Personalized Approach

(1) Background: Traumatic dental injuries are frequent in children and young adults. The facial structures involved in dental trauma may include soft tissues of the face and mouth, bone and dental structures. Dental trauma often results in augmented dental anxiety. Phototherapy can improve stress and pain control thereby improving compliance in young patients with the necessary dental treatments, after dental trauma has occurred. (2) Methods: Phototherapy was performed to enable soft tissue healing. The Tailored Brushing Method (TBM), a personalized approach for at-home oral hygiene procedures, was also utilized, with the aim of improving biofilm control in traumatized patients. (3) Results: The approach hereafter presented made it possible to obtain subjective control of anxiety and pain documented on a visual analog scale (VAS) due to the innovative use of photo-biomodulation. In addition, for the first time, the TBM was adapted to the needs of a patient with facial trauma and illustrated. (4) Conclusions: Phototherapy and TBM were found to be effective in the combined treatment of soft tissue wounds and in the oral care of the traumatized patient.

Craniofacial trauma can result in a wide variety of injuries that cause soft tissue injury of face. However, despite the enormous diversity in presentation of these injuries, they tend to follow certain patterns. Most facial injuries are either contusions, abrasions, lacerations, or avulsions. The extent of injury and approach to repair can be further assessed by the size, depth, and number of facial subunits involved. A plastic surgeon in the setting of acute craniofacial trauma, armed with certain principles of facial anatomy and primary repair methods, can drastically restore function and cosmesis to the face, while also mitigating the chance of future deformity and functional deficit.

Bimaxillary Surgery

A new color-coded method of illustrating three-dimensional changes in the bone and the ratio of soft tissue to bone movement is described. The technique is illustrated by superimposing preoperative and 1-year postoperative CT scans of three patients following bimaxillary surgery. The method has proved to be a very simple, effective, and readily interpreted method of quantifying both bone and the ratio of movement of the overlying soft tissues across the face following surgery.

Introduction: Interpersonal violence (IPV) has emerged as a worldwide health problem affecting predominantly the face. Patients and methods: This study reports the characteristics of violence, victims and injuries in IPV-related facial injuries patients, in a 10-year survey, in a tertiary hospital of Burkina Faso. Results: Patients’ age ranged from 11 to 75 years (mean 31 years) and 58.2% of the patients were aged between 20 and 39 years. There were 74 males and females 24 giving a male-to-female ratio of 3.1:1. The circumstances of injuries were brawls (80.6%) consisting mostly in facial blows, and hold-ups (19.4%). Fractures involving predominantly the mandible or the zygomatic complex were the most common injury, accounting for 53.2%. Soft tissues injuries accounted for 37.2% and dental trauma for 9.2%. In 27.5% of the patients, extra facial injuries were encountered, dominated by cerebral trauma and limb fractures. Conclusion: In this study, IPV-related facial injuries are mostly mandibular or zygomatic fractures in young and males adults involved in brawls. These findings command strategies for prevention of violence in this specific group.

Facial ageing occurs as a consequence of multifactorial changes in both the external skin and underlying tissues. The ageing process may vary dramatically between individual patients and is thus influenced by genetic factors. When assessing the ageing face it is important to consider the skeletal architecture, the soft tissue layers including the anterior fat pads, the osseocutaneous ligament anchors, and finally the overlying skin. Assessment of the external skin incorporates factors such as dermal thinning, solar damage, lifestyle effects such as smoking, and Fitzpatrick skin type. Surgical correction of facial ageing attempts to reverse both gravitational change of soft tissues and also to restore volume loss. There are a variety of methods used to divide the face into regions, but for the purpose of this chapter, the surgical management of facial ageing will be separated into three anatomical areas: (1) upper face, including the upper eyelids, eyebrows, and forehead; (2) midface, including the lower eyelid/anterior cheek continuum; and (3) lower and lateral cheek, neck, and perioral region

Introduction: The success of orthodontic treatment is often associated with the improvement of facial appearance. Soft tissues of the nose, lips and chin are important factors in determining the beauty of the face. The aim of this study was to determine the facial profile of the Bataknese based on the proportion of soft tissue facial components such as nose, lips and chin. Materials and Methods: This research was an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The samples of this research consists of 48 Batak tribe students in FKG USU Medan. This research was carried out by using 48 lateral cephalometry obtained from Batak tribe students who fit the inclusion criteria.Determination of soft tissue facial profile was carried out with Skinazi method. Results: The mean proportion results obtained from the soft tissue facial components of the nose was 64.41%, upper lip 13.79%, lower lip 14.80% and chin 6.86%. The results showed soft tissue facial profile obtained descriptively from the Bataknese were highest in nose proportion followed by lower lip, upper lip and the smallest were chin proportion. Large proportion of the nose and small proportion of chin showed that facial profile of the Bataknese were convex. The results of t- test and Mann Whitney analysis of nose, upper lip, lower lip and chin proportion showed there were no difference between male and female (p>0.05). Conclusion(s): The findings of this research showed that the soft tissue facial profile based on nose, lips and chin propotions in male and female from Batak tribe were convex.

