Anatomical Characteristics of the Masseter Muscle in Mandibular Prognathism

Overview on the Anatomical and Clinical Aspects of Mandibular Prognathism

The form and size of the human mandible is subject to considerable variation from the accepted normal. One of the more interesting and rewarding aspects of oral surgery is the operative correction of the Mandibular abnormalities, the category of malformation into which the mandibular deformity falls. In this study we reviewed more than 30 articles to clarify the mandibular prognathism with its ...

Candidate Gene Analyses of Mandibular Prognathism

Causation of a disease and a symptom generally is classified as genetic inheritance and environmental factors. A disease caused by a single gene disorder is defined as a disease that is attributed to a monogenic factor. A single gene disorder has been reported in more than 3,000 hereditary diseases. On the other hand, a polygenic or multifactorial disease is attributed to some susceptibility ge...

Complications of Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy in Patients with Mandibular Prognathism

Introduction: Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) of mandible is vastly used in treatment of mandibular deficiencies and discrepancies. Since this method could affect esthetic as well as function, evaluating these effects from various aspects is crucial. This study assessed the effects of this technique on the function of masseter muscle, jaw movements, and sensory changes along with fail...
