The primary functional aim of orthognathic surgery is to achieve correct condyle position within the mandibular fossa and in relation to the articular discs. During orthognathic surgery for temporomandibular disorders, condylar position was functionally assessed by means of electromyography-kinesiography and surgical reference baseplates before and after the operation. The initial results were partially encouraging: muscular dysfunction resolved, whereas articular dysfunction persisted in some cases.

Abstract
The primary functional aim of orthognathic surgery is to achieve correct condyle position within the mandibular fossa and in relation to the articular discs. During orthognathic surgery for temporomandibular disorders, condylar position was functionally assessed by means of electromyography-kinesiography and surgical reference baseplates before and after the operation. The initial results were partially encouraging: muscular dysfunction resolved, whereas articular dysfunction persisted in some cases.File in questo prodotto:
