| Research Abstract |
The purpose of the present study was to investigate any change in deglutitive tongue movement following the correction of mandibular protrusion by surgical orthodontic treatment. The subjects were 7 patients with mandibular protrusion. Swallowing events within 1 month before orthognathic surgery and within 4 months after orthognathic surgery were recorded by cineradiography. We established 7 stages of deglutition, and analyzed the deglutitive tongue movement and the time between the respective stages. The data obtained before and after orthognathic surgery and those of controls were compared. The contract between the tongue and the palate and the position of the tongue tip during deglutition changed after orthognathic surgery and became similar to those of the controls. On the other hand, the movement of the front and mickile parts of dorsal tongue and the time of the nasopharyngeal closure during deglutition did not change after orthognathic surgery and remained different from those of the controls. Our findings suggest that the contact of tongue and palate and tongue tip position during deglutition adapted to the corrected oral and maxillofacial morphology but that the movement of the front and middle parts of dorsal tongue and the time of the nasopharyngeal closure during deglutition may have been affected by pharyngeal constrictors rather than by the oral told maxillofacial morphology.
