Abstract
The potential impact of systemic comorbidities has not yet been thoroughly explored in orthognathic surgery. Therefore, the following scoping review was conducted to accumulate evidence on the possible impact of systemic comorbidities on the orthognathic surgery complications. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases were searched up to April 2022 to identify studies about patients with systemic comorbidities who underwent orthognathic surgery. A total of 12,938 articles were screened, and seven articles met the inclusion criteria. Only one study had control group, other six articles had a non-comparative study design. The current evidence suggests a high impact of rheumatic diseases and neuromuscular disorders on the surgery- and patient-related postoperative complications following orthognathic surgery. At the same instance, the findings of the review should be interpreted with caution due to a lack of substantial evidence for extrapolating the findings to a contemporary surgical practice.
