Complications associated with orthognathic surgery

Abstract: While most patients undergo orthognathic surgery for aesthetic purposes, aesthetic improvements are most often followed by postoperative functional complications. Therefore, patients must carefully decide whether their purpose of undergoing orthognathic surgery lies on the aesthetic side or the functional side. There is a wide variety of complications associated with orthognathic surgery. There should be a clear distinction between malpractice and complications.

“…However, the extensive bone and muscle manipulation and various movements during surgery may result in postoperative pain, especially in the TMJ. Positional changes of the mandible, maxilla, or both jaws during orthognathic surgery can affect the TMJ, masticatory musculature, and surrounding soft tissue [ 5 , 6 ]. The position of the condyles in relation to the temporal bone can also be altered during surgery.…”

“…Some define it as the state in which the anterior teeth of the mandible are not covered by the anterior teeth of the maxilla in a vertical relationship [12]. Others define it as the state in which the cross-section of the occlusal surface is separate, and the occlusal surfaces of the maxilla and mandible do not overlap [13].…”
