RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The treatment for severe OSAS includes maxillomandibular advancement surgical option in selected cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the post-operative impact of bimaxillary surgery on satisfaction and consequently the quality of life of these patients. METHODS: This study included 18 patients with severe OSAS who received maxillomandibular advancement surgery. Patients were divided into Group A (operated by CAD/CAM) and Group B (conventional surgery). The impact of bimaxillary surgery on satisfaction and quality of life of these patients was evaluated by utilizing post-operative life quality and Rustemeyer's patient-satisfaction-based survey. RESULTS: A total of 18 adult OSAS patients (Group A: 11 patients, Group B: 7 patients) with a mean age of 44.39 years (SD ± 9.43) were included. Mean follow-up period was 32.64 months (SD ± 21.91). No intra-operative complications were seen in any patients. Post-operative complication was seen in one patient and the mandible did not integrate. According to the results, overall post-operative satisfaction score was 79.72% (SD ± 9.96). There was no significant difference among those in Group A and Group B. CONCLUSIONS: Maxillomandibular advancement surgery seems to be beneficial in terms of patients' satisfaction in severe adult OSAS patients and can be considered as a valuable option in selected cases.

Orthognathic surgery is a typical approach for treating maxillofacial deformities. However, orthognathic surgery results in positional changes in the condyles. In a previous review, the effects of orthognathic surgery on temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are not provided. Hence, in this study, we investigate the morphological changes in TMJs after mandibular and bi-maxillary osteotomies. The relationship between the morphological parameters of TMJs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) is discussed. Finite element contact stress analysis is performed, and the results show that the two abovementioned surgeries can improve maxillofacial deformities, although the positions of the condyles are changed. Moreover, preoperative stress asymmetry of the left and right TMJs is observed, which remain after the surgeries. TMD patient-specific analysis shows that three joint spaces (medial joint space, lateral joint space, superior joint space) are significantly correlated with TMD symptoms.

INTRODUCTION: Although multilevel surgery is the mainstay treatment for severe obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS), bi-maxillary surgery (maxillomandibular advancement [MMA]) is the most efficacious single procedure for the expansion of the whole pharyngeal airway. MMA is an alternative to the gold standard of continuous positive airway pressure and is equivalent to tracheotomy. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology was used to virtually assess the degree of mandibular and/or maxillary advancement and rotation required to obtain adequate posterior airway space (PAS) in eight patients (seven males, one female). The mean age of the patients was 45.5 years (range, 27-51 years), and the average body mass index was 28.9 kg/m2 (range, 21.9-31.8 kg/m2). RESULTS: The study group showed significant mandibular advancement, widening of the PAS, and reduction of the apnoea hypopnea index (p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001, and p < 0.0002, respectively). Moreover, patient satisfaction scores regarding postoperative facial profile changes showed excellent compliance. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that bi-maxillary surgery is an efficient single surgical procedure in patients with multilevel OSAS. CAD-CAM technology aided surgeons in performing this operation precisely and enabled patients to expect specific facial profiles.

