Background: Numerous surgical options for correcting prominent mandibular angles in East Asian patients have been reported. The objective of this study was to investigate the importance of remodeling physiological mandibular angle by comparing the surgical effects and complications of mandibular V-line ostectomy and long curved ostectomy.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent either mandibular V-line ostectomy (group 1) or long curved ostectomy (group 2).

The aims of this study were to analyze the morphological changes of the mandibular angle after orthognathic surgery for mandibular setback and investigate related factors. This retrospective study included patients from January 2017 to December 2021 diagnosed with skeletal class III deformity who underwent BSSRO (Group I) or bimaxillary surgery (Group II). Preoperative (T0), within 1 month postoperatively (T1), and 6 months postoperatively (T2) CT scans were collected from 61 patients to three-dimensionally analyze the proximal segment displacement, the linear and angular changes of the mandibular angle.

Article Synopsis
  • This study examines the effects of L-shaped reduction malarplasty, a common facial contouring surgery in East Asians, by analyzing how bone changes impact zygomatic shape using CT images.
  • It involved 80 patients and categorized them into two groups: those undergoing bone resection and those without, measuring the relationship between bone adjustments and changes in zygomatic width and protrusion.
  • Results showed a significant correlation between bone changes and alterations in the anterior and middle zygomatic regions but not in the posterior area, suggesting that these findings can help guide preoperative planning.
