While in endonasal rhinoplasty transection and resection of nasal structures is primarily used for correction of nasal deformities, open rhinoplasty is performed using stures and repositioning of nasal structures in the repair of severe nasal deformities. We reviewd our experiences in the repair of cleft nasal deformities from 1991 to 1999 year in our institute, and compared the results of open rhinoplasty with endonasal rhinoplasty. In overall 164 cases of rhinoplasty in cleft nasal repair, open rhinoplasty was done in 13 cases. Male patients were 10, female 3(age between 6 to 34 years old). In this article, our experience, together with review of literatures of open rhinoplasty in the cleft nasal deformities are reported.

The construction of house in Korea firstly has been made up quantitative supply and margin of confined land until the latest. But, residents interest of living environment, demand of high-quality has varied with the latest elevation of life quality Specially, the interest for environment-friendly architecture is increased by the recent well-being trend in 2002, So, construction company and construction materials manufacturing industry are trying to offer more healthy and agreeable indoor aerial environment. Related circles do their best to commercialize and develop environment-friendly finish materials which influence indoor aerial environment. Therefore, in this study, that developing raw material and productive system that can minimize hazardous article quality discharge with formaldehyde in development of correction of deformities board such as plywood that is used mainly by a environment-friendly materials indoor finish, and examines application possibility of construction correction of deformities board through properties of matter examination by purpose, do.

Orthognathic surgery, ie, the surgical correction of congenital and acquaired anormalities of the jaws, is currently a field of vigorous activity among oral surgeons. Surgical correction of maxillofacial deformities benefits the patient both psychologically and functionally. Facial mutilation may precipitate adverse psychologic effects. Function is frequently impaired by malrelation of the jaws. In addition, speech, specifically articulation, is often handicapped in patient with severe jaw deformities. Therefore, in dealing with these patient, above mentioned problem should be considered deliberately. In this regard, the authors have treated 2 cases of mandible defect caused by gunshot and explosives with iliac bone graft. In both cases, the patient had Tantalum plate on defect area. But it became lose and gave functional disturbances. So, the authors have removed Tantalum plate and performed bone transplantation with autogenous soild iliac bone graft on that area with good results.

Moderate to severe dentofacial deformities usually require combined orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery to obtain the most stable result with optimal function and facial esthetics. Accordingly, the orthodontist and oral maxillofacial surgeon must be able to exactly diagnose existing deformities, establish an appropriate treatment plan, and execute the recommended treatment. Especially, to obtain optimal result of the maxillary surgery, model surgery is essential. But, the preoperatively planned position of the maxillary dental arch often cannot be sufficiently achieved during actual surgery, and deviations in the sagittal and vertical dimensions are common. To achieve three dimensional repositioning of the maxilla exactly, several methods have been introduced so far. Recently Model Repositioning Instrument (MRI, SAM, Inc., $M\ddot{u}nchen$, Germany), one of these methods, has been introduced and applied clinically, which is reported as accurate, effective and prompt method for three dimensional repositioning of the maxilla. This article describes an introduction and a clinical application of this MRI.

"A smile is happiness you'll find right under your nose"- Tom Wilson. This quote holds true just for patients, not for surgeons. The correction of the nose always poses a challenge to the cosmetic surgeon. Deformities of the external and internal nose may be congenital or acquired and may be secondary to soft tissue and/or osseo-cartilaginous abnormalities, leading to aesthetic and/or functional consequences. Alar flare poses a common problem, sometimes alone and sometimes in conjunction with other external deformities. Alar base reduction is generally considered when the interalar distance exceeds the intercanthal distance. It has been well documented that this simple additional procedure brings about a substantial enhancement in the nose. Various techniques have been described and used in the past, each having their benefits and drawbacks, with the modified Weir wedge excision, Aufricht nasal sill excision, and Bernstein V-Y advancement being the common ones. We hereby describe a technique that is simple yet effective in achieving the desired results and at the same time aims at preventing relapse to obtain satisfactory long term results.

Background: The dimensions and shape of the forehead determine the esthetics of the upper third of the face. Korean young people consider a broad and smooth, rounded forehead more attractive. As a result, frontal augmentation becomes more popular in patients with dentofacial deformities. Various surgical procedures and materials have been used in frontal augmentation surgery, with associated advantages and disadvantages. Silicone is a good candidate for frontal augmentation. The author presents two cases of esthetic frontal augmentation with a prefabricated silicone implant in female patients with dentofacial deformities. Case presentation: In case 1, a 24-year-old female patient underwent frontal augmentation surgery with simultaneous maxillomandibular and zygomatic osteotomies to correct facial asymmetry. A silicone implant was fabricated preoperatively using a positive template stone mold of her forehead. In case 2, a 23-year-old female patient underwent total facial contouring surgery including frontal augmentation for improved facial esthetics. A computed tomography (CT)-guided rapid prototype (RP) model was used to make the silicone implants. The operative procedure was safe and simple, and the silicone implants were reliable for a larger degree of frontal augmentation. Six months later, both patients had recovered from the surgery and were satisfied with their frontal shape and projection. Conclusions: Frontal augmentation with silicone implants can be an effective adjuvant strategy to improve facial esthetics in patients with a flat and narrow forehead who undergo orthognathic reconstruction or total facial contouring surgery.

Background: Supernumerary nostril is a congenital anomaly that contains additional nostril with or without accessory cartilage. These rare congenital nasal deformities result from embryological defects. Since 1906, Lindsay (Trans Pathol Soc Lond. 57:329-330, 1906) has published the first research of bilateral supernumerary nostrils, and only 34 cases have been reported so far in the English literature. Case presentation: A 1-year-old female baby was brought to our department group for the treatment of an accessory opening above the left nostril which had been presented since her birth. Medical history was non-specific and her birth was normal. The size of a supernumerary nostril was about 0.2 cm diameter and connected to the left nostril. The right one was normal. Minimal procedure was operated for the anomaly. After 1 year, rhinoplasty was performed for the nostril asymmetry. Conclusions: At 1 year follow-up, the functional and cosmetic result was satisfactory. In this case, it is important that we have early preoperative diagnosis. Also, it is desirable that we should perform a corrective surgery as soon as possible for the patient's psychosocial growth.
