Cephalometric Analysis of Modifications of the Mandible Due to Reduction Mandibuloplasty in Patients With Prominent Mandibular Angle

Abstract: Cephalometry has been used to measure hard and soft facial tissues as well as to conduct the ostectomy to determine the characteristics of the prominent mandibular angles (PMA). The changes produced on the mandibles by reduction mandibuloplasty are not known. The objective of the present study was to identify by cephalometric analysis the anatomical changes of the mandibles that occur in patients with PMA after reduction mandibuloplasty. Forty-two patients with PMA were submitted to cephalometric analysis befo… Show more

“…As a result, our measurements are limited by both photographic medium and soft tissue draping over the underlying bony skeleton, which may not accurately reflect underlying mandibular changes from bone regeneration or reduction following osteotomy. 9 Although we did not find a significant difference in facial measurements between surgical and nonsurgical patients, laypeople still rated greater improvements in aesthetic outcomes for surgical over nonsurgical patients. This indicates that the perception of attractiveness is subjective, multifactorial, and may be associated with but is not limited to cephalometric measurements.…”

“…Moreover, measurements were taken based on photographs rather than bony landmarks from radiographs. As a result, our measurements are limited by both photographic medium and soft tissue draping over the underlying bony skeleton, which may not accurately reflect underlying mandibular changes from bone regeneration or reduction following osteotomy 9 .

“…1 One of the most effective procedures for facial contouring is mandibular angle osteotomy (MAO). 2,3 Currently, the most frequently adopted approach for MAO is via intraoral incisions. 4 However, the main obstacle against a satisfactory procedure is the limited field of view and lack of operational space that can lead to an undesirable contour or severe complications, including life-threatening bleeding and sensory impairment.…”

“…Over the past few decades, mandibular angle osteotomy with outer cortex grinding has become the preferred cosmetic procedure for improving the appearance of the lower third of the facial contour in both women and men. Although several studies have confirmed that the long-term effect of this procedure is stable, [1][2][3] some patients still seek revision surgery due to bone irregularity at the inferior border of the mandible or secondary angulation of the mandibular angle after surgery. 4,5 However, the postoperative mandibular body morphology rarely changes, and bone regeneration mainly occurs in the angle region.…”
