Soft Tissue Changes

Background: The primary aim of this study was to assess the esthetic profile and hard and soft tissue changes in patients with borderline class III malocclusion after maxillary advancement or mandibular setback surgery. The secondary aim was also to evaluate the patients’ face attractiveness after different surgical treatment. Materials and Methods: This observational cross-sectional study evaluated 50 patients with borderline class III malocclusion with a mean age of 29 ± 4 years treated from 2014 to 2019. They were divided into two groups based on the type of surgical treatment underwent: 13 patients were treated with mandibular setback (4 males, 9 females), and 37 patients with maxillary advancement (16 males, 21 females). Hard and soft tissue parameters were measured pre and postoperative evaluation. Frontal and profile photographs of these patients were judged by 15 orthodontists, 15 oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and 15 laypeople before and after surgery. The most and the least attractive profiles were scored 10 and 0, respectively. T-test was used to analyze normally distributed data while Mann-Whitney test for non-normally distributed data. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the esthetic judgement between the three groups of observers. Pairwise comparisons were carried out using the Mann-Whitney test. Results: Nasolabial angle, SNA, U1/NA (°), U1/NA (mm), L1/NB (°) and L1/NB (mm) were significantly different between the two groups p<0.04, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.005, p<0.07, p<0.08, p<0.01 respectively Orthodontists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and laypeople all gave a lower score to mandibular setback and higher score to maxillary advancement in terms of facial profile esthetics (P<0.001). Conclusion: Some cephalometric parameters were significantly different between the two groups. The maxillary advancement seemed to provide better results in facial profile esthetics than mandibular setback for patients with borderline class III malocclusion.

Removable Appliance

Objective: This longitudinal retrospective cephalometric study was undertaken in an attempt to evaluate the effect of upper removable appliances on the hard and soft tissue structures in subjects with postural Class III. Methods: The material consisted of cephalometric films of 17 Class III patients (8 females and 9 males, with a mean age of 10.10 ± 1.63). Each treated patient was matched before treatment with Class III subject for sex and age. Differences in treated group at T1 and T2 and between treated and untreated groups were examined using paired t-test and independent t-test respectively. Results: Treated and untreated Class III subjects differed in mandibular prognathism (SNB, P&lt;0.01). Upper incisors proclined and inter-incisal angle reduced during treatment (P&lt;0.001). Soft tissue A point moved anteriorly as maxillary incisors were proclined (P&lt;0.05). Soft tissue profile was improved (NNP, P&lt;0.05; NAP, P&lt;0.01). Conclusion: Skeletal, dental and soft tissue changes were found in patients treated by upper removable appliance in postural Class III patients. Clinical relevance: upper removable appliance is an efficient method to procline upper incisors in postural Class III malocclusion and may be of greater influence in improving soft tissue profile.

Cephalometric Study

Objective: This longitudinal retrospective cephalometric study was undertaken in an attempt to evaluate the effect of Class III activator on the soft tissue structures in subjects with skeletal Class III. Methods: The material consisted of cephalometric films of 26 Class III patients (13females and 13 males, with a mean age of 13.58±4.38 years). Each treated patient was matched before treatment with Class III subject for sex and age. Differences at T1 and T2 were examined using paired t-test. Results: After treatment the patients' soft tissue profile improved significantly compare with before treatment. Conclusion: Soft tissue changes were found in patients treated by Class III activator in skeletal Class III patients. Clinical relevance: Class III activator may be an efficient method to improving soft tissue facial profile in Skeletal Class III malocclusion.

Bac kground:The principlegoal of orthognathic surgery is to establish a balanced and stable dento-skeleto facial complex. This mandates the surgeon and the orthodontist to be able to predict the soft tissue changes to the orthognathic surgery precisely, which is accurately possible using 3-D imaging. Aims: To evaluate the soft tissue changes following class III orthognathic surgery using 3-D imaging. Settings and Design: Systematic review. Methods and Material:This review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and meta-Analyses guidelines systematically searching the six databases including PubMed, Cochrane, Google Scholar, LILACS, Directory of Open Access Journals, and OpenGrey. Statistical analysis used:Not applicable. Results: This systematic review comprises of most UpTo Date evidence from eleven articles answering the review questions. Conclusion: Le Fort I advancement shows significant increase in the alar width, alar cinch, upper lip, chelion, labiale superius, crista philtri, pronasale and subnasale. Mandibular setback shows significant backward movement of soft tissue point B, labialeinferius and subnasale and chin.

Soft Tissue Changes

Objective. This study was focused on comparing and analyzing the soft tissue changes induced by Reverse Twin-Block (RTB) and Reverse Pull Face Mask (RPFM) in early and late mixed dentition Malay children having Class III malocclusion. Methods. This cross-sectional study includes a total sample of 95 Malay children of both early (8-9 years) and late (10-11 years) mixed dentition stages. The comparison was between 49 samples treated by RTB and 46 samples treated by RPFM. Both pre- and posttreatment changes were assessed with Holdaway’s analysis using the CASSOS software. In each cephalogram, 71 anatomic landmarks were traced. Descriptive and multiple regression analyses were performed for statistical evaluation. Results. Statistically significant changes were noticed in soft tissue facial angle, subnasale to H-line, skeletal profile convexity, upper lip strain, H-line angle, lower lip to H-line, and inferior sulcus to H-line measurements. Gender disparity was noticed in upper lip strain. Other significant changes were influenced by the type of appliance. However, the mean differences were minute to notice clinically. Age difference did not have any effect on the treatment changes. Conclusions. RPFM revealed treatment outcome with more protruded upper lip than RTB.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate three-dimensional soft tissue changes of lips and related jaw changes in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion and facial asymmetry using cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT). METHOD: This study included 46 CBCT scans of patients with aforementioned character before (T1) and 6–12 months after orthognathic surgery (T2). Subjects were divided into 2 groups according to two types of orthognathic surgery namely, the one-jaw surgery group who underwent bilateral sagittal splint ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) and the two-jaw surgery group who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy and BSSRO. Mimics 19.0 software are used for model reconstruction, landmark location and three-dimensional cephalometric analysis. Descriptive statistics and correlation analyses are used to investigate jaw hard tissue and lip soft tissue changes. RESULTS: In one-jaw group, the mandible shows changes in contour and position (p <  0.05), and the surgery causes changes of lip structure on the deviated side. While in two-jaw group, jaws only show changes in spatial position, and surgery changes contour of bilateral lips and nasolabial angle (p <  0.05). At the same time, lip symmetry increases significantly in both groups postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: Orthognathic surgery can improve lip aesthetics in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion and facial asymmetry. However, changes induced by two surgical approaches are different. Surgeons should have a clear acquaintance with this difference to deal with different situations.
