Idiopathic scoliosis is a well-known orthopedic disease in childhood and the onset and progress are observed during adolescence. It is speculated that the progress of idiopathic scoliosis affects the maxillofacial growth and the function of the temporomandibular joint because the craniofacial skeletal is located on the top of the spinal column. Another reason may be that asymmetric craniofacial growth changes the head posture and/or spinal column. In this study, we examined the association of scoliosis with jaw deformity and temporomandibular joint disorders.<br>The subjects were 44 patients who underwent orthognathic surgery for treatment of a jaw deformity at Hiroshima University Hospital. We measured the Cobb angle, an indicator of scoliosis, and the curve of the spinal column in vertebrae thoracicae on the chest radiograph. Moreover, the lateral shift of points A and B, cant of the occlusal plane and ANB angle were measured on the postero-anterior (PA) plane and lateral cephalograms. Association between the curve of the spinal column and maxillofacial morphology was examined by correlation analysis. The degree of scoliosis was examined in association with the pathological status of temporomandibular joint.<br>The prevalence of subjects diagnosed with scoliosis was 22.7%. Among the scoliosis patients, 70% were female. In all subjects with a jaw deformity, a significantly positive correlation was not found between the following variables and the Cobb angle: ANB angle, lateral shift of points A and B, cant of the occlusal plane. Moreover, no significant association between the curve of spinal column in the vertebrae thoracicae and previous variables was revealed. In addition, there was no relationship between the degree of the scoliosis and progress of the temporomandibular joint disorder.<br>These findings suggested that the progress of scoliosis exerts no substantial influence on the growth of the maxillofacial skeleton and the progress of temporomandibular joint disorders.

The accuracy of positioning the osteotomized maxilla during orthognathic surgery was assessed in 26 patients, comparing the use of an external reference point placed on the forehead skin (SERP), and an external reference point consisting of a bone screw placed at the forehead bone (BERP). In all cases, the unoperated mandible was used to provide an anteroposterior and transverse maxillary position, through use of an intermediate splint. In 14 cases, the distance between the SERP and the maxillary central incisor was measured, to determine the maxillary vertical dimensions. In 12 cases, measurements between the BERP the and maxillary central incisor were made.<BR>All preoperative lateral cephalometric radiographs were traced by one investigator, and these tracings were superimposed on postoperative lateral chephalograms (3 to 6 days after surgery), respectively. The actual changes in the vertical and horizontal position of U1 were measured perpendicular and parallel to the Frankfort horizontal plane. The actual change of the palatal plane angle was also measured. These values of actual change were compared with the prediction tracings made by measurements obtained from model surgery, and the difference between planned and actual movements was calculated.<BR>The mean difference of U1 anteroposterior movement was 1.5±2.0mm in the SERP group, and 1.2±1.1 mm in the BERP group. The mean difference of U1 vertical movement was 1.8 ±2.8mm in the SERP group, and 0.5±0.3mm in the BERP group. And the mean difference of palatal plane angle rotation in the SERP group was 2.7±6.2°, and 1.6±1.8° in the BERP group. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between the SERP group and the BERP group in the U1 vertical difference (t-test, p<0.05).<BR>The results of this investigation revealed less accuracy in the actual three-dimensional maxillary movements of the SERP group, compared with the BERP group. And this study also showed that use of the BERP will allow accurate three-dimensional control of the maxillary position, especially in the vertical dimension. However, the maxillary repositioning technique using BERP still remains subject to operator error, and other numerous possible sources of error were identified, which may lead to an incorrect result.
