The purpose of this study was to evaluate cervical lordosis and head posture changes using lateral cephalographs after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery for mandibular prognatism by null hypothesis. Twenty-five patients with skeletal class III dentofacial deformities (10 men, 15 women; mean age, 29.28 ± 8.22 years; range 18-48 years) were included in this prospective clinical study. Lateral cephalographs were taken in natural head position (NHP) 2 weeks before and 6 months after orthognathic surgery. The reproducibility of the radiographer’s technique of taking radiographs in NHP was investigated using a photographic method and found to be acceptable. All measurements for cervical lordosis (CV1/CV2; CV3/CV7; CV1/CV7), head posture (NSL/OPT; NSL/VER) and other cephalometric values (NSL/Go-Gn; NSL/Ocl; Overjet) were repeated three times by the same investigator at 2- week intervals and the average values of the three measurements were calculated to use in statistical analysis. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) ranged between 0.996 to 1.000, demonstrating a high reliability of the measures. Statistically significant differences were found for CV3/CV7 (P=0.006) and CV1/CV7 (P=0.005) and no significant differences were identified in head posture for both cranio-cervical and cranio-vertical angles. The null hypothesis was rejected. Orthognathic surgery resulted in significant cervical lordosis extension, and a tendency for head extension could also be observed.
