Does orthognathic surgery improve myofacial pain in individuals with skeletal class III? One-year follow-up

Quality of Life and Temporomandibular Disorders in Patients With Skeletal Class III Malocclusion With Cleft Lip and Palate

“…Patients with skeletal Class III deformities have been shown to be more prone to have TMDs, such as myofascial pain, which can reduce the extent of mouth opening because of pain (De Carli et al, 2016;Sebastiani et al, 2016Sebastiani et al, , 2018. To date, no direct comparison has been made between patients who require orthognathic surgery with and without CLP in terms of TMDs (Marcusson et al, 2001a(Marcusson et al, , 2001bBarros et al, 2019).…”

“…An instrument commonly used for diagnosing TMDs is the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMDs (RDC/TMD) (Schiffman et al, 2014), which has excellent accuracy for articular disorder screening and the identification of myofascial pain (Schiffman et al, 2010). Previous studies have observed a high prevalence of TMDs in patients without CLP (Mladenovic et al, 2014;Sebastiani et al, 2016Sebastiani et al, , 2018. Myofascial pain is one of the most prevalent TMDs (De Carli et al, 2016;Sebastiani et al, 2016Sebastiani et al, , 2018.…”

Furthermore, dentofacial deformities and chronic pain related to TMDs are associated conditions (Silva et al, 2018).…”

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Orthognathic Surgery on the Pre-existing Temporomandibular Disorders in Patients with Malocclusion: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

“…However, this has been exceptionally conceivable: before surgical operations, the patients have been disappointed with their appearances and had lower self-esteem, which induced TMD. Therefore, enhancement in the cosmetic appearances following the surgical operation and the consequent impact on the patients, in general confidence and psychological images, could diminish depression and stress that made a difference in the control of a number of the subjective aspects of TMD [12,33].…”

“…Others demonstrated a declining [8] or lack of changes in the TMDs following the orthognathic surgery [7], negative or positive impact on TMDs symptoms [10], assessment of TMD pervasiveness for patients with dentofacial deformity who underwent the orthognathic surgery in comparison to the controls, and identification of the issue whether orthognathic surgery included negative or positive impacts on TMD symptoms via making a comparison between the TMD patients who underwent the orthognathic surgery and those who did not [2,11,12]. Therefore, the present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at evaluating the effective orthognathic surgery on the pre-existing TMD in malocclusion patients.…”
