Bac kground:The principlegoal of orthognathic surgery is to establish a balanced and stable dento-skeleto facial complex. This mandates the surgeon and the orthodontist to be able to predict the soft tissue changes to the orthognathic surgery precisely, which is accurately possible using 3-D imaging. Aims: To evaluate the soft tissue changes following class III orthognathic surgery using 3-D imaging. Settings and Design: Systematic review. Methods and Material:This review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and meta-Analyses guidelines systematically searching the six databases including PubMed, Cochrane, Google Scholar, LILACS, Directory of Open Access Journals, and OpenGrey. Statistical analysis used:Not applicable. Results: This systematic review comprises of most UpTo Date evidence from eleven articles answering the review questions. Conclusion: Le Fort I advancement shows significant increase in the alar width, alar cinch, upper lip, chelion, labiale superius, crista philtri, pronasale and subnasale. Mandibular setback shows significant backward movement of soft tissue point B, labialeinferius and subnasale and chin.

Abstract Background Although MRI is the gold-standard imaging method in the diagnosis of spondylodiscitis, role of follow-up imaging is debated and there can be discrepancies with regard to the significance of bony or soft tissue responses to treatment. Purpose of our study is to test whether the MRI changes on follow-up imaging correlate with laboratory findings of treatment response. Methods A total of 48 patients with pyogenic spondylodiscitis who underwent baseline and follow-up MRI were retrospectively reviewed. The extent of bone marrow edema, paravertebral soft tissue inflammation, and disc height were compared on baseline and follow-up MRIs with the C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) levels obtained from the medical records at baseline and on follow-up. Relationships between the MRI and laboratory changes were analyzed using the Spearmann correlation test. Results The mean MRI follow-up period was 42.25 days. Based on the CRP (resolved: n=19, resolving: n=19, and aggravated: n=10), there was significant correlation between the laboratory results and the changes in the bone and soft tissues (p < 0.01, both). The correlation was best with soft tissue changes (rho: 0.48) followed by bony changes (rho: 0.41). Based on the ESR (resolved: n=8, resolving: n=22, and worsened: n=18), the correlation was stronger with bone changes (rho: 0.45, p < 0.01) than it was with soft tissue changes (rho: 0.39, p = 0.01). Conclusion Follow-up MRI findings of pyogenic spondylodiscitis show variable tissue responses. CRP was best correlated with soft tissue changes, while ESR showed the best association with bony changes.
