Introduction: In the management of dentofacial deformities, variable movement of the maxilla can be made possible by a Le Fort I osteotomy. Posterior impaction of the maxilla necessary for rotation of the maxillomandibular complex enhances the functions and esthetic results. In cases of posterior impaction of the maxilla, an increase in the figure of the occlusal plane angle and incisor inclination can occur. Th is study reports the relationship between the amount of posterior impaction and the change in the occlusal plane angle and incisor inclination in a Le F ort I osteotomy by preoperative and postoperative lateral cephalograms. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients who had undergone orthognathic surgery in Dong-A University Medical Center participated in this study. Lateral cephalometrics, within 3 weeks prior to surgery and 3 days after surgery, were used for analysis. Pre and postoperative measurements of the occlusal plane angle and incisal inclination based on the Frankfort horizontal (FH) plane were performed. X and Y were defined as the amount of vertical change in the upper incisor tip and the amount of vertical change in the upper first molar mesial cup tip through the ope ration. The amount of final posterior maxillary impaction was determined by subtracting Y from X, which is the difference in vertical height. Accordi ng to the amount of posterior maxillary impaction, the change in the occlusal plane angle and incisal inclination was measured. Results: The average posterior maxillary impaction was 2.91 mm and the average change in the occlusal plane angle and incisal inclinatio n was 6.54�after surgery. As a result, each mm of posterior maxillary impaction changed the occlusal plane angle and incisal inclination b y 2.25� . Statistically, there was high significance. Two cases were observed: one with the same amount of posterior maxillary impaction performed on both the right and left showing 2.20� , and the other with a different amount of posterior maxillary impaction performed showing 2.35 � . In this case, there was no significance difference between the two cases. Conclusion: Each mm of posterior maxillary impaction changes the occlusal plane angle and incisal inclination by an average of 2.25 � . In posterior maxillary impaction, there was no significant difference in the amount of change in the occlusal plane angle and incisal inclin ation regardless of whether there was an equal amount of posterior maxillary impaction on both sides. This study is expected to help in the presurg ical orthodontic preparation and presurgical treatment planning.
