METHODS: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were used to find papers that matched our topic dating from 1 January 2012 up to November 2022. Inclusion criteria were (1) human studies, (2) open access studies, (3) studies concerning the correlation between orthognathic surgery and relapse. Exclusion criteria were: (1) in vitro or animal studies, (2) off-topic studies, (3) reviews, (4) other languages than English.
RESULTS: A total of 482 results were obtained resulting in 323 publications after duplicate removal (158). After screening and eligibility phases 247 records were excluded: 47 reviews, 5 in animals, 35 in vitro, 180 off-topic. The authors successfully retrieved the remaining 78 papers and evaluated their eligibility. A total of 14 studies from these were ultimately included in the review.
CONCLUSIONS: Using cephalometric examinations and digital study models, these studies reveal that the relapse after orthognathic surgery is an event that occurs in most of the cases. The limitation of our research is that most of the studies are retrospective and use small sample sizes. A future research goal should be to conduct long-term clinical trials with larger numbers of samples.
方法:PubMed,Scopus,和WebofScience数据库用于查找与我们的主题相匹配的论文,日期为2012年1月1日至2022年11月。纳入标准是(1)人体研究,(2)开放获取研究,(3)正颌手术与复发的相关性研究。排除标准为:(1)体外或动物研究,(2)离题研究,(3)审查,(4)英语以外的其他语言。
结果:获得总共482个结果,在重复去除后产生323个出版物(158)。在筛选和资格阶段之后,排除了247条记录:47条评论,5在动物中,35在体外,180离题作者成功地检索了其余的78篇论文,并评估了他们的资格。共有14项研究最终被纳入审查。
结论:使用头颅测量检查和数字研究模型,这些研究表明,正颌手术后复发是大多数病例发生的事件。我们研究的局限性在于大多数研究都是回顾性的,并且使用了小样本量。未来的研究目标应该是进行更多样本的长期临床试验。
