Facial balance is the primary detevminant of good facial esthetics and is expressed externally by the shape of facial soft tissues. Balance of the facial skeleton is most important in prediction of orthognathic surgery, however, it is not alwags coincided to soft tissue balance because the soft tissue drapes overlying hard tissue varies in thickness and tones from case to case. So, soft tissue facial balance and esthetics also should always be considered in prediction of hard tissue changes preoperatively. The chin has a paramount importance in the overall appearance of the face and facial profile because it may express individual charactor or image. Therefore positional change of the chin must be considered in any cases as the last and important option to give an overall soft tissue balance. Two cases were referred from orthodontists only for anterior segmental of teortomuy of the chin. Pre-operative evaluation showed poor soft tissue chin profiles which were not coincided to hard tissue chin balance. We altered surgical plans to fulfill balancing soft tissue profile and then could improve overall esthetics after surgery.

두부방사선사진을 이용한 안모의 측모예측은 악교정수술에 있어서 가장 중요한 수술전 치료계획의 한부분으로 술후 경조직과 연조직의 변화를 예상하며 술자와 환자간에 술후 결과를 의논하는 대화의 재료로서도 그 중요성이 크다. 그러나, 술후 환자의 최종적인 측모와 수술 직전에 수술 계획에 따라 시행한 술후 측모의 예측과는 차이가 있다. 이러한 수술 전 시행하는 측모 예측의 부정확성을 감소시키기 위하여 새로운 경조직 대 연조직 변화비율 등을 추정하는 많은 연구가 시행되어 왔으나 측모방사선 예측의 부정확도를 조사하고 이러한 부정확성에 영향을 미치는 변수를 확인함이 측모방사선예측의 부정확성을 이해하고 감소시키는 데에 있어서 그 중요성이 크다고 생각된다. 이에 저자들은, 이미 시행되어 수술에 사용된 술후 측모예측기록을 수술직후 두부방사선 사진 및 술후 최소 6개월 추적 방사선 사진에 중첩하여 측모 예측의 부정확도를 조사한 바 총 30명의 환자에서 20명(66.6%)이 부정확도를 보였고 악골 및 치열의 술후 위치 불안정성도 측모 예측 정확군과 부정확군에 모두 19명(63.3%)에서 발생하여 측모 예측의 부정확도 영향을 주는 중요한 요인으로 확인되었다.

This study was performed to evaluate the change of the soft tissue facial profile after mandibular set back surgery during time intervals. For this study, 33 patient, 8 males and 25 females, were selected and their lateral cephalograms were taken and analyzed periodically. Hard and soft tissue changes during postoperative time intervals, correlation between surgical skeletal changes and postoperative soft tissue changes, and prediction for long-term soft tissue changes were established through varying statistical methods. The results were as follow : 1. There were meaningful changes of anteroposterior skeletal position at 6 months and 2 years after mandibular set back by mandibular ramus osteotomy. Two years postoperatively, there was 30%, 32%, 29% relapse on B point, pogonion, menton each. 2. Two years after the mandibular ramus osteotomy, the relative changes of the soft tissue to their osseous counterparts showed 76% on the lower lip and 91% on the pogonion. 3. The movements of the mandibular landmarks in correlation to anteroposterior position of the lower lip and soft tissue of the chin showed to be effective on a long-term basis. 4. Using surgical changes of pogonion, prediction of changes in soft and hard tissue pogonion was useful and the coefficient of determination was 0.46 each and their reliability decreased 2 years postoperatively. 5. The upper lip position after the mandibular set back surgery was somewhat anterior 2 years postoperatively, but that has no statistical meanings.

This study was designed to test the possibility of using a standardized lateral facial photographs as a clinical tool which produce the prediction of postsurgical soft-tissue profile changes associated with surgical correction in skeletal CIII patients. The number of the patients involved in this study were 27 in total, including 11 male patients and 16 female patients. A practical method to the utilization of presurgical photo prediction for mandibular prognathic patients has been presented. To predict postoperative facial appearance, montage photographs were superimposed on standard facial reference photos taken preoperatively. Within the limitations of its technology, postoperative predictions generated by this method were of sufficient accuracy, especially mandible and chin area, for clinical use. In addition, they provide valuable communication and diagnostic information which may be used in formulating treatment plan in cases requiring corrective orthognathic surgery. But, the lip changes were somewhat exaggerated by photo prediction. Consequently, the photo prediction seems suitable for planning profile changes in orthognathic surgery that include mobilization of one main mandibular fragment. Futher investigations are needed to determine whether changes of soft-tissues and hard-tissues are sufficiently reproducible so that more meaningful predictive values can be established.

