Abstract:
OR = 1mm). Serial lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken within 2 weeks preoperatively, within 1 week postoperatively and at a follow up period that ranged from 7 to 24 months postoperatively. All cephalometric radiographs were traced and digitized using the Quick ceph image Pro for analysis. And then, horizontal and vertical changes of reference points(B point, Pogonion, L1) were assessed by the linear measurements in millimeters on both axes. The results were as follows: 1. Mean horizontal relapses were 0.67+/-0.93mm (11%) at B point (P<0.05) and 0.81+/-1.01mm (13.2 %) at Pogonion (P< .01). 2. Mean vertical relapses were 0.63+/-1.62mm (33.3%) at B point and 0.53+/-1.95mm (31.4%) at Pogonion (P>0.05). 3. The mean angular change of occlusal plane to SN was 0.24+/-1.19 (P>0.05) and that of mandibular plane to SN was 1.03+/-1.85 (P<0.05). 4. There was correlation between the extent of preoperative overbite and the postsurgical relapse at B point and Pogonion. 5. There was no correlation between the amount of surgically produced horizontal movement and the postoperative horizontal relapse at B point.]]>
