Abstract

This study examined skeletal stability and the remodelling process following advanced pedicled genioplasty. Twenty patients who had advancement genioplasty concomitant with other adjunctive orthognathic surgery were evaluated. A finite element analysis method was used to assess these changes. The stability of the advanced segment was excellent after 6 months. At 6 months bone remodelling was observed in the form of bone apposition at B point and Pogonion with bone resorption at the superior aspect of the advanced segment. The genial segment rotated about 12 degrees antero-superiorly which was thought to be due to the action of the mentalis muscle. Finite element analysis is a sensitive tool for assessing changes after genioplasty and was able to separate them from the effects of other adjunctive orthognathic surgery.
