Article Abstract
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 25.62 (18-51) years. Multiple significant predictive factors for horizontal skeletal relapse and loss of condylar volume and height were identified which, when combined, were indicative of progressive condylar resorption. The magnitude of mandibular advancement, vertical movement, and preoperative body mass index (BMI) explained 50% of the variance in horizontal skeletal relapse, with mandibular horizontal advancement being the most important factor (31%). Significant predictive factors for long-term loss of condylar volume comprised preoperative BMI and mandibular plane angle, mandibular horizontal advancement, and vertical movement. Loss of condylar height was significantly associated with preoperative condylar volume, condylar neck inclination, and horizontal mandibular advancement. In conclusion, horizontal skeletal relapse and loss of condylar volume and height were affected by multiple predictive factors indicating a multifactorial correlation. The magnitude of mandibular advancement had the largest effect on long-term horizontal skeletal relapse, however, it also had a significant impact on loss of condylar volume and height. Preoperative BMI, mandibular plane angle, condylar volume, condylar neck inclination, and surgical vertical movement were also identified as significant predictive factors for long-term horizontal skeletal relapse and loss of condylar volume and height.

Complex cases often require interdisciplinary specialist care when multiple structures in the stomatognathic system have developed significant problems. Treatment planning uses detailed problem and solution analysis and coordination of multiple clinicians for a predictable, practical result consistent with the patient's priorities. The foundation of this process is knowing exactly what each team member does in their practice.

Objective: To evaluate morphological changes in the mandibular condyle (MC) during its remodeling following bimaxillary orthognathic surgery in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion.
Material And Methods: İn this study 32 three-dimensional virtual models of the condylar process of the mandible from 16 patients with skeletal class III malocclusion have been analyzed. The models were generated from computed tomography scans performed one week before (T) and 12 months after (T) bimaxillary orthognathic surgery.

Anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADDwoR) of the temporomandibular joint often accompanies temporomandibular joint osteoarthrosis, resulting in changes in the morphology of the condyle, especially in adolescents. In this study, 324 condyles of 247 adolescents with ADDwoR, treated conservatively, were analysed through qualitative evaluations and quantitative measurements, in order to assess the process of changes in condylar morphology. The morphology of the condyle with continuous cortex exhibited greater stability in comparison with the whole sample, and the likelihood of bone loss in this category was reduced (P < 0.

Background: Normal nasal breathing is crucial for the harmonious growth of craniofacial bones, whereas obstructed nasal breathing not only hampers craniofacial growth but also induces chronic systemic hypoxia. This study compared the effects of mandibular advancement (MA) on condylar remodelling under normal nasal breathing (NNB) and unilateral nasal obstruction (UNO).
Methods: Forty 12-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into NNB, UNO, NNB + MA and UNO + MA groups.
