Purpose: Three-dimensional (3D) assessment of orthognathic surgery is often time consuming, relies on manual re-identification of anatomical landmarks or is limited to non-segmental osteotomies. The purpose of the present study was to propose and validate an automated approach for 3D assessment of the accuracy and postoperative outcome of segmental bimaxillary surgery.
Methods: A semi-automatic approach was developed and validated for virtual surgical analysis (VSA) of segmental bimaxillary surgery using a pair of pre- and postoperative (2 weeks) cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) scans. The output of the VSA, the accuracy of the surgical outcome, was calculated as 3D translational and rotational differences between the planned and postoperative movements of the individual bone segments. To evaluate the reliability of the proposed VSA, intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated at a 95% confidence interval on measurements of 2 observers. The VSA was deemed reliable if the ICC was excellent (> 0.80) and the absolute difference of the repeated intra- and inter-observer translational and rotational measurements were significantly lower (p < 0.05) than a hypothesized clinical relevant threshold of 1 voxel (0.45 mm) and 1 degree, respectively.
Results: A total of 10 subjects (6 male; 4 women; mean age 24.4 years) with skeletal class 2 and 3, who underwent segmental bimaxillary surgery, 3-piece Le Fort I, bilateral sagittal split osteotomy and genioplasty, were recruited. The intra- and inter-observer reliability was excellent, ICC range [0.96 - 1.00]. The range of the mean absolute difference of the repeated intra- and inter-observer translational and rotational measurements were [0.07 mm (0.05) - 0.20 mm (0.19)] and [0.11˚ (0.08) - 0.63˚ (0.42)], respectively. This was significantly lower than the hypothesized clinical relevant thresholds (P < .001).
Conclusion: The validation showed that the VSA has excellent reliability for quantitative assessment of the postoperative outcome and accuracy of segmental bimaxillary surgery.

Key Clinical Message: Chin augmentation by hyaluronic acid filler injection rarely causes abnormal bone resorption in the mentum. Thus, when taking the history of a patient with jaw deformity, it is imperative to check the history of treatment of the mentum.
Abstract: Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injection is a common procedure in nonsurgical cosmetic chin augmentation.

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the morphological changes in the mandibular angle area after orthognathic surgery with or without mandibular counterclockwise rotation in Class II deformity patients, and to investigate the associated factors. Computed tomography scans obtained preoperatively (T0), within 1 month postoperatively (T1), and 6 months postoperatively (T2) were collected from 58 patients who underwent either bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (group I), bimaxillary surgery with mandibular counterclockwise rotation (group II), or bimaxillary surgery without mandibular counterclockwise rotation (group III). The intergonial width increased after surgery, by 2.
