Evaluation of condylar displacement using computer tomography after the surgical correction of mandibular prognathism

ABSTRACT

0.05). 3. There was some correlation between condylar change(T2C-T1C) and TMJ dysfunction. It seemed that postoperative condylar change had influenced postoperative TMJ dysfunction, through there was no statistical significance (p>0.05). As we have observed the change of condylar axis in the group that complained of TMJ dysfunction in cases of large amount of mandibular setback. So we consider that the more trying to conserve condylar position will decrease occurrence rate of post operational TMJ dysfunction.