Tissue Injuries

Trauma to the face and neck is a frequent reason for emergency department attendance. Imaging is invaluable in the characterisation of such injuries, enabling delineation of fracture patterns as well as identification of vascular and other soft tissue injuries. It may also be used to prevent long-term mortality and morbidity and provide a roadmap for surgical intervention so that form and function may be restored. This article gives a pictorial review of the imaging of craniofacial trauma, stratified according to the thirds of the face, followed by a review of blunt and penetrating trauma of the neck. It discusses appropriate imaging modalities for each trauma category, describes major patterns of craniofacial trauma on cross-sectional imaging and identifies clinically relevant imaging features that should trigger subspecialist review or be of relevance to pre-surgical planning. It starts with the upper third comprising frontal sinus fractures before describing the component fractures of the middle third (including nasal, zygomaticomaxillary and orbital fractures) and then focusing on the lower third (specifically mandibular and dentoalveolar fractures). The article concludes with a review of soft tissue injuries of the neck, particularly penetrating, blunt and laryngeal trauma.

Rituals for disposing of exfoliated primary teeth exist in virtually all cultures around the globe, suggesting an important psychological and social function for young children and parents. Despite the importance of these rituals, and the role they may play in children's interactions with dental professionals, the meaning and purpose of primary tooth disposal traditions has not yet received adequate attention in pediatric dentistry. The overarching goal of this perspective was to draw attention to the meaning and purpose of primary tooth disposal rituals and show how, with a greater understanding of these rituals, dental professionals could improve the interactions they have with their young patients. To achieve this goal, we first summarize findings from prior research on how primary tooth disposal rituals are primarily practiced as a rite-of-passage to ease the transition from early to later childhood, to counteract anxiety, trauma, or pain experienced by children of tooth-shedding age, and to honor spiritual or religious beliefs that are thought to protect the child and aid their healthy development. Second, we articulate how, by understanding the significance and diversity of these traditions, practitioners can potentially improve their ability to prevent dental anxiety, increase their cultural competence to engage with increasingly diverse pediatric patient populations, and ensure more timely primary oral care. Finally, we provide a two-pronged approach, centered around the pillars of Education and Communication, to improve overall patient care built on knowledge of these rituals and cultural practices.

Facial reconstruction is an art and science in the field of forensics which involves construction of a recognizable face on unknown skull remains. It appears as a, metaphorically speaking “shining beacon of hope” after everything else fails for identification of the remains. Both, 2D and 3D methods of facial reconstruction have been developed for this process. The database of facial soft tissue thickness based on gender, ethnicity and age, at certain bilateral and unilateral anatomical points on skull bones, lay foundation to the process of reanimating the facial profile of a deceased. Several imaging modalities have been used for the collection of this data, in addition to the cadavers and various guidelines have been given for the reconstruction of the soft tissues, however, to construct soft tissue structures like nose, eyes, mouth and ears which take an important position in determination of the facial features is still a tedious task. This process is being researched since a century and multiple guidelines for reconstruction of the soft tissue structures are available. The face plays out based on the method used; hence selection of an appropriate method is vital. This review encompasses the various methods/guidelines derived for the reconstruction of the nose, eyes, mouth and ears of the face. In addition to the traditional methods given by Gerasimov, Krogman, Prokopec and Ubelaker, George, etc. other newer methods have been mentioned. This review also highlights assessment studies performed using the said methods in populations other than the ones they were derived from.

AbstractThe lower third is very important for the pleasant appearance of the face. A well-contoured jawline is desirable in men and women, giving a perception of beauty and youth. It is also key to sexual dimorphism, defining masculine and feminine characteristics. The nonsurgical rejuvenation and beautification of the lower third of the face is becoming more frequent. Injectable fillers can reshape the jawline, lift soft tissues, and improve facial proportions, effectively improving the appearance of the area.It is paramount to understand the facial anatomy and perform a good facial assessment in order to propose a proper aesthetic treatment plan. The aesthetic goal of the rejuvenation approach is to redefine the mandibular angle and line. In young patients, beautification can be achieved through correction of constitutional deficit or enhancement of the contour of the face, improving the facial shape. It is very important to possess knowledge of facial anatomy and of the aging process in order to deliver effective and safe results.In this article, we discuss the anatomy of the lower third of the face, facial assessment, aging process, and treatments of the chin, prejowls and mandibular line and angle with injectable fillers. The authors’ experience in the approach of this area is discussed.
