OBJECTIVES: Among the existing techniques for the correction of mandibular posterior vertical insufficiency (PVI), the intra-oral ramus vertical lengthening osteotomy (IORVLO) can be proposed as it allows simultaneous correction of mandibular height and retrusion. This study assessed the 3D morpho-anatomical changes of the ramus-condyle unit and occlusal stability after IORVLO.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective analysis compared immediate and 1-year post-operative 3D CBCT reconstructions. The analysis focused on the condylar height (primary endpoint) and on the changes in condylar (condylar diameter, condylar axis angle) and mandibular (ramus height, Frankfort-mandibular plane angle, gonion position, intergonial distance, angular remodeling) parameters. Additionally, this analysis investigated the maxillary markers and occlusal stability.
RESULTS: On the 38 condyles studied in 21 included patients (mean age 23.7 ± 3.9 years), a condylar height (CH) loss of 0.66 mm (p < 0,03) was observed, with no correlation with the degree of ramus lengthening (mean 13.3 ± 0.76 mm). Only one patient presented an occlusal relapse of Class II, but a 3.4 mm (28%) condylar diameter loss and a 33% condylar volume reduction with loss of 1 mm and 3.4 mm in CH and condyle diameter, respectively. A mean 3.56 mm (p < 0.001) decrease in ramus height was noted, mainly due to bone resorption in the mandibular angles.
CONCLUSION: This study confirms the overall stability obtained with IORVLO for the correction of PVI.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study aims to precise indication of IORVLO, and to validate the clinical and anatomical stability of results.
