Abstract
ABSTRACTA change in condylar positioning is one of the area of concern following orthognathic surgery which may occur due to numerous reasons like paralysis of the muscles of mastication, fixation methods, malalignment of the bone segments and more commonly due to inadvertent force used to bring the jaws in to occlusion. Deranged position of condyle may lead to relapse following surgery and also causes TMD sequelae. Condylar position in the glenoid fossa can be secured during orthognathic surgery by using condylar positioning device. The role and design of the condylar positioning device has been discussed in detail in this technical note.How to cite this articleShah PD, Mukherji S.
