Purpose. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between the pharyngeal airway space and head posture after mandibular setback surgery for mandibular prognathism.Materials and Methods. Serial lateral cephalograms of 37 patients with mandibular prognathism who underwent intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) were evaluated before (T1) and immediately (T2), between 6 weeks and 3 months (T3), and more than 1 year (T4) after surgery. Pairedt-tests and Pearson’s correlation analysis were used to evaluate the postoperative changes in all cephalometric parameters, including the mandible, hyoid, head posture (craniocervical angle), and pharyngeal airway space.Results. The mandible and hyoid were set back by 12.8 mm and 4.9 mm, respectively, at T2. Furthermore, the hyoid showed significant inferior movement of 10.7 mm, with an 8 mm increase in the tongue depth. The upper oropharyngeal airway (UOP) shortened by 4.1 mm, the lower oropharyngeal airway (LOP) by 1.7 mm, and the laryngopharyngeal airway by 2 mm. The craniocervical angle showed a significant increase of 2.8°. UOP and LOP showed a significant correlation with the craniocervical angle at T2 and T4.Conclusions. Our findings conclude that the oropharyngeal airway space is significantly decreased and correlated with a change in the head posture after mandibular setback surgery.

Purpose. The aim of this study was to determine changes in the tongue area and pharyngeal airway space (PAS) after intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO). Materials and Methods. Serial lateral cephalograms of 40 patients with mandibular prognathism who underwent IVRO were evaluated before (T1), immediately after (T2), and more than 1 year after (T3) surgery. Paired t -tests and Pearson’s correlation analysis were used to evaluate the postoperative changes in the mandible, nasopharyngeal airway (NOP), retropalatal pharyngeal airway (RPP), retroglossal pharyngeal airway (RGP), hypopharyngeal airway (HOP), PAS, and tongue area (TA). The null hypothesis states that there are no significant correlations among the extent of mandibular setback and the changes in the TA and PAS after IVRO. Results. Immediately after the operation (T12), the mandible was set back by 12.6 mm. The NOP, HOP, and PAS were significantly reduced by 35.7 mm2, 116 mm2, and 185 mm2, respectively. The TA was increased by 69.6 mm2. The changes in PAS and TA revealed no significant difference between female and male patients at T12, T23, and T13. Moreover, no significant correlations were found among the extent of mandibular setback, TA changes, and PAS changes after IVRO. Thus, the null hypothesis was accepted. Conclusions. At the final follow-up (T13), no significant change was found in the PAS (including NOP, RPP, RGP, and HOP) and TA. The changes in PAS and TA revealed no significant difference between female and male patients at T12, T23, and T13.

Objective. The purpose of this study was to investigate postoperative stability and the correlation between hyoid, tongue, and mandible position following surgery for mandibular prognathism.Materials and Methods. Thirty-seven patients, treated for mandibular prognathism using intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO), were evaluated cephalometrically. A set of four standardized lateral cephalograms were obtained from each subject preoperatively (T1), immediately postoperatively (T2), six weeks to three months postoperatively (T3), and more than one year postoperatively (T4). The Studentt-tests, the Pearson correlation coefficient, and the multiple linear regression were used for statistical analysis.Results. Immediately after surgery, menton (Me) setback was 12.8 mm, hyoid (H) setback was 4.9 mm, and vallecula epiglottica (V) setback was 5.8 mm. The postoperative stability significantly correlated (r=-0.512,p<0.01) with the amount of setback. The hyoid bone and tongue did not have significant effects on postoperative stability. Multiple linear regression model (R2=0.2658,p<0.05) showed predictability: Horizontal Relapse Me (T4-T2) = −6.406 − 0.488Me (T2-T1) + 0.069H (T2-T1) − 0.0619V (T2-T1).Conclusion. Mandibular setback surgery may push the hyoid and tongue significantly backward, but this did not correlate with mandibular relapse. Postoperative stability significantly correlated with the amount of mandibular setback.

