The mentum plays an important role in the aesthetics of the face, and genioplasty is performed to improve an unbalance of the mentum. Among the various surgical approaches, setback genioplasty is used to create an aesthetic jaw-end appearance by moving the mentum backward when it protrudes more than normal. However, conventional setback genioplasty may be aesthetically disadvantageous because the profile of the mentum could become flat. This case study attempted to overcome the limitations of conventional setback genioplasty by rotating the position of the menton and pogonion. We devised a new method for setback genioplasty by rotating the segment anteroinferiorly. Using virtual surgery, we were able to specify the range of surgery more accurately and easily, and the surgery time was reduced. This case report showed the difference in chin soft tissue responses between conventional setback genioplasty and setback genioplasty with rotation.

Purpose: The purpose of this setback genioplasty study is to develop a prediction method for the calculated osteotomy angle using horizontal and vertical changes as well as to evaluate the proportion of hard and soft tissue changes. Methods: Twelve patients who had received setback genioplasty with other maxillofacial surgery were examined. Three lateral cephalograms were taken just before surgery, immediately after surgery, and 3 months later surgery. A reference line was established to the reference point of the inner most point of the lingual symphysis cortex, incisor tip, and 2nd molar cusp tip. Measuring was conducted from pogonion (Pg), menton (Me), labrale inferius (Li), Mentolabial fold, soft tissue pogonion (Pg'), and soft tissue menton (Me') to the reference lines. Results: In setback genioplasty, the skeletal Pg moved posteriorly 5.07 mm. The ratios of soft tissue to hard tissue movement were 36% posteriorly and 62% inferiorly at Pg', 67% posteriorly and 104% inferiorly at Me', and 34% anteriorly and 164% posteriorly at Li. In reduction & setback genioplasty, skeletal Pg moved posteriorly 4.63 mm and skeletal Me moved superiorly 3.63 mm. The ratios of soft tissue to hard tissue movement were 76% posteriorly and 18% superiorly at Pg', 68% posteriorly and 42% superiorly at Me', and 44% anteriorly, 124% posteriorly at Li. The calculated mean slope angle, based on ${\Delta}H/{\Delta}V$ ratio, was 61.25 and the measured mean slope angle was 60.17. Thus, the calculated and measured slope angles have a similarity. Conclusion: In setback genioplasty, soft tissue moves posteriorly and inferiorly. In particular, at the Me' and Pg', the inferior movement of the soft tissue is greater than the posterior movement. Also, the predictable results (measured slope angle) after operation can be achieved by the calculated slope angle. Thus, the relationship of soft and hard tissue changes must be considered as the results are predictable.

III급 부정교합의 악교정수술을 통한 치료 시 하악 후퇴술만을 시행하는 경우와 하악 후퇴술에 전진 이부성형술이 추가로 시행되는 경우에 있어 초진 시 측모 두부 방사선사진상의 특성차이에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 구올담치 과병원 구강외과에서 III급 부정교합을 하악후퇴술을 통하여 치료한 33명을 대상으로 하여 하악 후퇴술만을 시행한 21명과 하악 후퇴술과 전진 이부성형술을 시행한 12명으로 나누어 초진 측모 두부 방사선사진상의 차이를 알아보았다. 그 결과 B군에서 N-Me, ANS-Me이 더 길었으며 교합평면의 각도가 더 컸다. 구개평면에서 상악중절치까지의 거리, 하악평면에서 하악 절치 및 제1대구치까지의 거리가 B군에서 더 길었으며, 상악 중절치는 더 설측경사를 보였다. B군에서 Sn-Stms는 더 길고 연조직 Pog은 덜 돌출되어 있었다. 본 연구의 결과에 따라 III급 부정교합 환자에서 하악 후퇴술과 더불어 전진 이부성형술이 시행될지 여부를 예측하는데 초진 측모 두부 방사선사진상의 위 계측항목을 이용할 수 있을 것이다. 수술전 발치교정을 시행한 경우가 있다는 것과 외과의의 심미안, 해부학적 구조등이 이부성형술에 영향을 미쳤을 수 있다는 것은 본 연구의 한계로 생각된다.

