Orthognathic surgical procedures on non-growing patients with maxillary transverse deficiency

open access: closedSeminars in Orthodontics, 2019
Abstract The treatment of maxillary transverse deficiency in post-pubertal patients has been an area of disagreement among orthodontists. Much of the controversy is over the timing of when it is appropriate for these patients to be referred to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for an adjunctive surgical procedure or whether traditional orthodontic ...

Three-Dimensional Changes in the Upper Airway of Skeletal Class III Patients After Different Orthognathic Surgical Procedures

open access: closedJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2017
We hypothesized that 3-dimensional changes in the upper airway of patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion are different after mandibular setback and maxillary advancement (MSMA) compared with mandibular setback (MS) and that upper airway changes and the amount of jaw movement are correlated.Skeletal Class III patients who underwent MS surgery or ...

Surgical accuracy of three-dimensional virtual planning: a pilot study of bimaxillary orthognathic procedures including maxillary segmentation

open access: closedInternational Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2015
This retrospective study evaluated the precision and positional accuracy of different orthognathic procedures following virtual surgical planning in 30 patients. To date, no studies of three-dimensional virtual surgical planning have evaluated the influence of segmentation on positional accuracy and transverse expansion.

Custom-Machined Miniplates and Bone-Supported Guides for Orthognathic Surgery: A New Surgical Procedure

open access: closedJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2016
Several surgical strategies exist to improve accuracy in orthognathic surgery, but ideal planning and treatment have yet to be described. The purpose of this study was to present and assess the accuracy of a virtual orthognathic positioning system (OPS), based on the use of bone-supported guides for placement of custom, highly rigid, machined titanium ...