INTRODUCTION: The restoration of normal jaw function, optimal facial aesthetics and long term stability are the goals of any orthognathic surgical procedures. During the last two decades, several cephalometric investigations have been reported on the skeletal changes following maxillary surgical procedures. The stability following LeFort I osteotomy and maxillary superior repositioning of the maxilla has not been studied extensively. AIM: This study was aimed at determining the surgical changes brought about by superior repositioning of the maxilla by Le Fort I osteotomy and evaluate the stability of the surgical procedure one year following surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Presurgical and postsurgical and one year post surgical lateral cephalograms of 10 adult patients (age group - 17 to 40 years, with a mean age of 22.2 years) who had been treated successfully by maxillary Le-Fort I osteotomy and impaction were obtained. The lateral cephalograms were grouped into three categories: T1- Presurgical, T2- Postsurgical, T3- One year postsurgical. Comparisons were made between T1-T2 and T2-T3 to assess the changes following surgery and to evaluate the stability, one year following the surgery using 5 horizontal, 5 vertical linear and 2 angular measurement. Statistical analysis was done with SPSS (Version 17). Results were expressed as mean±standard deviation. A paired t-test was used to analyze the paired observations. RESULTS: The difference between T1 and T2 values of vertical changes showed that they were statistically highly significant whereas from T2 to T3 they were insignificant. The difference between T1 and T2 values of all the horizontal changes showed that they were statistically significant whereas True Vertical Line (TVL) to point Anterior Nasal Spine (ANS) was not statistically significant. The horizontal changes from T2 to T3 were statistically not significant whereas TVL to point Incisal edge of upper incisor (Is) was statistically significant. The angular changes from T1 to T2, T2 to T3 were statistically not significant. CONCLUSION: There was a significant reduction in the facial height and significant anterior movement of maxilla after surgery. Even after one year of surgery, negligible amount of relapse was recorded except at the incisors.
RESUMEN
Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar sistematicamente as evidências disponíveis para recidiva do tratamento da mordida aberta esquelética usando dispositivos de ancoragem temporária e cirurgia ortognática. Material e Métodos: Cinco bases de dados eletrônicas como MEDLINE, COCHRANE, SCIELO, GOOGLE SCHOLAR, EMBASE foram pesquisadas sistematicamente até junho de 2020. Os estudos de qualidade metodológica foram classificados por meio da Ferramenta de Avaliação de Qualidade do Projeto de Práticas de Saúde Pública Eficazes (EPHPP). Resultados: No total, 1.005 estudos foram identificados para triagem e 6 estudos foram elegíveis. O instrumento de avaliação da qualidade apresentou qualidade moderada para todos os estudos. A correção imediata pós-tratamento da mordida aberta foi melhor nos estudos cirúrgicos do que nos estudos tratados com TADs. Conclusão: A estabilidade dos resultados do tratamento da mordida aberta anterior foi comparável nos casos tratados em ambas as modalidades de tratamento. A recidiva da mordida aberta anterior foi associada a casos em que a sobremordida pós-tratamento foi mínima. A sobremordida parece ser mais estável quando apenas a maxila foi operada do que com cirurgias bimaxilares. A rotação anti-horária da mandíbula com subsequente redução da altura facial anterior foi melhor na correção cirúrgica do que através de TADs (AU)
Objective: The purpose of this study is to systematically assess the available evidence for relapse of skeletal open bite treatment using temporary anchorage devices and orthognathic surgery. Materials and Methods: Five electronic databases such as MEDLINE, COCHRANE, SCIELO, GOOGLE SCHOLAR, EMBASE were systematically searched up to June 2020. Methodological quality studies were graded by means of the Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP) Quality Assessment Tool. Results: In total, 1005 studies were identified for screening, and 6 studies were eligible. The quality assessment tool showed moderate quality for all the studies. The immediate post treatment correction of open bite was better in the surgical studies than in the studies treated with TADs. Conclusion: Stability of treatment results of anterior openbite was comparable in cases treated in both the treatment modalities. Relapse of anterior open bite was associated with cases in which the posttreatment overbite was minimal. Overbite seems to be more stable when only the maxilla has been operated on than with bi-maxillary surgeries. Counterclockwise rotation of the mandible with subsequent reduction of anterior facial height was better in surgical correction than through TADs. (AU)

Esthetic analysis of the face in some patients presenting a dental Class II can reveal the need for maxillo-mandibular advancement surgery. In these cases, mandibular advancement alone would provide a result which was satisfactory from the occlusal viewpoint but esthetically displeasing. Using bi-maxillary advancement, the impact of nasal volume is reduced and the nasolabial relationship is corrected. The sub-mandibular length is increased, thus creating a better-defined cervico-mental angle. This treatment technique involving a prior mandibular procedure has the advantage of restoring patients' dental occlusion while optimizing their facial esthetics.
