안면윤곽술 Facial Bone Contouring

[INTRODUCTION] In Asia, a square face, which is characterized by prominent mandibular angles or masseter hypertrophy, is considered less aesthetic and masculine by Oriental populations, including Vietnamese. A combination of any two procedu…

In the field of maxillofacial surgery, facial bone fractures and osteotomies are common but the management of these conditions is associated with complications, including displacement after fracture or relapse after orthognathic surgery. Bo…

The Chin Wing osteotomy represents a choice of alternative genioplasty, well described in literature but until today slightly used, mainly due to the greater risk of damage to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) related compared to the classi…

Recent advancements in orthognathic surgery have introduced innovations in surgical techniques and in preoperative and postoperative care, with an increasing emphasis on patient-centered approaches. Our study described the current practice …

[BACKGROUND] The success of virtual surgical planning (VSP) in bimaxillary orthognathic surgery relies on the precise translation of digital plans into operative outcomes. Although computer-assisted design and 3D-printed surgical guides are…

[BACKGROUND] Postoperative pain management due to muscular tension and spasm following mandibular advancement surgery can be clinically challenging. Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) has demonstrated analgesic and muscle-relaxant properties i…

[BACKGROUND] In the Asian aesthetic facial profile, petite and youthful faces are highly valued. Various surgical techniques aimed at reducing the skeletal framework size-such as reduction malarplasty and angle resection-have been widely ap…

[OBJECTIVE] Gingival excess, also referred to as excessive gingival display (EGD), represents a multifactorial esthetic concern influenced by skeletal, dental, and soft tissue factors. Conventional orthodontic or orthognathic interventions,…

Aesthetic motivations have increasingly guided patient decisions in orthognathic surgery, particularly in private practice. This study presents descriptive observations from a single private practice, with a focus on patient motivations, su…

ObjectiveDevelop and apply novel data visualization techniques to analyze longitudinal cleft surgical care and to identify patterns in treatment timing and procedural burden across 2 cleft teams.DesignRetrospective cohort study of operative…

Given its rarity, there are few large-number studies regarding Tessier 7 clefts. A review and classification of 81 Tessier 7 patients who presented to our craniofacial center was performed. The most common Tessier 7 clefts were middle posit…

Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are widely used for non-surgical facial contouring, but vascular occlusion remains one of the most feared complications due to its potential to cause necrosis, functional impairment, and permanent deformities. C…

Various surgical options exist for correcting long, hyperprojected chins, including modified genioplasty techniques, pogonion burring, soft tissue rejuvenation, and custom implants. These can be performed as standalone procedures or in conj…

Facial asymmetry significantly affects aesthetic appearance, essential functions such as mastication and speech, and psychological well-being. While traditional surgical interventions effectively address significant facial asymmetry, they a…

[OBJECTIVE] This study aimed to compare the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) between propofol-based and remimazolam-based anesthesia in combination with dexamethasone and ondansetron. [METHODS] Subjects were 20 to 50 y…

Patient-specific implants (PSIs) have demonstrated improved outcomes and have reduced the complexity of surgery in orthognathic surgery. However, the design process for PSIs is time-consuming and complicated, leading to high costs that hind…

Minimally invasive orthognathic surgery (MIOS) offers numerous advantages, including reduced morbidity, faster recovery, and better aesthetic outcomes compared to conventional methods. However, the learning curve associated with MIOS has no…

[OBJECTIVE] This systematic review aimed to produce an overview of the development of AI in joint skeletal-soft tissue prediction after orthognathic surgery, and to assess its accuracy comprehensively. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] Following PRI…

: Orthognathic surgery aims to align the jaws with the facial skeleton and correct dental occlusion. This paper introduces the concept of planning the maxillomandibular complex (MMC) as a whole, utilizing a t-forming set of landmarks: the m…

[BACKGROUND] Orthognathic surgery is a well-established method for correcting skeletal dentofacial deformities. Despite its widespread application, large-scale data describing deformity prevalence and the distribution of surgical approaches…
