Article Abstract
Objective: Dentofacial disharmony is commonly addressed with orthognathic surgery. High-quality and readable information is essential for patients to make informed decisions about their healthcare. This scoping review aimed to collate and synthesize the literature regarding website-based information on orthognathic surgery.
Study Design: Five databases and the grey literature were searched without location or publication year restrictions. Eligible studies were selected using the PCC (Population, Concept, Context) framework under Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines.
Results: Nine cross-sectional studies satisfied inclusion criteria. The quality of information was found to be low to moderate. Much of the website content was too complex for the average reader to comprehend. Key information regarding risks and complications was commonly omitted. Higher ranking websites were identified as having lower Ensuring Quality Information for Patients scores. The search terms "orthognathic surgery" and "jaw operation" yielded more accurate information compared to alternative terms.
Conclusions: Websites contain low to moderate quality information regarding orthognathic surgery, often providing content too complex to read and understand. Improving the deficiencies identified in the present review is essential to aid informed decision-making by patients contemplating or undergoing an orthognathic surgery pathway.

Clinical Application of the Bilateral Abalakov Technique in Presurgical Orthodontic Decompensation: A Case Report.

Orthodontic decompensation prior to orthognathic surgery often requires complex mandibular tooth movements. These movements depend on stable posterior anchorage, which is not always reliably achieved with miniscrews or miniplates. This case report describes the case of an 18-year-old patient undergoing presurgical orthodontic treatment, in whom bilateral Abalakov anchorage was performed.

Background: A modified pull-through approach represents a promising treatment strategy to access tumors in the posterior oral cavity. The design of the wedge osteotomy plays a key role in preserving postoperative mechanical stability while enabling surgical access. However, the optimal osteotomy design to reduce fracture risk remains unclear.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of structured orofacial muscle rehabilitation training (OMRT) on the recovery of facial expression muscles in patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion after orthognathic surgery.
Study Design: This randomized controlled trial enrolled 56 skeletal Class II malocclusion patients who underwent orthognathic surgery. The intervention group received structured OMRT, while the control group received standard postoperative care.

Limited long-term 3-dimensional (3D) studies exist evaluating risk factors for condylar resorption following orthognathic surgery. Our aim was to evaluate patient demographics, clinical and radiographic characteristics, and orthognathic surgical effects on long-term postoperative condylar volume and height, and horizontal skeletal stability, using a 3D approach. Analysis of clinical data and cone-beam computed tomography before, and approximately two weeks and five years after surgery was carried out on 50 subjects (17 male, 33 female), mean (range) age 25.

Hyperdivergent skeletal Class II malocclusion is largely genetically determined and poses significant challenges in orthodontic treatment, particularly due to compromised facial aesthetics, reduced bite force and airway narrowing. Traditionally, orthognathic surgery has been the standard treatment for correcting such skeletal discrepancies. However, the advent of temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs) has expanded the possibilities for orthodontic camouflage by allowing effective vertical control.
