Does the orthognathic surgery improve myofacial pain in individuals with skeletal class III? one year follow-up

Objective: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of orthognathic surgery on temporomandibular disorder (TMD) in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion. Study design: Forty-seven patients undergoing surgery were evaluated using Axis I of the Research Diagnostic Criteria/TMD index by a trained examiner, consecutively, at three different periods: 1 week before operation (T0), 6 months after operation (T1), and 1 year after operation (T2). Bivariate analyses were performed to compare the evaluation periods (p<0.05).
