摘要：Background - Orthognathic surgery is a surgery designed to correct conditions of the jaw and lower face related to growth, airway issues including sleep apnea, TMJ disorders, malocclusion problems primarily arising from skeletal deformities, other orthodontic dental bite problems that cannot be easily treated with braces, as well as the broad range of facial imbalances, disharmonies, deformities, asymmetries and malproportions were correction can be considered to improve facial aesthetics and self esteem Materials and methods - All the cases reported for orthognathic surgery between June 2020 and February 2021 were considered in this study. The details of patients who underwent orthognathic surgery for oral rehabilitation and esthetics were retrieved from dental information archiving systems. The data obtained was recorded in excel and subjected to statistical analysis. Results - A total number of 70 patients had undergone orthognathic procedures during the study period. Orthognathic surgery is most commonly done among males than females and done in both arches. Functional reason is most commonly done for prosthesis and in the age group of 46-60 years of age. 10% of the study population had orthognathic surgery for functional reasons. The rest were all for esthetic reasons and in the age group of 15-30. Conclusion Within the limitations of study, it is concluded that orthognathic surgery can be successfully used for aiding in management of prosthetic rehabilitation, airway management and TMJ deformities. This also confers that OGS is not a procedure limited to the young population alone and can be used for older age groups when needed with positive outcome.
