Filter by:Patients with skeletal class III malocclusion were allocated to two groups. Both proximal and distal segments were repositioned using osteotomy/screw holes and plate locating surgical guides with pre-bent plates osteosynthesis in the intervention group, while manual free hand condylar segment seating was used for proximal segment positioning in the control group.
Oral functions of patients are markedly diminished immediately after orthognathic surgery, and novel approaches are needed to accelerate their recovery. The aim of this study is to examine the usefulness of weekly applications of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for this purpose, based on evidence of its effectiveness in other types of patients with muscle alterations. The main objective is to determine whether weekly TENS applications can increase the bite force and jaw opening in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery and decrease their pain and inflammation
Using retrospective medical records to analyze the difference between the analysis of the correlation between operation time, blood loss, anesthesia methods, anesthesia medication, and postoperative recovery time
This study is set up within the framework of the European Union regulation 2017/745 on medical devices. Its objective is to confirm the performance and safety of the Global D implants (ORTRAUTEK® and MINITEK®) used for orthognathic surgery.
Preventing pre-surgical stress can help patients achieve positive outcomes on health and well-being. However, very few patients receive adequate stress relief support prior to a surgical procedure. Provision of education and information about the surgery can be a crucial component of the preoperative experience and is inversely related to levels of preoperative anxiety. However, resource constraints make face-to-face education sessions untenable, given cost considerations and time investment by trained health personnel. Interventions based on mobile health (mHealth) technologies, geared towards increasing familiarity with surgical procedures and hospital environments have been shown to help patients feel informed about possible benefits and risks of available treatment options. mHealth apps and Virtual Reality (VR) can offer patients experience in the perioperative environment that can be helpful in empowering patients and enhancing a more positive experience, while reducing stress. However, available applications focus only on providing informative content, neglecting the importance of patient empowerment with a more robust educational curriculum. According to this, the Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) CARINAE, aims to support patients and caregivers during the whole perioperative process. SaMD CARINAE consists of an mHealth mobile application for patients and caregivers, a Virtual Reality headset for patients, and a web application for healthcare professionals.
The unstable condylar position in the glenoid fossa is a critical problem for postsurgical instability after mandibular advancement with subsequent mandibular relapse. The habitual forward occlusion in class II patients creates unstable condyle to glenoid fossa relationship making it hard for clinicians to determine the amount of mandibular advancement. Splint therapy is considered as a preoperative reversible nonsurgical condylar repositioning option in addition to its adjunctive effect for pain relief in TMJ symptomatic patients. To minimize this relapse, presurgical functional appliance therapy has been proposed and has shown promising outcomes.
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a well-studied technique that has been shown to improve recovery time and reduce pain and swelling in patients undergoing surgery, including orthognathic surgery, and has no known negative effects. This study will use two groups with patients randomly assigned to either the study group, receiving LLLT, or one receiving a placebo treatment, after they have lower jaw surgery. Measurements will be taken at 24 hours, 1 week, 2 week, 3 week, 4 week, 5 week, and 6 week post-op exams to check pain, swelling and nerve function, and the two groups will be compared to see if the LLLT group has any difference
This study is aimed to develop and assess the validity of an algorithm for automated three-dimensional cephalometry.
Patients with class III dentofacial deformity who are in need of surgical correction are now able to see the potential changes to their faces before the actual operation. Dolphin 3d is one of the few software packages that is used for orthognathic planning and prediction of soft tissue changes. The direct effect of the prediction procedure over patient's and surgeon decisions makes it important to guarantee a high level of accuracy of operational results prediction. This study is designed to investigate the accuracy of Dolphin 3d software for the prediction of postoperative soft tissue changes following specific surgical procedure which is the combined maxillary advancement and mandibular setback, commonly used for correction of class III facial deformity cases. The study data will be collecting retrospectively. The difference between the pre-operative soft tissue prediction and the 6-month postoperative results will be analysed. The results of this study will help to determine whether this software package is accurate enough to be considered as a surgical assistance tool helping both surgeons and patients in treatment planning and decision-making procedure respectively.
Despite the shift from 2D towards 3D virtual treatment planning of orthognathic surgery, traditional plaster cast are still gold standard. The investigators aimed to compare the overall reliability and time efficiency of an digital workflow using 3D printed models, in comparison to the conventional plaster workflow. Twenty real-life cases were planned according to both workflows and timed by a single resident.
