menton to the midline of the face, IVRO on the deviated side is considered a technique to prevent condylar torque. In the present study, worsening of TMD symptoms did not occur after orthognathic surgery in any of the 18 patients.

하악 전돌증의 치료를 위해 외과적인 술식이 교정임상분야에 도입된 이래로 많은 임상적인 성공사례가 보고되어 왔으며 최근에 와서는 하악골 후퇴술의 대표적 술식으로 구내 시상 분할 골절단술(SSRO)과 구내 상행지 수직 골절단술(IVRO)이 주로 시행되고 있다. 물론 이 두가지 술식 모두 만족스러운 술후 결과를 얻을 수 있으나 술후 안정성과 재발의 양상과 정도가 다르게 나타나고 있다. 그러나 하악 후퇴술후 시간경과에 따른 재발의 정도에 관한 국내의 연구는 국외에 비해 다소 부족한 상황이며, 특히 시상 분할 골절단술과 상행지 수직 골절단술후의 재발양상에 관한 비교 연구는 아직 없는 실정이다. 이에 저자는 골격성 III 급 부정교합자의 악교정 수술 후 수술방법에 따른 재발 양상과 장기적 안정성을 알아보고자 구내 시상 분할 골절단술로 시행받은 24명(남자 10명, 여자 14명)과 구내 상행지 수직골절단술로 시행받은 26명 (남자 10명, 여자 16명)의 수술 직전(T1), 수술 직후 48시간 이내(T2), 수술 후 4-8주(T3), 수술후 6개월 이상(T4)등 4장의 측모두부방사선 사진을 계측하여 두 군간의 기간별 재발 양상과 각 군내의 타 변수들과의 상관성에 관해 검증하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 하악골의 수평적인 초기 재발은 시상 분할 골절단술군에서는 전방 이동, 상행지 수직 골절단술군에서는 후방 이동양상을 보였다. 2. 두 군 모두에서 하악골의 수직적인 초기 재발과 후기 재발은 전안면고경이 감소하는 쪽으로 일어났으며 두 군간의 유의차는 없었다. 3. 시상 분할 골절단술군에서 수술시 근심절편의 후방회전이 많을수록 하악골의 수평적인 후기 재발이 더 전방으로 일어났다. 4. 두 군 모두에서 수술시 하악골 후퇴량이 많을수록 하악골의 수평적인 초기 재발이 더 전방으로 일어났다.

Facial asymmetry is the most frequent disease in craniofacial deformities. And the primary causing area of that is mostly placing in mandible. That is to say, it is known that primarily, mandible grows excessively or deficiently, and other facial region involving maxilla undergoes compensatory growth secondarily, so asymmetric face develops. In facial asymmetry, the surgical correction of undergrowth is more difficult than that of overgrowth and the reason of it is the postoperative relapse caused by stress of surrounding soft tissues. It means the stress of surrounding soft tissues occurring after bone lengthening and reducing above stress is the same meaning with reducing postoperative relapse. Among various areas, mandibular ramus is the most difficult area to lengthen vertically and maintain its length. The reason of it is considered by many authors as the stress of surrounding pterygomasseteric sling which is enveloping lower border of mandible and interrupting elongation of ramal height. So we applied two different surgical procedures in which pterygomasseteric slings have different stress respectively to monkeys which have similar masticatory function and anatomy to human being and compared relapse by radiographic film and observed periodically the histochemical change of masseteric muscle fiber. So we could see the following results. The relapse was less in EVRO group in which we separated pterygomasseric sling in inferior border and didn't approximate muscle sling after vertical lengthening to minimize the stress of soft tissues than IVRO group in which we elongated ramal height preserving pterygomassetric sling. Of course, we could see a problem in EVRO group such as bone resorption in inferior border caused by uncovering the periosteum of inferior border. But we expect that such problem will be solved by developing periosteum substitutes for covering the exposed bone and minimizing the surgical trauma. In histochemical study of masseteric muscle fiber, the fiber constituents of EVRO group in which we minimized soft tissue stress was changed immediately after operation and maintained it for 1 year, whereas that of IVRO group in which we preserved soft tissue stress was changed in more portion after operation and recovered it by 1 year. By the histochemical results, we can see that the recovery of fiber constituents reflect the recovery of muscle stress and it is closely related with relapse phenomenon.

Objectives: The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the amount of postoperative drainage via closed suction drainage system after intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) and sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO). Materials and Methods: We planned a retrospective cohort study of 40 patients selected from a larger group who underwent orthognathic surgery from 2007 to 2013. Mean age (range) was 23.95 (16 to 35) years. Patients who underwent bilateral IVRO or SSRO were categorized into group I or group II, respectively, and each group consisted of 20 patients. Closed suction drainage system was inserted in mandibular osteotomy sites to decrease swelling and dead space, and records of drainage amount were collected. The data were compared and analyzed with independent t-test. Results: The closed suction drainage system was removed at 32 hours postoperatively, and the amount of drainage was recorded every 8 hours. In group I, the mean amount of drainage was 79.42 mL in total, with 31.20 mL, 19.90 mL, 13.90 mL, 9.47 mL, and 4.95 mL measured at 0, 8, 16, 24, and 32 hours postoperatively, respectively. In group II, the mean total amount of drainage was 90.11 mL, with 30.25 mL, 25.75 mL, 19.70 mL, 8.50 mL, and 5.91 mL measured at 0, 8, 16, 24, and 32 hours postoperatively, respectively. Total amount of drainage from group I was less than group II, but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P=0.338). There was a significant difference in drainage between group I and group II only at 16 hours postoperatively (P=0.029). Conclusion: IVRO and SSRO have different osteotomy design and different extent of medullary exposure; however, our results reveal that there is no remarkable difference in postoperative drainage of blood and exudate.
