Changes in Temporomandibular Joints after Unilateral Mandibular Vertical Osteotomy
 
Document Language : English 
Abstract : Nine adult mongrel dogs were used to evaluate the radiographic and histologic changes of temporomandibular joints following unilateral vertical osteotomy of the ramus. Measurements of mandibular dimensions were taken utilizing eleven distances on the contact radiographas. Condylar new bone formation started with the second month postoperatively and increased on both condyles at the third month. Changes in 6 different measurements were significant at 0.05 level. Histological changes due to function adaptation were pronounced during the period of the experiment on both sides of temporomandibular joints. Increased thickness of the disc, new bone formation, fibrosis in the bilaminar zone and compression of the meniscus were the most pronounced changes in both condyles. All changes returned back to normal after 3 months on both sides. These changes could be attributed to function adaptation to the new positions of the 'osteotmatized condylar segment.