The purpose of this study was to compare the soft tissue movements in facial profile predicted by a computer package with those that had actually accured following a sagittal split ramal osteotomy. The reliability of predicting the results of orthodontic surgical treatment was analysed. The study was based on the serial records of 30 consecutive patients who had been treated by means of a sagittal split ramal osteotomy. The serial lateral cephalometric radiographs used for the study were taken at the following stages: immediate preoperative : immediate postoperative : 6 months postoperative. A superimposition T1, T2-3 was generated to allow visual comparision. The results can be considered in relation to four important parts of the facial profile :the nose, upper lip, lower lip, and chin. The nose & Upper lip:The amount of movement of the upper lipwas not badly predicted for the average case. The lower lip: There was a significant trend over the whole sample for vertical positionof the lower lip to be less well predicted. The chin: The soft tissue movements of the chin were well predicted.

Facial esthetics is one of the most important goal of the orthodontic treatment and main concern of many patients. Facial esthetics should be considered in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Prediction of soft tissue profile changes after orthodontic tooth movement should be considered as well. The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of orthodontic treatment on lip profile in adult patient. The pre and post treatment cephalometric roentgenograms of 87 female adult with bimaxillary protrusion were used to analyze lip profile change. All subjects were treated with four bicuspids extraction. Obtained results were as follows . 1. Lip thickness changes after incisor retraction showed different patterns according to areas of the lip. The thickness of the red lip area showed 2.78 mm increase in average. In contrast the thickness of the cutaneous area showed 0.65 - 0.7 mm decrease according to the different cutaneous areas. 2. The length of the red lip area decreased(1.3mm) after incisor retraction. 3. The length of the cutaneous lip area increased(2.9mm) after incisor retraction.

본 연구는 Quick Ceph Image $Pro^{TM}$(ver 3.0)와 국내에서 개발되어 사용 중인 $V-Ceph^{TM}$(ver 3.5) 2 종의 비디오 이미지 예측 프로그램의 수술 후 연조직 측모의 정확성과 신뢰성에 대해서 알아보고자 시행되었다. 골격성 III급 부정교합으로 진단되어 수술 전 교정 치료를 받고. 하악골 후퇴 수술(body osteotomy 또는 SSRO)을 시행한 남녀 환자 각각 20명을 대상으로 하였다. 나이는 평균 $21.4\pm4$세이고, 수술 전 측모두부방사선계측사진은 수술 전 평균 21.1일에 수술 후 측모두부방사선계측사진은 수술 후 평균 335.7일에 촬영되었으며, 예측치와 실측치 차이를 비교하였다. 연구결과 Quick Ceph과 V-Ceph 모두 예측치와 실측치 사이에 크기와 방향에 있어서 오차가 관찰되었으며, 이러한 오차는 상순과 하순. 턱과 연관된 항목에서 크게 나타났다 (p<0.05). Quick Ceph은 A'. Ls, Li의 수평적 위치 및 각 부분에서의 연조직 두께(U1-Ls, L1-Li, Pog-Pog')의 수평거리 예측에서, V-Ceph은 하순의 수직적 위치 예측에서 오차가 컸다 (p<0.05) V-Ceph의 경우 하악골의 이동양이 증가할때 Sn의 수직적 위치, Ls의 수평적 위치 상순의 연조직 두께 (U1 -Ls)처럼 상순과 연관된 계측치에서 예측오차가 컸으며, Quick Ceph의 경우 하악골의 이동양이 증가할 때 하순의 수평위치 및 하순의 두께에서의 예측오차가 작았다 (P<0,05) 또한, 연조직의 두께에 따른 오차를 평가한 결과, Quick Ceph의 경우 상순과 하순의 두께가 두꺼울수록 각각에 관련된 연조직 예측의 오차가 컸으며 (P<0.05). V-Ceph의 경우 하순과 턱의 연조직 두께가 두꺼울수록 턱의 연조직 예측의 오차가 크게 관찰되었다 (p<0.05). 그러나 본 연구에서의 모든 예측오차 값은 3mm 이내로 계측되었으며, 이러한 오차 범주는 임상적으로 허용 가능한 수준인 것으로 생각된다.

Orthognathic surgery for Class III malocclusion requires an elaborate preoperative planning using cephalometries or Mock surgery models which enable the surgeon to anticipate postoperative skeletal changes of maxilla and mandible as well as dentition. After surgery, patient's satisfaction is greatly influenced by appearance of soft tissue change. Therefore, it is imperative to predict a relatively accurate soft tissue change prior to surgery. A 5 year retrospective study was designed to evaluate the soft tissue change after sagittal split osteotomy of ramus(SSRO) for class III malocclusion. Analyses of preoperative and postoperative anthropometric measurements were performed. Patients who were treated only by SSRO for class III malocclusion and could follow up for 6 months were studied. Among them, the patients who had history of cleft palate and lip or hemifacial microsomia were excluded. Soft tissue changes were estimated by using the frontal and lateral photographs. Skeletal changes were observed by measuring amount of set back and angular changes of mandible to the reference line by using cephalometries. Relapses were also measured 6 months after the operation. We could observe skeletal changes were more profound than soft tissue changes concerning amount of set back, but soft tissue changes were also profound in angle. Relapse was more profound in skeleton than soft tissue but the amount was not significant. In spite of the variables which may affect proper assessment of the soft tissue change after skeletal relocation, this study can serve as a guide for exact prediction of the postoperative change of soft tissue and skeleton.