본 연구는 과도한 하안면 고경을 동반하는 하악전돌증 환자의 악교정수술시 하악골후퇴 술과 이부 감소 성형술을 동시에 시행한 경우의 경조직과 연조직의 변화에 대해 살펴보고, 그 상관성을 평가하여 향후 진단시 보조자료로서 사용하고자 시행되었다. 골격성 III급 부정 교합으로 진단되어 술전 교정치료를 받고 하악골 후퇴술만을 시행한 성인 환자 20명을 대조군(A군)으로, 안모의 수평적 및 수직적 부조화가 심한 골격성 III급 부정교합으로 진단되어 술전 교정치료를 받고 하악골 후퇴술과 이부 감소 성형술을 함께 시행한 성인 환자 20명을 실험군(B군)으로 하였다. 두 군의 경조직 변화에 대한 연조직 변화 양상과, 경조직 변화에 따른 연조직의 이동 비율을 비교 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. A, B군 모두에서 경조직의 후방 이동과 하안면 하부 2/3의 연조직(Ils, Pog', Me')의 수평적 변화는 높은 상관성을 보였으며, B군에서는 A군에서보다 Ls, Stm, Li의 수평적 변화에도 중등도 이상의 상관성을 보였다. 2. B군의 경조직의 수직 이동에 따른 연조직의 수직적 변화의 상관성은 Point B-Ils, Me-Me'을 제외하고는 A군보다 적은 것으로 나타났다. 3. 경조직의 변화에 대한 연조직의 변화율을 비교해 보면, B군의 경우Pog'의 후방이동 비율이 A군에서보다 적게 나타났고, B군의 Ils, Pog', Me'의 상방이동 비율은 각각 32%, 54%, 60%로 나타났다. 4. 안면의 수직 고경에 대해서는 A, B군 모두에서 하안면 고경의 유의한 감소로 전안면 고경에 대한 하안면 고경의 비율이 감소하였으나, B군에서는 하안면 상부 1/3(Sn-Stm)의 비율은 변화 양상이 유의성있게 나타나지 않았다. 5. 이부 감소 성형술은 하악후퇴술과 함께 시행시 하안면 상부 1/3(Sn-Stm)의 안모비율에 대한 변화가 적고, 하안면 하부 2/3(St-Me')의 고경을 감소시킬 수 있는 술식이다.

Objectives: This paper proposes Han's ratio as an objective and quantitative comparative result obtained from pre and postoperative data in patients with a mandibular angle reduction. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients, 12 men and 18 women, who visited the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with the chief complaints of skeletal mandibular prognathism and prominent mandibular angle were selected. The subjects were classified into 3 groups according to the types of surgical procedures involved. Group A consisted of patients who underwent mandibular angle resection and mandibular setback. Group B was comprised of patients with mandibular angle resection, mandibular setback and genioplasty. Group C consisted of patients with mandibular angle resection, mandibular setback, Le Fort I osteotomy, and genioplasty. The landmarks placed in pre and postoperative frontal photographs were used to obtain the Han's ratio in each group. The Han's ratios were compared pre- and postoperation and according to the surgical techniques applied. Results: Of the 3 groups who had undergone a mandibular angle resection, all showed a statistically significant increase in Han's ratio. On the other hand, there was no statistically significant difference based on the surgical techniques used. Conclusion: The ratio of the lateral lower face proposed in this study is a potential indicator of postoperative esthetic enhancement in mandibular angle reduction surgery.

Introduction: To evaluate the 3-dimensional changes in the pharyngeal airway of skeletal class III patients after bimaxillary surgery. Materials and Methods: The study sample consisted of 18 Korean patients that had undergone maxillary setback or posterosuperior movement and mandibular bilateral sagittal split osteotomy setback surgery due to skeletal class III malocclusion (8 males, 10 females; mean age of 28.7). Cone beam computed tomography was taken 1 month before and 6 months after orthognathic surgery. Preoperative and postoperative volumes of the nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and laryngopharyngeal airways and minimum axial areas of the oropharyngeal and laryngopharyngeal spaces were measured. Moreover, the pharyngeal airway volume of the patient group that had received genioplasty advancement was compared with the other group that had not. Results: The nasopharyngeal and laryngopharyngeal spaces did not show significant differences before or after surgery. However, the oropharyngeal space volume and total volume of pharyngeal airway decreased significantly (P<0.05). The minimum axial area of the oropharynx also decreased significantly. Conclusion: The results indicate that bimaxillary surgery decreased the volume and the minimum axial area of the oropharyngeal space. Advanced genioplasty did not seem to have a significant effect on the volumes of the oropharyngeal and laryngopharyngeal spaces.

