1.	Congenital Abnormalities (Deformity) 01/01/2010 - "Although orthognathic surgery should not be advocated solely for treating TMD, patients having orthognathic treatment for correction of their dentofacial deformities and who are also suffering from TMD appear more likely to see improvement in their signs and symptoms than deterioration." 11/01/2009 - "Although orthognathic surgery should not be advocated solely for treating TMD, patients having orthognathic treatment for correction of their dentofacial deformities and who are also suffering from TMD appear more likely to see improvement in their signs and symptoms than deterioration." 10/01/2015 - "For all indices, the average satisfaction was up to score 7. According to the results, it can be concluded that orthognathic surgery has been an effective treatment for dentofacial deformities, aesthetics and functional problems, what was verified by pre and postoperative questionnaire application." 05/01/2012 - "Mean postoperative absolute overjet was 1.3 mm. In subjects with dentofacial deformities, computer-aided orthognathic surgery was effective in reducing incisal overjet and establishing class I occlusion." 11/01/2002 - "The results of this study suggested that functional status of temporomandibular joint can be improved with orthognathic surgery, but no association could be clearly shown between TMD symptoms and the type of dentofacial deformity."
2.	Malocclusion (Crossbite) 05/01/1995 - "Clearly, there are postpubertal patients with Class II malocclusions for whom orthognathic surgery combined with orthodontics is the "best" option, but epidemiologic information suggests they are a relatively small percentage of the potential patient pool. " 03/01/2010 - "The soft tissue morphology of patients with dento-skeletal Class III malocclusion shows a significant improvement after orthognathic surgery." 12/01/2011 - "For the orthognathic surgery group, all cases demonstrated great improvement in malocclusion." 03/01/2010 - "To test the hypothesis that there is no difference in the morphology of the lips and to determine the degree of improvement in the smile after orthognathic surgery for Class III malocclusion. " 10/01/2015 - "The study compared the outcomes of orthognathic surgery in patients with cleft and non-cleft Class III malocclusion, focusing on lip relationship. "
3.	Edema 06/01/2015 - "A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial Comparing the Efficacy of Anti-edema Drugs for Edema Control in Orthognathic Surgery Using Digitizer 3-D to Measure Facial Swelling." 07/01/2013 - "A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial comparing the efficacy of systemic enzyme therapy for edema control in orthognathic surgery using ultrasound scan to measure facial swelling." 07/01/2013 - "The results of this study suggest that systemic enzyme therapy significantly decreases postoperative edema in orthognathic surgery, precluding long-term corticosteroid use." 09/01/2010 - "This study evaluated the effect of corticosteroid (CS) administration on edema, analgesia, and neuroregeneration in conjunction with surgical dental extraction, orthognathic surgery, and the risk of developing side effects. " 07/01/2013 - "To evaluate the effectiveness of systemic enzyme therapy for the control of edema in patients who undergo bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. "
4.	Facial Asymmetry (Hemifacial Microsomia) 11/01/2015 - "The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of combined orthognathic surgeries, together with guiding templates and splints fabricated by rapid prototyping technique, for the correction of facial asymmetry. " 02/01/2004 - "The presented case report, treated successfully with molar autotransplantation and orthognathic surgery, had a number of missing teeth and facial asymmetry." 04/01/2012 - "The purpose of this study was to evaluate the final outcome of team care for patients with hemifacial microsomia after a protocol of growth management, orthodontic treatment, orthognathic surgery, and soft-tissue augmentation. " 03/01/2010 - "The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes of simultaneous correction of the hard- and soft-tissue facial asymmetry with face lift procedure using a resorbable fixation device (Endotine Ribbon; Coapt Systems, Palo Alto, CA) during bimaxillary orthognathic surgery in cases with severe facial asymmetry. " 10/01/2009 - "This study was conducted to identify the characteristics of facial asymmetry before surgery and to evaluate the facial skeletal changes and stability after 2-jaw orthognathic surgery. "
5.	Open Bite (Openbite) 09/01/2014 - "The gold standard treatment of skeletal anterior open bite cases is the combined approach of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances and orthognathic surgery. " 12/01/2006 - "For the orthognathic surgery group, a clear improvement in the dental and skeletal relationship was observed: the skeletal discrepancies in the A-P plane were completely corrected (ANB, Wits) and the inclination of the incisors according to biomechanical and functional aspects was optimized (beta', mu).The alteration in both the Index and ML-NL angle in this group indicated an increase of the open bite components." 07/01/2014 - "The goal of this study is to evaluate relapse after orthognathic surgery of skeletal class III with anterior open bite depending on the posterior impaction and mandibular counterclockwise rotation. " 11/01/2007 - "In this study, we compared treatment outcomes in patients with severe anterior open bite treated with molar intrusion by using skeletal anchorage and with orthognathic surgery. " 09/01/2014 - "With the introduction of TAD as an effective treatment modality, orthognathic surgery may be avoidable in selected anterior open bite cases. "
