Postsurgical Stability of Temporomandibular Joint of Skeletal Class III Patients Treated with 2-Jaw Orthognathic Surgery via Computer-Aided Three-Dimensional Simulation and Navigation in Orthognathic Surgery (CASNOS)

Figure 4

(a) The distribution of color zones indicates the means of mandibular position difference between T1 and actual T2 of the subjects. The mandibular mean differences of the patients were distributed in the green and blue zones (green: the ; yellow: the ). The landmarks of the most medial (RM and LM) and lateral point (RL and LL) were identified. (b) The distribution of color zones indicates the means of mandibular discrepancies on the right and left condylar heads between T1 and T2 of individual subjects. The mean discrepancies of the patients were distributed in the green and blue zones. The landmarks (RM, LM, RL, and LL) were identified from the top and lateral views. All the 3D displacements of the most lateral and medial condylar points are as follows: RL-RL: ; LL-LL: ; RM-RM: ; and LM-LM: ((b) the top view and (c) the lateral view; details in Table 4). (c) Lateral view of the condyle heads and the identified landmarks of RL and LL.
