Abstract

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to compare the time-dependent changes in occlusal contact area (OCA) and the bite force (BF) between deviated side and non-deviated side in mandibular prognathic patients with mandibular asymmetry before and after orthognathic surgery, and to investigate the factors associated with the changes in OCA and BF on each side. Methods: The sample consisted of 66 patients (32 men and 34 women; range 15-36 years) with facial asymmetry who underwent 2-jaw orthognathic surgery. OCA and BF were taken before presurgical orthodontic treatment, within 1 month before surgery, and at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after surgery. OCA and BF were measured using the Dental Prescale System. Results: The OCA and BF decreased gradually before surgery and then increased after surgery on both sides. The OCA and BF were significantly larger on the deviated side than on the non-deviated side before surgery, and there was no difference after surgery. According to the linear mixed-effect model, only the changes in the mandibular plane angle showed a significant effect on the OCA and BF (p<0.05). Conclusions: There was a difference in the amount of the OCA and BF between the deviated and non-deviated sides before surgery. The change in mandibular plane angle affects the change, especially on the non-deviated side, during the observation period.