Objective.To investigate the factors affecting intraoperative hemorrhage and postoperative sequelae after orthognathic surgery.Materials and Methods.Eighty patients with mandibular prognathism underwent surgical mandibular setback with intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO). The correlation between the blood loss volume and postoperative VAS with the gender, age, and operating time was assessed using thet-test and Spearman rank correlation coefficient. The correlation between the magnitude of mandibular setback with the presence of TMJ clicking symptoms and lip sensation was also assessed.Results.The mean operating time and blood loss volume for men and women were 249.52 min and 229.39 min, and 104.03 mL and 86.12 mL, respectively. The mean VAS in men and women was 3.21 and 2.93, and 1.79 and 1.32 on the first and second postoperative days. There is no gender difference in the operating time, blood loss, VAS, TMJ symptoms, and lip numbness. The magnitude of mandibular setback was not correlated with immediate and long-term postoperative lip numbness.Conclusion.There are no gender differences in the intraoperative hemorrhage and postoperative sequelae (pain, lip numbness, and TMJ symptoms). In addition, neither symptom was significantly correlated with the amount of mandibular setback.

Aim: To cephalometrically evaluate the alterations taking place in the pharyngeal airway space, hyoid bone, soft palate, and head posture after mandibular setback surgery (bilateral sagittal split osteotomy) for correction of mandibular prognathism, as well as to evaluate the immediate postsurgical and more than 6 months postsurgical adaptations of these structures. Setting and Design: A retrospective cephalometric study. Materials and Method: The study group consisted of 40 nongrowing patients (20 females and 20 males) with mandibular prognathism and ANB less than or equal to –2 degree for which mandibular setback surgery by bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy was performed along with fixed appliance therapy. There presurgical (T1), immediate postsurgical (T2), and more than 6 months postsurgical (T3) lateral cephalograms were analyzed. Statistical Analysis Used: Intragroup comparison was done by paired t-test. Results: Skeletal measurements after orthognathic surgery remained stable in the long term. It was evident that mandibular setback surgery narrowed the pharyngeal airway; however, these changes were not significant except at the base of the tongue. During the follow-up airway measurements at the base of the tongue, the intersection of tongue at the inferior border of mandible and the vallecula increased but they did not reach the presurgical values. Soft palate length increased significantly after surgery. Angulation of soft palate to nasal line also increased significantly following surgery but decreased during follow-up. Extension of the head occurred after surgery which was maintained even at long term. Conclusion: Careful analysis of airway should be performed, particularly in connection with large anteroposterior discrepancies and in those who have risk factors for development of obstructive sleep apnea. Such cases should be corrected by combined maxillary and mandibular osteotomies.

Purpose. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the correlation between the postoperative stability and area of pterygomasseteric sling (PMS). Materials and Methods. Forty patients of mandibular prognathism were treated by isolated mandibular setback. Serial lateral cephalograms were collected (preoperatively [T1], immediately after surgery [T2], and more than 1 year postoperatively [T3]). The postoperative stability (T32) was divided into 3 groups (total, forward, and backward movements). The areas of PMS, immediate surgical changes (T21), postoperative stability (T32), and final surgical change (T31) were analyzed by Student’s t-test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression analysis. Results. The amount of mean setback (T21) was 12.6 mm in total group, 13.8 mm in forward group, and 10.8 mm in backward group. In the total group, postoperative stability (T32) was 0.6 mm forward and reduction area of PMS (T31) was 291 mm2 (17.2%). The reduction area of PMS (T31) was 298.2 mm2 (18%) and 263.1 (15.3%) mm2 in the forward group (3 mm) and backward group (2.4 mm), respectively. However, reduction area of PMS (T31) showed weak correlation with postoperative stability (T32) in all groups. Conclusion. Total and forward groups presented significant correlations between postoperative stability (T32) and amount of setback (T21).
