Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the post-operative skeletal stability after surgical correction of patients with mandibular prognathism by bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) and to evaluate the horizontal relapse tendency after the surgery. Methods: Twenty-six patients with Class III dental and skeletal malocclusion were selected for this retrospective study. Fifteen of them underwent BSSRO for mandibular setback and eleven of them underwent two-jaw surgery (Lefort I and BSSRO). In each patient, lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken pre-operatively, post-operatively within 1 week, and post-operatively after eight months. After tracing of the cephalometric radiographs, various parameters were measured. The analyses were done by linear measurement to evaluate the change in position of hard tissue B point, pogonion and mandibular plan angle by examination on lateral cephalograms. Results: The horizontal relapse rate was 27.1% at B point and 31.6% at pogonion in patients who underwent BSSRO. The horizontal relapse rate of the group where the amount of correction exceeded 10 mm was 25.69% at B point. Conclusion: There were no statistical differences on the magnitude of setback and direction of rotation of the mandible in mandibular stability. There were also no statistical differences between single mandibular surgery and two-jaw surgery for mandibular stability.

Purpose: This study evaluated the postoperative stability of counter clockwise rotation of the mandibular plane in anterior openbite patients, who have had one jaw surgery performed. Methods: This study includes patients with skeletal class III malocclusion accompanied by anterior openbite among the patients who have had BSSRO performed, resulting in counter clockwise rotation of the mandibule. We excluded the patients with genioplasty and segmental surgery, and included 23 patients who underwent BSSRO. Results: We found no statistical significance between the amount of counter clockwise rotation in the mandible in the Pearson correlation test. Also, there was no significant difference between Group 1 (< $3^{\circ}$) and Group 2 (> $3^{\circ}$). Conclusion: This study evaluated the amount of horizontal relapse, and the degree of relapse. Stable results were obtained. Although there was no statistical significance between the degree of openbite and the amount of horizontal relapse, the group with a greater amount of openbite had a greater amount of relapse.

Objective: We compared the skeletal and dental changes that resulted from the use of two methods of intermaxillary fixation (IMF)-miniscrews and surgical archwire-in 74 adult patients who had Class III malocclusion and were treated with the same orthognathic surgical procedure at a hospital in Korea. Methods: All the patients underwent Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy with rigid fixation. They were divided into two groups according to the type of IMF used-group 1 underwent surgical archwire fixation and group 2 underwent orthodontic miniscrew fixation. In a series of cephalograms for each patient, we compared vertical and horizontal tooth-position measurements: (a) immediately after surgery ($T_0$), (b) 3 months after surgery ($T_1$), and (c) 6 months after surgery ($T_2$). Cephalometric changes within each group were examined using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) while the independent samples t -test procedure was used to compare the two groups. Results: After surgery, the maxillary incisors tended to be proclined in both groups although there were no significant differences. Incisor overbite increased significantly in both groups from $T_0$ to $T_1$, and the miniscrew group (group 2) showed slightly greater overbite than the archwire group (group 1). Conclusions: This study suggest that the use of orthodontic miniscrews and orthodontic surgical archwire for IMF in adult patients results in similar skeletal and dental changes.

