title: [The effect of prognathism surgery on the temporomandibular joint. (A clinical and radiological evaluation of temporomandibular joint changes after various methods of surgery for prognathism)].
abstract: On the basis of clinical and roentgenologic examinations of progenia patients which were planned according to our occlusal concept and monitored postoperatively, we established that the condylar displacement in the roentgenogram offers an exact parameter for the extent of operative displacement of the condyles. Nevertheless, a direct conclusion concerning the clinical symptoms or freedom of complaints cannot be established on the basis of this roentgenographic analysis. The roentgenogram also showed considerable condylar alterations in patients with temporomandibular joint symptoms; greater displacement of the condyles was frequently demonstrable with temporomandibular joint complaints.
