Abstract:
Orthognathic surgery changes the jaw position and occlusion, and also affects the original structure and function of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). With the widespread development of orthognathic surgery, the impact of orthognathic surgery on the structure and function of the TMJ is increasingly valued, and the importance of the TMJ in orthognathic surgery is gradually recognized. Proper understanding the relationship between orthognathic surgery and TMJ not only helps to elucidate how the orthognathic surgery affects the condyle and causes temporomandibular disorders (TMD), but also has significant clinical significance in preventing and treating TMD in patients underwent orthognathic surgery.
