Abstract:
Temporomandibular Joints (TMJ) are essential for achieving long-term stability following orthognathic surgery. Mandibular position is closely related to TMJ function, and any error during surgery can lead to unpredictable outcomes. Another important consideration is the role of TMJ function and orthognathic treatment in young adult patients. In some cases, surgery should be postponed, while in others, early surgical intervention is crucial to address underlying issues effectively. During the conference, we will address these aspects, with a particular focus on young patients and the timing of orthognathic surgery.
