Résumé
In box genioplasty it is possible to advance, retrude, impact, and elongate, as well as to correct asymmetry. The aim of this study was to analyse the stability of box genioplasty as part of orthognathic correction. Twenty-five consecutive patients who had gone through the multidisciplinary pathway were selected. Menton and pogonion positions on radiographs taken just prior to surgery, and actual surgical movement on three-week and 12-month postoperative cephalograms, were compared. A one-sample Wilcoxon test was applied to assess whether the distributional change in advancement and vertical measurements was equal to zero. After treatment, anteroposterior changes in pogonion and vertical changes in menton were statistically insignificant (p>0.05). Our study demonstrated statistically significant stability of menton and pogonion positions after box genioplasty when surgical movement was only in the symphysis.
