Abstract

THE AIM THE STUDY: This study aims to assess the postoperative condylar displacement after orthognathic surgery using three-dimensional analysis of computed tomography. MATERIAL AND METHODS: =16) deformities. All patients underwent a bimaxillary surgery. The three-dimensional CT images were evaluated to assess condylar displacement. RESULTS: 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). CONCLUSION: The present study found the condyle displacement that can be mistaken as posterior displacement of condyle in analysis of sagittal sections of CT scans.
