We observed 117 orthognathic surgery cases with dentofacial deformity for 8 years from Jan. 1986 to Dec. 1993. The ratio of male female was 1 : 1.4 and the mean age was 23.0 years ranged from 16 to 35 years. The most dominant group was related to mandibular prognathism (75.0%). Surgery method were divided into 88 cases of mandible surgery, 6 cases of maxilla surgery and 23 cases of two jaw surgery. Sagittal split osteotomy were performed on 84 cases (71.8%). Rigid fixation was increased after 1989 and total percent of rigid fixation was 66%. We used autotransfusion method from 1992 to all orthognathic surgery patient. Lower lip numbness caused by Inferior alveolar nerve injury is the most common problem after operation, and it was 63 cases (53.8%) of total operation cases. In our clinic, we performed 5 cases of re-operation because of segment malalignment, condylar sag, and fixation instability.

Clinical therapy that combines full-mouth rehabilitation with immediate implantation and orthognathic surgery poses a challenge to prosthodontists. This clinical report describes a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of a patient presenting with skeletal discrepancy and rampant caries. The results thus achieved indicate that full-mouth rehabilitation by fixed immediate and early loading implantation accompanied by orthognathic surgery can be a predictable and effective treatment procedure.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the postsurgical mandibular stability for both one- and two jaw surgery. 18 for one-jaw surgerys and 24 for two-jaw surgerys among skeletal class III malocclusion patients who experienced orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery at Pusan National University Hospital were selected. Lateral cephalograms taken at the first visit, after presurgical orthodontic treatment, immediately after surgery and follow-up over 6 months, were traced. Based ANOVA, multiple linear regression analysis was completed for one-jaw surgery with postsurgical stability as the criterion and the magnitude of mandibular setback, the change of mandibular incisor height during surgery, the changes of mandibular plane angle and mandibular incisor angle during presurgical orthodontic treatment as affecting factors. Same analysis was completed for two-jaw surgery with postsurgical stability as the criterion and the magnitude of mandibular setback as affecting factor. The results were as follows : 1. In the one-jaw surgery cases, the magnitude of mandibular setback, the change of mandibular incisor height during surgery, the changes of mandibular plane angle and mandibular incisor angle during presurgical orthodontic treatment explained the variability in postsurgical stability with a significant $R^2$ value of 0.84. 2. In the two-jaw surgery cases, the magnitude of mandibular setback explained the variability in postsurgical stability with a significant $R^2$ value of 0,28.

Patients with skeletal class III can be succesfully treated by either orthognathic surgery or orthodontic treatment owing to unavoidable circumstances. Systers were treated , elder syster by orthognathic surgery and younger one by compromised treatment. For the ideal treatment goal, orthognathic surgery will be inevitable in skeletal problem case, but by the patient's private situations orthodontist cannot help doing compromised treatment. It could be another option if correct biomechanical approach is used.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in the mandibular dental arch from presurgical orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery, and to evaluate the relationships between the pretreatment records and changes of mandibular dental arch in skeletal Class III malocclusion individuals. Methods: Lateral cephalometric radiographs and mandibular study models of 31 adults with skeletal class III malocclusion were taken and measured. All measurements were evaluated statistically by ANOVA, Scheffe's Post Hoc, and paired t-test, and correlation coefficients were evaluated. Results: No significant difference in Mn-LMMC, Mn-LIE, Mn-MnOcc was detected between pretreatment and presurgical groups. Statistically significant but low correlations were demonstrated between the initial arch length discrepancy (ALD) and change in ICW, IPW1 (r = 0.492, 0.615) and change in arch length (r = 0.641). No association was seen between the initial depth of curve of Spee and change in mandibular incisor angle and arch width or arch length. Regression analysis showed that the amount of change for arch length and IPW1 could be explained by 64.0% and 75.8% of the pretreatment variables respectively. Conclusions: This study suggests that orthognathic surgery results can be predictable by measuring the pretreatment records.

This study was designed to evaluate the Personality characteristics of orthognathic surgery patients preoperatively and postoperatively through the MMPI. Comparison was made between the personality characteritics of preoperative and postoperative groups. Motivation for undergoing orthognathic surgery and postoperative satisfaction were examined through the questionnaire. Subjects used in this study consisted of 50 patients under presurgical orthodontic treatment and 22 patients who had received orthognathic surgery. From this study, the results were followings. 1. In preoperative patients group, all T-scores were within the normal range except for K-scale. The T-score of K-scale is 57.7, this showed that these patients underwent some or less stress. 2. In postoperative patients group, all T-scores were within the normal range. 3. Only in K-scale, there was statistically significant increase after surgery (p<0.05). 4. In male patients group, all T-scores were within the normal range except for that of preoperative K-scale. Postoperatively, there were statistically significant increase in K and Hs scales(p<0.05) 5. In female patients group, all T-scores were within the normal range. 6. Motivation for undergoing orthognathic surgery could be divided into 4 categories. esthetic goal($28.2\%$), functional goal($32.1\%$), TMJ problem($9.0\%$), and psychosocial reason($30.7\%$). 7. The degree of postoperative satisfaction was quite high($85.7\%$). $14.3\%$ of all patients were very satisfied, $71.4\%$ were satisfied, $9.5\%$ were neither satisfied or dissatisfied, and $4.8\%$ were very dissatisfied.
