The Art of Genioplasty: An Insight
نویسندگان
چکیده
Approximately 20% of the population is affected by dentofacial deformities which may demonstrate myriad degrees of functional and aesthetic compromise. Moderate to severe occlusal discrepancies most often require combined orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery to attain the most stable results with optimal function and aesthetic outcomes. Orthognathic surgery is said to be the art and science of diagnosis, treatment planning and execution of treatment by combining orthodontic and oral and maxillofacial surgery to correct dentoosseous, musculoskeletal and soft tissue defects of maxilla and mandible, and the structures associated to them. Among the various orthognathic surgical procedures, genioplasty is one of the most widely performed surgical procedures used for correcting chin deformities. The term genioplasty is used to describe miscellaneous facial profile concerns starting from orthognathic surgery in conjunction to a facial symmetrical balancing procedure assisting with soft tissue contours and chin enhancement for those undergoing elective facial surgery.

Ectopic Ciliated Cyst in the Mandible Secondary to Genioplasty and Lefort after Two Years: A Case Report and Literature Review
Introduction: The ectopic ciliated cyst is a rare non-odontogenic cyst which occurs as a delayed complication after maxillary sinus radical surgery; this lesion emerges due to the destruction of the sinus mucosa during the surgery and entrapment of the respiratoryepitheliumin the region. This lesion has been observed in very rare cases following genioplasty and bimaxillary orthognathic surgery....
متن کاملGenioplasty using a simple CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) surgical guide
BACKGROUND The present study introduces the design and fabrication of a simple surgical guide with which to perform genioplasty. METHODS A three-dimensional reconstruction of the patient's cranio-maxilla region was built, with a dentofacial skeletal model, then derived from CT DICOM data. A surgical simulation was performed on the maxilla and mandible, using three-dimensional cephalometry. We...
متن کاملThe role of genioplasty in the management of craniofacial deformities
The function of a genioplasty is to produce an aesthetically pleasing chin contour and improve facial proportions. The aim of this study was to review the role of osseous genioplasty in the management of patients with craniofacial deformities. 52 patients (24 males and 28 females) treated at the Australian Craniofacial Unit in Adelaide, Australia over a 25-year period; who required a genioplast...
متن کاملOsseous genioplasty with the use of a “Foundation Screw”
Introduction: Osseous genioplasty is a versatile procedure which can predictably influence the profile, vertical length and esthetics of the chin. It can be performed as an isolated procedure or in conjunction with orthognathic surgery. With recent advances in imaging technology, three-dimensional computer assisted surgical simulation with images obtained from cone beam computed tomography are ...
