Abstract
This study aims to assess the postoperative condylar displacement after orthognathic surgery using three-dimensional analysis of computed tomography. This retrospective study included 64 condyles from 32 patients with skeletal Class II (Group 1, n=16) and III (Group 2, n=16) deformities. All patients underwent a bimaxillary surgery. The three-dimensional CT images were evaluated to assess condylar displacement. The condyle exhibited mainly superior and lateral torque immediately after surgery. Posterior displaced condyles were found in two cases in group 1 (Class II malocclusion). The present study found the condyle displacement that can be mistaken as posterior displacement of condyle in analysis of sagittal sections of CT scans.
