Three-dimensional assessment of condylar head position in CBCT scans before and after orthognathic surgery
Postoperative condylar head position and TMJ space morphology are influenced by intraoperative handling, with surgeon handedness emerging as a potential contributor. Incorporating shape analysis methods such as Procrustes algorithms into future digital workflows may improve condylar positioning strategies and enhance surgical outcomes in BSSO.
