Lima FGGP, Oliveira MMM, Rios LGC, da Silva MCP, Zanetta-Barbosa D. TMJ disc repositioning associated with orthognathic surgery for the treatment of severe retrognathism. Int J Case Rep Images 2022;13(2):108– 112.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Orthognathic surgery associated with temporomandibular disc reposition is a modality of surgical treatment for dentofacial deformities associated with temporomandibular disorders that has been shown to be a stable and predictable alternative for such situations. However, there is still no consensus in the literature regarding the treatment modality in these cases. Several studies have been developed looking for more stable and predictable results in favor of the best patient treatment.
Case Report: Patient with a class II facial pattern and temporomandibular dysfunction, submitted to bilateral repositioning of the articular disc and orthognathic surgery with counterclockwise rotation of the maxillomandibular complex, with improvement of the symptoms and of the functionality of the stomatognathic system, and satisfaction with facial aesthetics.
Conclusion: Although there are controversies about the surgical repositioning of chronic articular disc displacements in retrognathism, this treatment modality has demonstrated long-term stability and reduction or resolution of joint symptoms.
Keywords: Obstructive sleep apnea, Orthognathic surgery, Retrognathia, Temporomandibular joint disorders
