Distraction osteogenesis(DO) is a surgical method of bone formation that involves an osteotomy and sequential stretching of the healing callus by gradual movement and subsequent remodeling. DO is used to correct facial asymmetry, such as in patients with hemifacial microsomia, maxillary or mandibular retrusion, cleft lip and palate, alveolar defects, and craniofacial deficiency. It is accomplished with the aid of a distraction device, which is secured with screws placed directly into bone, for a predetermined length of time. Hemifacial microsomia is characterized by unilateral facial hypoplasia, often with unilateral shortening of the mandible and subsequent malocclusion. Patients with hemifacial microsomia and facial asymmetry have a vertically short maxilla, tilted occlusal plane, and short mandible. Early treatment is necessary to avoid subsequent impaired midfacial growth. The standard treatment of these malformations consists of the application of bone grafts, which can lead to unpredictable growth. The new bone-lengthening procedure represents a limited surgical intervention and opens up a new perspective for treatment, especially in younger children with severe deformities. This report describes a case of hemifacial microsomia(Type-II left-sided hemifacial microsomia). The patient, a 10-year-old child, visited our clinic for facial asymmetry correction. He had a hypoplastic mandible, displaced ear lobe, 10 mm canting on the right side, and malocclusion. We planned DO to lengthen the left mandible in conjunction with a Le Fort I osteotomy for decanting and then perform a right intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy(IVRO). Progressive distraction at a rate of 0.5 mm/12 hours was initiated 7 days postoperatively. The duration of DO was 17 days. The consolidation period was 3 months. Satisfactory results were obtained in our case, indicating that DO can be used successfully for functional, aesthetic reconstruction of the mandible. We report a case involving DO in conjunction with orthognathic surgery for correcting mandibular hypoplasia with a review of the literature.

A 19-year-old woman presented to our dental clinic with anterior crossbite and mandibular prognathism. She had a concave profile, long face, and Angle Class III molar relationship. She showed disharmony in the crowding of the maxillomandibular dentition and midline deviation. The diagnosis and treatment plan were established by a three-dimensional (3D) virtual setup and 3D surgical simulation, and a surgical wafer was produced using the stereolithography technique. No presurgical orthodontic treatment was performed. Using the surgery-first approach, Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy and mandibular bilateral intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy setback were carried out. Treatment was completed with postorthodontic treatment. Thus, symmetrical and balanced facial soft tissue and facial form as well as stabilized and well-balanced occlusion were achieved.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the amount and interrelationship of the soft and hard tissue changes after simultaneous maxillary clockwise rotation and mandibular setback surgery in skeletal class III malocclusion. The sample comprised of 16 adult patients who had anteroposterior skeletal discrepancy. These patients had received presurgical orthodontic treatment and surgical treatment which consisted of Le fort I Osteotomy and bilateral saggital split ramus osteotomy. The presurgical (T1) and postsurgical (T2) lateral cephalograms were evaluated. The computerized statistical analysis was carried out with SPSS/PC program. The results demonstrated a decrease in the vertical dimension in the soft and hard tissue. The nasolabial angle was increased and the mentolabial angle was decreased. The results showed also many statistically significant correlations(p<0.05). The lower lip closely followed the skeletal movement of the B- point in the horizontal plane. The double jaw rotation surgery can afford a good solution to solve the problems of class III malocclusion cases.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of maxillary occlusal plane angle to postoperative skeletal stability by comparative analysis after two-jaw surgery of patients with skeletal CIII malocclusion. This study was made with lateral cephalometric radiography of 52 patients with skeletal class III malocclusion that were performed to Le Fort I osteotomy and BSSRO. And 52 patients were divided to Group A(n=30) and B(n=22). Maxillary posterior impaction was not conducted in Group A, which the pre-operative maxillary occlusal plane angle was in a normal range, and for Group B, which the pre-operative maxillary occlusal plane was low, the maxillary posterior impaction was conducted. The results were obtained as follows : 1. The relapse rate of Group A, which the pre-operative maxillary occlusal plane angle was in a normal range, was relatively stable compared to Group B, which the pre-operative maxillary occlusal plane was low. 2. The relapse rate of each measurement of Group B, which had the maxillary occlusal plane altered during the operation, was somewhat high, and of those, the post-operative relapse rate of overjet, overbite, mandibular plane angle appeared to be significantly high in the statistics. The analyzed results above, was thought to be indicating that the pre-operative maxillary occlusal plane angle was closely related to the post-operative skeletal stability, and that obtaining post-operative skeletal stability only through operative normalization of occlusal plane angle may meet limitations.

