Two-dimensional lateral and posteroanterior cephalograms and three-dimensional facial scanning taken 1 week before (T1) and 6 months after TJS (T2) were combined using the Morpheus 3D program. Six linear and angular variables were measured and statistically analyzed. </p><p> <strong>Results:</strong> When comparing the values of the linear and angular variables at the T1 and T2 stages there was significant canting correction of AMTOP (1.7 mm vs −0.3 mm 3.0° vs 0.1°), PMTOP (3.5 mm vs 0.1 mm, 3.3° vs −0.1°), and LC (3.0 mm vs 0.7 mm, 4.7° vs 2.1°) (all P < .05). Although the angular change ratios (ΔLC/ΔAMTOP and ΔLC/ΔPMTOP) did not exhibit a significant difference (0.99 vs 0.83), the linear change ratio of ΔLC/ΔAMTOP was significantly higher than that of ΔLC/ΔPMTOP (1.67 vs 0.74, P < .05). The angular change of ΔLC showed a significant correlation with ΔAMTOP (r2 = 0.64 P < .05). However, the linear change of ΔLC was significantly correlated with both the angular and linear changes of ΔAMTOP (r2  =  0.62 and 0.66 both P < .05). Therefore, the amount of LC change was more related to the canting correction of AMTOP than to that of PMTOP. </p><p> <strong>Conclusion:</strong> In TJS cases with CIII, FA, and LC, the amount of canting correction of the AMTOP should be considered to predict the actual LC change.</p><hr><p></p><p> <strong>Source: </strong>Angle Orthodontists </p><p><a href="http://www.angle.org/doi/abs/10.2319/011512-36.1" target="_blank"><font color="#0033ff"> Full Text</font></a></p> Class III malocclusion, Facial asymmetry, Two-jaw surgery, Lip canting, Maxillary transverse occlusal plane canting 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-795&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Seung-Jae Kim 10031947532846003488 10031947532846003488 No School of Dentistry, Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea Jin-Young Choi 10031947532846003489 10031947532846003489 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Dentistry, Dental Research Institute, Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea Seung-Hak Baek drwhite@unitel.co.kr 10031947532846003490 10031947532846003490 Yes Department of Orthodontics, School of Dentistry, Dental Research Institute, Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea
