Three-dimensional evaluation of postoperative stability: a comparative study between surgery-first and surgery-late protocols

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader Three-dimensional evaluation of postoperative stability: a comparative study between surgery-first and surgery-late protocols via International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery via MedWorm.com The main objective of this study was to compare the stability of the surgery-first and surgery-late approaches according to the standardized centre protocols, by three-dimensional evaluation after 1 year of follow-up. A retrospective study was designed that included a test group (surgery-first protocol) and a control group (surgery-late protocol), with a follow-up period of at least 1 year (average 14 months; range 12 –24 months). Stability was evaluated using linear and angular measurements by superimposing cone beam computed tomography images obtained at specific points in time: preoperatively, 1 month after surgery, and at the end of the orthodontic treatment.