Purpose: Reposition of the maxilla is a common technique for correction of midfacial deformities. To achieve the goal of the surgery, the maxilla should be repositioned based on the precisely planned position during surgery. The internal reference points (IRPs) and the external reference points (ERPs) are usually used to determine vertical dimension of maxilla, which is an important factor for confirming maxillary position. However, the IRPs are known to be inaccurate in determining the vertical dimension. In this study, we investigated the correlation of positional change of the modified IRPs with repositioned maxilla. Methods: The study group consisted of 26 patients with dentofacial deformities. For the simulation of the surgery, patient maxillary CT data and 3-D virtual surgery programs (V-$Works^{(R)}$ and V-$Surgery^{(R)}$) were used. IRPs of this study were set on both the lateral wall of piriform aperture, inferior margin of both infraorbital foramen, and the labial surfaces of the canine and first molar. The distance from the point on lateral wall of the piriform aperture to the point on the buccal surface of the canine was defined as IRP-C, and the distance from the point on the inferior margin of the infraorbital foramen to the point on the buccal surface of the $1^{st}$ molar was defined as IRP-M. After the virtual simulation of Le Fort I osteotomy, the changes in IRP-C and IRP-M were compared with the maxillary movement. All measures were analyzed statistically. Results: With respect to vertical movements, the IRP-C (approximately 98%) and the IRP-M (approximately 96%) represented the movement of the canine and the $1^{st}$ molar. Regarding rotating movement, the IRPs changed according to the movement of the canine and the $1^{st}$ molar. In particular, the IRP-C was changed in accordance with the canine. Conclusion: IRPs could be good indicators for predicting vertical movements of the maxilla during surgery.

하악골의 발육이상과 더불어 상악골의 수평적 및 수직적 발육이상이 동반되어 있는 대부분의 악안면 기형 환자에서 상하악골을 동시에 재위치시키는 "상하악골 동시 이동 수술"은 현재 악교정 수술에서 보편화되어 있는 술식으므로, 이 경우 수술중에 일차로 상악골의 정확한 위치를 얻는 것이 매우 중요하다. Le Fort I 수평골절단술을 이용한 상악골의 재위치시 위치 이동의 정확성을 기하기 위하여 고전적으로 사용되어온 계측방법인 내부계측법(Intrnal measuring technique)은 최근에 이르러 계측상의 삼차원적 오차에 따른 정확도에 많은 의문이 제기되어 왔으며, 따라서 이를 보완하기 위하여 1985년 Johnson 이 처음으로 외부계측법(External measuring technique)을 소개한 이후로, Van Sickels 등의 여러 학자들에 의하여 그 사용의 유용성 및 정확성이 입증되어 왔다. 이에 저자등은 최근 2년간 본 교실에서 경험상 상${\cdot}$하악골동시이동 악교정수술환자중, 외부계측법에만 의존하여 상악골 이동량을 술중 계측했던 17명의 환자에서 수술전 이동계측량과 수술후 이동된 결과를 Lateral cephalometics상에서 전치부와 구치부의 수직 및 수평적 이동 오차 관계로, P-A cephalogram 상에서 수평적 이동 및 상악치열의 중심선 변위에 대한 이동 오차 관계로 분석하여 외부계측법에 의한 수술적 이동의 정확도를 평가하므로써 향후 이 방법의 사용에 대한 신뢰성을 보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 연구 결과로써, 상악골의 수직 및 수평적 이동시 외부계측법 만을 이용한 경우, 수술전 이동량에 비해 비교적 신뢰성 있게 상악골을 원하는 위치로 이동시킬 수 있는 것으로 사료되나, 대체적으로 전하방 및 우측으로 위치되기 쉬운 경향을 보여주었으며, 정면상의 수평기울기(transverse plane)에 대한 편차는 수술자에 의해 크게 영향을 받지 않았으나 상악치열의 중심위는 수술자에 의해 영향을 받은것 같다.

Cleft lip and palate patients show midface hypoplasia, maxillary hypoplasia due to scar of previous surgery, and manifest as a class III malocclusion, retruded midface and shallow palate. These deformities have been treated with traditional orthognathic surgery. Although conventional Le Fort I osteotomy was performed on most cleft patinets with midface hypoplasia, it showed limited amount of maxillary advancement and high relapse tendency. Recently, when great amount of advancement are required in severe maxillary hypoplasia, distraction osteogenesis using RED system is widely used. But, several months of consolidation period is needed after distraction osteogenesis, occlusal relationship is not stable until mandibular setback surgery has done in mandibular hyperplasia cases and during these period, patients may feel discomfort. We present clinical cases of immediate rigid internal fixation after completion of maxillary distraction using RED system and simultaneous mandibular setback procedure in adult cleft and lip patients who show both maxillary hypoplasia and mandibular prognathism.
