It is reported that the orthognathic patients suffer from not only aesthetic problems but also resonance disorder and articulation disorder because of the abnormality of the oral cavity. This study was designed to investigate the resonance of nasality and the intelligibility of speech for acoustic characteristics of patients' speech before and after orthognatic surgery. 8 orthognathic patients participated in the study. The nasality of words containing Korean consonants, Korean consonants and frequency and intensity of the fricative /s/ were measured using Nasometer and CSL (Computerized Speech Lab). Results were as follows: First, the nasality of post orthognathic surgery patients decreased in spontaneous speech. There was a significant difference in the nasality for all words between pre and post orthognatic surgery patients. Second, the nasality of each Korean consonant phoneme of post orthognathic surgery patients decreased. There was also a significant difference of the nasality for each Korean consonant phoneme between pre and post orthognatic surgery patients. Third, the decreased nasality for Korean consonant phonemes showed in plosives, affricates, fricatives, liquids, and nasals after surgery. But the significant difference showed only in plosives and fricatives. Finally, frequency and intensity for the fricative /s/ of post orthognathic patients increased.

It is reported that the orthognathic patients suffer from not only aesthetic problems but also resonance disorder and articulation disorder because of the abnormality of the oral cavity. These disorders have an influence on the patients' communication and they are usually required to be corrected by orthognathic surgery. Speech of the orthognatic patients is affected by the change of the oral cavity capacity and structures after surgery. This study was designed to investigate the resonance of nasality and the intelligibility of speech for acoustic characteristics of speech for pre and post orthognatic surgery patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to prove that orthognatic surgery on asymmetric prognathism patients improve the temporomandibular dysfunction. Materials and methods: All 30 patients underwent mandibular setback with B-SSRO including 22 patients Le Fort I surgery in KyungHee medical center. Preoperative and postoperative PA cephalograms & transcranial radiographs were measured midline deviation in Mx and Mn, occlusal canting change, condyle position, the temporomandibular dysfunction were checked before surgery, within 1 month after surgery, $3{\sim}6$ months, 12-24 months after surgery respectively. Results: The temporomandibular dysfunction were relieved after surgery in 17 patients of 25 patients. Conclusion: Orthognatic surgery may benefit the temporomandibular joint dysfunction in facial asymmetry patients by obtaining a postoperative stable occlusion and better physiologic neuromuscular function. Specially impovement of occlusal canting may reduce condyle displacement of midline deviation side and the temporomandibular joint dysfunction.

Traditionally 2D cephalometric analysis has been used for diagnosis and treatment of maxillofacial deformities. However, 2D has some limitations in diagnosis and treatment planning especially facial asymmetry cases. The most weakness of 2D is overlapping and unpredictability. Today 3D treatment tools are used by many maxillofacial surgeons. 3D treatment tools can show ungarbled facial anatomy and do virtual surgery. The aim of this report is to present usefulness of using 3D analysis and virtual orthognathic surgery for severe facial asymmetry patients.

Purpose: Congenital factor VII (FVII) deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder and surgery can cause excessive bleeding due to an extrinsic pathway problem. It can be diagnosed by increased PT and decreased FVII level in coagulation test. Symptom varies according to the level of FVII, but it is essential to prevent intraoperative excessive bleeding. Methods: In this report, we described the orthognatic surgery experience in a mandibular prognathism patient with congenital FVII deficiency, in which recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) was used to manage the bleeding. Rsults: We could get a successful result without any complication and there was minimal intraoperative bleeding. Conclusion: The orthognathic surgery could therefore be safely performed in patients with congenital factor VII deficiency using rFVIIa.

The postoperative maxillary cyst develops as a delayed complication after surgical intervention or Caldwell-Luc operation in the maxillary sinus and was also reported that it could occur after Le Fort I osteotomy. This is also called as surgical cliated cyst because of its lining epithelium is usually lined by a pseudo-stratfied ciliated columnar epithelium. This report represents a case of postoperative maxillary cyst which developed within the anterior of maxilla and in association with nasal mucosa 6 years after a Le Fort I osteotomy. In 1989, 26-year-old male complained of his mandibular prognathism and underwent orthogmathic surgery, Le Fort I osteotomy, bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy, partial glossectomy.

Postoperative infection following orthognatic surgery is rare. When postoperative infections occur, the initial treatment consists of incision and drainage of the affected area, culturing to identify bacterial stains and verify antibiotic sensitivity, and the institution of the appropriate antibiotic regimen. Some plates and screws may eventually require removal, the initial therapy should be attempted to retain the plates and screws until adequete healing has taken place. In orthoganthic surgery, intra-operative complications as a lesion of inferior alveolar nerve, fracture of osteomised segments, incomplete sectioning, malposition of segments, haemorrhage may occur. The surgeon should be familiar with possible complications to be caused and how to manage them. Prevention of postoperative infection following the orthognathic surgery consists of minimal periosteal reflection, aseptic management of operation field, proper surgical technique, rigid fixation, prophylactic antibiotics.

Computer Assisted Simulation Surgery (CASS) is a reliable method that permits oral and maxillofacial surgeons to visualize the position of the maxilla and the mandible as observed in the patient. The purpose of this report was to introduce a newly developed strategy for proximal segment management according to Balanced Orthognathic Surgery (BOS) protocol which is a type of CASS, and to establish the clinical feasibility of the BOS protocol in the treatment of complex maxillo-facial deformities. The BOS protocol consists of the following 4 phases: 1) Planning and simulation phase, 2) Modeling phase, 3) Surgical phase, and 4) Evaluation phase. The surgical interventions in 80 consecutive patients were planned and executed by the BOS protocol. The BOS protocol ensures accuracy during surgery, thereby facilitating the completion of procedures without any complications. The BOS protocol may be a complete solution that enables an orthognatic surgeon to perform accurate surgery based on a surgical plan, making real outcomes as close to pre-planned outcomes as possible.

The application of CT with basis on 3 dimensional-reconstruction is getting more widely practiced. With the data obtained from cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT), not only the diagnosis of the patient with skeletal abnormality but also the virtual simulation of the orthognathic surgery were performed and its application would be popular in orthodontic field. We reported a case, a 19-year old man who was diagnosed mandibular prognathism and required orthognatic surgery. In this case, the virtual orthognathic surgery was simulated and surgical wafer was fabricated by using CBCT data. That wafer was applied the actual orthognathic surgery. After preoperative orthodontic treatment, we prepared surgery as follows. : (l)Acquisition of 3D image data, (2)Reconstruction of 3-dimensional virtual model, (3)Virtual model surgery, (4)Extraction of stere-olithographic image, (5)Check-up for occlusal interference, (6)Fabrication of surgical stent by stereolithography. Bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy was operated and used stereolithographic surgical stent. 1 month later, we superimposed CBCT datas of virtual surgery and that of actual surgery, and then compared the result. CT data's application for othognathic surgery yielded satisfactory outcomes.
