| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Progressive condylar resorption (PCR) following orthognathic surgery is characterized by reduction of condylar volume and decrease of ramus height. However, etiology of PCR remains unclear.
In our experimental study with rat mandibular distraction model, morphological findings after distraction indicated deformation of the condyle, especially in the rats receiving Tacrolimus. The findings suggest that overloading to the condyle and decrease of bone strength are key factors for PCR.
In our clinical study using patients with jaw deformities, bone formation and resorption markers tended to be higher in patients with a protrusive mandible. On the other hand, patients with mandibular retrusion had a higher tendency to have small and dense condylar processes. The results suggest that growth depression or a degenerative change in the mandibular condyle is involved in the pathogenesis of mandibular retrusion, although risk factors for progressive condylar resorption were not determined.
