Long-term three-dimensional condylar remodeling during presurgical orthodontics and after orthognathic surgery of mandibular retrognathia with high mandibular plane angle

ConclusionSignificant condylar resorption following orthognathic surgery of the retrognathic mandible with a high mandibular plane angle might occur regardless of the presurgical status of the condyle.Clinical relevanceThe study provided an  evidence to be discussed with the patients and considered throughout the treatment of mandibular retrognathia with high mandibular plane angle.
