Analysis of Soft Tissue Changes after Genioplasty in Skeletal Class III Dentofacial Deformity

چکیده
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to measure the anteroinferior changes and the degree of vertical changes to facilitate the prediction of treatment outcome in patients undergoing genioplasty only, genioplasty with bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO), genioplasty, or BSSRO and Lefort I osteotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serial cephalometry was performed on 25 patients at 1-year follow-up after genioplasty, to assess skeletal changes and relapse. Surgery was performed using conventional techniques. RESULTS The mean ratio was 0.9:1 of soft tissue to skeletal movement at pogonion, but the average difference between hard and soft tissue was large; thus, the prediction of anteroposterior soft tissue changes was quite inaccurate. CONCLUSION We observed a good correlation between the amount of hard versus soft tissue change with surgery in the horizontal direction, but a poor correlation in the vertical plane.

The aim of this study was to assess to what extent adult Herbst treatment is an alternative to orthognathic surgery by comparing the dentoskeletal treatment effects in 46 adult Class II Division 1 subjects treated with a combined orthodontic-orthognathic surgery approach (mandibular sagittal split osteotomy without genioplasty) and 23 adult Class II Division 1 subjects treated with the Herbst a...

The Class III skeletal deformity may be due to a horizontal excess of the mandible, an antero−posterior deficiency of the maxilla, or both. In patients with a severe Class III skeletal discrepancies, growth modification and orthodontic camouflage, not only can compromise the aesthetics but also can jeopardize the stability of the results. In such cases the combined surgical – orthodontic correc...

OBJECTIVE Accurate prediction of the surgical outcome is important in treating dentofacial deformities. Visualized treatment objectives usually involve manual surgical simulation based on tracing of cephalometric radiographs. Recent technical advancements have led to the use of computer assisted imaging systems in treatment planning for orthognathic surgical cases. The purpose of this study was...
