A novel guide for minimally invasive genioplasty

Abstract

Mentoplasty or genioplasty is a simple procedure to enhance facial aesthetics. While usually considered simple, it might present certain difficulties during execution, especially when a minimally invasive approach is preferred. Drilling and cutting guides are a valuable tool to overcome such challenges but usually require larger incision and dissection to allow adequate positioning and bone rigid fixation. In this article, we describe a novel guide design that permits adequate bone repositioning while preserving minimally invasive protocols.

Escolas Sustentáveis

“…Diante deste cenário, se faz necessário uma educação mais comprometida com a sustentabilidade, o que à vista disso, demanda um trabalho coletivo entre todos os atores dessa construção. É primordial estimular condutas e comportamentos que conduzam os alunos a rever e refletir sobre atitudes praticadas, assim como sugerir novas posturas que contribuam com o meio ambiente, bem como observar essa temática de forma integrada (MACÊDO;SILVA, 2022). Ao impactar os alunos por meio da Educação Ambiental (EA), é imprescindível destacar a sua contribuição como atores multiplicadores de informação na Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação Ambiental -FURG v. 40, n. 2, p. 313-332, mai./ago.…”

Facial Aesthetic Laser-Assisted Protocol for the Management of Acne and Pigmentation: A Case Report

“…Facial aesthetic procedures remain one of the most demanded and desired procedures due to their direct impact on the overall perception of beauty [1,2]. Among available treatments in facial aesthetics, minimally invasive techniques are being more and more popular due to their relatively low risk of complications and their quicker recovery time compared to surgical interventions [2][3][4]. In this context, lasers with specific wavelengths and parameters and if applied within a certain protocol can show imposing results on the overall facial treatment [5].…”