성장기 환자의 교정 치료에서 바람직한 치료 결과를 얻기 위해서는 성장을 정확하게 예측하는 것이 중요하다. 성장 과정은 개인마다 상당한 차이를 보이기 때문에 성장 평가를 위해서는 연대 연령이 아닌 생리적인 연령을 사용해야 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 사춘기 동안 발육하는 하악 제3대구치에서 치아성숙도를 측정하고 성장 평가 지표로서의 그 가치를 평가하고자 하는 데 있다. 연세대학교 치과대학병원 교정과에 내원한 성장기 여자 환자 270명을 대상으로 제3대구치의 치아 성숙도(Demirjian index), 경추의 골 성숙도(CVMI), 수완부 골 성숙도(SMI), 초경 연령 등을 평가하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과 Demirjian Index와 SMI, CVMI 간의 상관관계에서 SMI와 Demirjian index (r = 0.64), CVMI와 Demirjian index (r = 0.59)는 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다 (p < 0.001). 그러나 초경 연령과 Demirjian index간의 상관관계(r = 0.26)는 낮았으며 (p < 0.001), Demirjian index를 통해 평가한 제3대구치의 치아성숙도는 I, II, III급 부정교합 간에 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 제3대구치 치관이 완성되고 치근이 형성되기 시작하는 Demirjian index I단계 이상이면 SMI 10단계, CVMI 5단계 이상에 속하였다. 하악 제3대구치의 발육단계를 이용한 치아성숙도 평가는 경추 및 수완부 골성숙도와 조합하여 사용한다면 사춘기 성장 평가에 있어 하나의 보조적인 수단으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The factors related to relapse in 20 skeletal class III patients who performed two-jaw surgery with Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy was investigated. All patients were fixed with miniplate on the maxilla and three screws at each mandible. Cephalograms taken at preoperative, immediate postoperative and 8 months postoperative after surgery were traced and digitized. 1.The horizontal and vertical relapse of maxilla and mandibular chin points was within 1mm postoperatively. Compare to the preceding report concerning the mandibular set-back surgery only group, this reveals two-jaw surgery for mandibular prognathism using rigid fixation is more stable. 2.Although there was no significant relapse tendancy was observed at chin points, the screw tip land-marks moves anterio-superiorly and each side of the screws moved as a one unit. The screw tip points moved similar direction to the masticatory force and this movements might be influenced by the muscular tension to the distal segment of the mandible. 3.According to the regression analysis, the amount of horizontal and vertical movement of mandibular set-back influenced the mandibular relapse. However, direction and amount of maxillary surgical movement did not inf1uenced the maxillary and mandibular relapse.

Carotid cavernous sinus fistula(CCSF) is an abnormal communication at the base of the skull between the internal carotid artery and the cavernous sinus. Fistula is almost associated with extensive facial trauma as a result of direct or indirect forces. Most fistulas of traumatic origin develop as a result of fractures through the base of the skull, which cause the laceration of the internal carotid artery near the cavernous sinus. The signs and symptoms of CCSF are pulsating exophthalmosis, orbital headache, pain, orbital or frontal bruit, loss of visual acuity, diplopia and ophthalmoplegia. Angiography reveals a definite CCSF and a detachable balloon embolization is known to be the treatment of choice. Even though carotid cavernous sinus fistula is an uncommon complication after orthognathic surgery, several cases of CCSF due to congenital anomalies, pre-existing aneurysms and abnormally thickened maxillary posterior wall have been reported in the literature. We have experienced a case of CCSF after Le Fort I osteotomy for maxillary advancement in skeletal class III patient and the cause, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this case.

Purpose: The present study examined the reproducibility of an operation plan by comparing the jaw position of STO with the postoperative mandibular set back measurement in sagittal split ramus osteotomy. Methods: Thirty patients with class III dental and skeletal malocclusion and who were treated with BSSRO were reviewed. Three plain radiographs such as the panoramic view, the lateral cephalogram and the submentovertex view were taken before and after operation. Also, paper surgery for STO and model surgery were used to evaluate the amount of mandibular set back. Results: On the panoramic view, the amount of mandibular set back in STO was similar to the postoperative results of model surgery, but the amount of mandibular set back on the lateral cephalogram was smaller than the postoperative result of model surgery and then the amount of set back on submentovertex view was similar to the postoperative result of model surgery. Conclusion: Precise tracing and paper surgery should be performed for a combined expected STO in order to predict the exact amount of preoperative mandibular set back.

It is well known that the main factor which contributes to the relapse of orthognathic surgery for Cleft Lip and Palate (CLP) patients is post-operative scar on hard and soft palate of maxilla. Therefore, to compensate the amount of relapse, though it cannot be the perfect way to prevent orthodontic, orthopedic relapse, the Le-fort I osteotomy of maxilla and set-back osteotomy of mandible are generally carried-out simultaneously. We are to review the factors contribute to the relapse of CLP patients after orthognathic surgery through this clinical case : The relapse of Skeletal Class III tendency immediately after orthognathic surgery for grown up CLP patients.
