Abstract: PURPOSE: To establish a three-dimensional method to evaluate whether there is a difference in stability between bimaxillary simultaneous genioplasty and simple genioplasty. METHODS: This study was a retrospective study. Sixty patients who underwent genioplasty were selected. They were divided into bimaxillary simultaneous genioplasty group (n=30) and simple genioplasty group (n=30). The spiral CT data of patients at 2 months before operation (T0), 7 days after operation (T1) and 12 months after operation (T2) were collected, reconstructed and separated, and the three-dimensional model of maxilla and mandible was obtained. A three-dimensional analysis method of stability was established by 3D-matching. Recurrences in three-dimensional space 12 months after surgery were analyzed in two groups of patients. Statistical analysis of the data was performed with SPSS 26.0 software package. RESULTS: In simple genioplasty, the maximum amount of the chin recurrence was sagittal backward recurrence (0.54±0.38) mm, and the sagittal recurrence rate was 12.27%. In bimaxillary simultaneous genioplasty, the maximum amount of the chin recurrence was sagittal backward recurrence (0.60±0.31) mm, and the sagittal recurrence rate was 12.96%. Rotation occurred in both groups 12 months after operation, which was 1.98±2.70° in the simple genioplasty group and 1.01±1.61° in the bimaxillary simultaneous genioplasty group(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the sagittal movement of the chin between the two groups, and in the sagittal recurrence(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The three-dimensional method established in this study can be used to evaluate the stability after genioplasty. The recurrence after genioplasty mainly occurred in the sagittal direction. The rotation trend of chin after genioplasty is worthy of attention. There was no increased risk for bimaxillary simultaneous genioplasty.