Purpose: Although there have been several studies of reduced airway space after mandibular setback surgery using the sagittal split ramus osteotomy technique, research on the risk factors for changes of the airway space is lacking. Therefore, this study was performed to examine airway changes and the position of the hyoid bone after orthognathic surgery, and to assess possible risk factors. Methods: In this retrospective study, 50 patients who underwent posterior displacement of the mandible by the bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy technique were included. Changes of the position of the hyoid bone and the airway space were analyzed over various follow-up periods, using cephalometric radiography taken preoperatively, immediately after surgery, eight weeks after surgery, six months after surgery, and one year after surgery. To identify risk factors, multiple regression analysis of age, gender, body mass index (BMI), posterior mandibular movement, and the presence of genioplasty was performed. Results: Inferor and posterior movement of the hyoid bone was observed postoperatively, but subsequent observations showed regression towards the anterosuperior aspect. The airway space also significantly decreased after surgery (P<0.05), and increased slightly up until six months after surgery. The airway space significantly decreased (${\beta}=0.47$, P<0.01) as the amount of mandibular setback increased. However, age, sex, BMI, and presence of genioplasty were not associated with airway reduction. Conclusion: The amount of mandibular set back was significantly associated with postoperative reduction of airway space. It is necessary to establish a treatment plan considering this factor.

Horner's syndrome as a complication of orthognathic surgery is given little attention of head and neck surgery and is a relatively benign and transient condition. A 18-year-old male referred to our department with long and anteriorly projected chin. The cephalometric evaluation revealed a skeletal Class III relationship. A 10-mm setback of the mandible to eliminate Class III relationship and 4-mm vertical reduction genioplasty were performed. Three weeks after operation, the patient was recognized anhidrosis in left face and the head, and ptosis of left eye. The trauma to cervical sympathetic nerve during left sagittal split ramus osteotomy was thought to be the cause of Horner's syndrome. Patient was treated by dermatologic and opthalmologic care. Follow-up examination 8 months later, he was recovery of horner's symptom.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical availability of submentoplasty for esthethic improvement of the cervico-facial region of patients with obtuse chin-neck angle. Materials and methods : Case 1. We evaluate the changes of submental line length and chin-neck angle of 35-year-old woman with skeletal Class III and mandibular excess with excessive submental fat before and after surgery: Bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy(BSSRO) setback(5mm), Mandibular Angle Reduction, Reduction Malarplasty and Submentoplasty. In this case, It was done simultaneously with orthognathic surgery. Case 2. The changes of submental line length and chin-neck angle of 20-year-old man with skeletal class III and maxillary defiency were evaluated before surgery, at first surgery : Lefort I osteotomy(6mm posterior Impaction), BSSRO setback(9mm), Paranasal Augmentation and at second surgery: genioplasty(6mm advanced) with submentoplasty. In this case, submentoplasty and advancement genioplasty were done after 2 months post-operative periods. Results : Case 1. In case of the Skeletal Class III mandibular excess with submental fat deposit, It showed the improvement of submental angle and length of submental line after simultaneous submentoplasty. Submental angle is changed from $177^{\circ}$ (pre-op) to $151^{\circ}$ (post-op) and submental line length is changed from 8mm(pre-op) to 36mm(post-op). Case 2. The improvement of submental angle and length of submental line after delayed submentoplasty was aquired in case of the skeletal class III maxillary defiency. Submental angle is changed from $154^{\circ}$ (pre-op) to $161^{\circ}$ (first surgery) and to $153^{\circ}$ (second surgery) and submental line length is changed from 25mm(pre-op) to 19mm(first surgery) and to 23mm(second surgery). Conclusion : The results suggest that Submentoplasty is useful surgical procedure for esthethic improvement of the cervicofacial region of patients with obtuse chin-neck angle.
