This retrospective cohort study aimed to assess, three-dimensionally, mandible and maxilla changes following maxillomandibular advancement (MMA), with and without repositioning of TMJ articular discs. The sample comprised cone-beam computed tomography data from 32 subjects: group 1 (n = 12) without...
