title: [Relations between orthognathic surgery and temporomandibular disorders: a systematic review].
abstract: A painful and dysfunctional temporomandibular joint can be associated with a musculoskeletal anomaly. The multifactorial character of the etiology is now recognized. Among the etiologies, the role of orthognathic surgery is still debated. The analysis of the literature from 2000 to 2011 reveals for most authors a decrease in the frequency and intensity of signs and symptoms after surgery, especially pain and clicking. Risk factors may influence post-surgical results. Studies on patient risk factors such as age, sex, type of dysmorphia are inconclusive. Surgical techniques and the procedure used may have an influence on the development of post-surgical clinical signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders.
