Acute treatment with the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist MK-801: effect of concurrent administration of haloperidol or scopolamine on preproenkephalin mRNA levels of the striatum and nucleus accumbens of the rat brain

17 patients underwent an orthognathic operation. The condyle positioning plate was used in each sagittal split ramus osteotomy of mandible in order to maintain the condyle position. The results of postoperative X-ray examination showed that no obvious displacement of condyle in posterioranterior, and vertical dimension was detected in all joints and obvious horizontal condyle displacement were only found in two joints. Based on this work the author believe that condyle positioning plate is useful to position condyle during operation.
