Objective: The purpose of this study was to provide an anatomical reference for cortical bone and soft tissue thickness, and the attached gingiva width in the mandible. Methods: Fifteen males and fifteen females participated in this study. An acrylic template was fabricated and the radiopaque markers were bonded on the estimated alveolar crest to take measurements of the hard and soft tissue thickness at the same locations. CT images were taken in samples wearing an acrylic template. Cortical bone and soft tissue thickness were measured at 2, 4, 6 and 8 mm from the alveolar crest in interradicular spaces from central incisor to first permanent molar. The attached gingival width was calibrated. Results: Cortical bone thickness was $1.33{\pm}0.38mm$ and soft tissue thickness was $1.49{\pm}0.54mm$. Cortical bone thickness was increased in the posterior area, while it was not the case for the soft tissue thickness. In addition, the total thickness was $2.82{\pm}0.70$. The attached gingival width was wider in the anterior area compared to that in posterior area. Conclusion: These results suggest that the attached gingiva width should be considered upon placement of mini-implants in the mandibular posterior area for orthodontic anchorage.
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate changes of the soft tissue relative to underlying skeletal elements during orthodontic treatment, and the influence of orthodontic treatment quantitatively on various regions of the facial profile. 59 Korean young women were selected, whose Hellman dental age was IV A, IV C and V A. Lateral cephalometric head films were taken before and after orthodontic treatment. From tracings, landmarks on skeletal and soft tissue profile were located, and then their linear and angular measurements were made directly. The results were obtained as follow: 1) Soft tissues of the facial profile were closely related and dependent on the underlying dentoskeletal frameworks. Orthodontic treament resulted in the reduction of dentofacial protrusion with both upper and lower lips becoming less procumbent during treament. 2) Thickness of the upper lip increased considerably during orthodontic treatment, and this change was related to maxillary incisor retraction. The ratio between the amount of maxillary incisor retraction and that of increment of upper lip thickness was approximately 5:3. 3) Soft tissue thickness overlying Downs' point A, point B and pogonion was not modified by orthodontic treatment. 4) Holdaway's H line, relating facial profile to the underlying dentoskeletal framework, seemed to be the most practical approach to soft tissue analysis.
The purpose of the study is to estimate hard and soft tissue changes after orthognathic surgery for the correction of the mandibular prognathism and to describe interrelationship and ratios of soft and hard tissue changes. The presurgical and postsurgical lateral cephalograms of 31 treated patients(17 males and 14 females) was used ; these patients had received combined orthodontic-surgical treatment by means of a bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy. Their ages ranged from 16 to 31 years and mean age was 21.4 years. A computerized cephalometric appraisal was developed and used to analyse linear and angular changes of skeletal and soft tissue profile. The statistical elaboration of the data was made by means of $SPSS/PC^+$. The results of the study were as follows : 1. The correlations of soft and hard tissue horizontal changes were significantly high and the ratios were $97\%$ at LI, $107\%$ at ILS, and $93\%$ at Pog'. 2. The correlations of vertical changes at Stm, LI and horizontal changes at Pog were high$(26\%)$ and at the other areas were not statistically high. 3. The correlations of soft ad hard tissue vertical changes were not significantly high in all areas except Gn' $(30\%)$ and Me' $(56\%)$. 4. The soft tissue thickness was significantly decreased in upper lip and increased in lower lip, and the amount of changes after surgery was reversely correlated with initial thickness. 5. The facial convexity was increased and relative protrusion of upper lip was increased and that of lower lip was decreased. 6. The upper to lower facial height(Gl-Sn/Sn-Me') was increased and upper to lower jaw height(Sn-Stms/Stmi-Me') was increased.

Objective: The purposes of this study were to measure the palatal soft tissue thickness at popular placement sites of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and evaluate the age, gender, and positional differences in this parameter. Methods: The study sample consisted of 23 children (10 boys and 13 girls; mean age, $10.87{\pm}1.24$ years; range, 6.7 to 12.6 years) and 27 adults (14 men and 13 women; mean age, $21.35{\pm}1.14$ years; range, 20.0 to 23.8 years). Nine mediolateral and nine anteroposterior intersecting reference lines were drawn on CBCT scans of the 50 subjects, and the resultant measurement areas were designated according to their mediolateral (i.e., lateral, medial, and sutural) and anteroposterior (i.e., anterior, middle, and posterior) positions. Repeated-measures analysis of variance was performed to analyze intragroup and intergroup differences. Results: No significant age and gender differences were found (p = 0.309 and 0.124, respectively). Further, no significant anteroposterior change was observed (p = 0.350). However, the lateral area presented the thickest soft tissue whereas the sutural area had the thinnest soft tissue (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Clinical selection of the placement sites of TADs should be guided by knowledge of the positional variations in the palatal soft tissue thickness in addition to other contributing factors of TAD stability.
Facial balance is the primary detevminant of good facial esthetics and is expressed externally by the shape of facial soft tissues. Balance of the facial skeleton is most important in prediction of orthognathic surgery, however, it is not alwags coincided to soft tissue balance because the soft tissue drapes overlying hard tissue varies in thickness and tones from case to case. So, soft tissue facial balance and esthetics also should always be considered in prediction of hard tissue changes preoperatively. The chin has a paramount importance in the overall appearance of the face and facial profile because it may express individual charactor or image. Therefore positional change of the chin must be considered in any cases as the last and important option to give an overall soft tissue balance. Two cases were referred from orthodontists only for anterior segmental of teortomuy of the chin. Pre-operative evaluation showed poor soft tissue chin profiles which were not coincided to hard tissue chin balance. We altered surgical plans to fulfill balancing soft tissue profile and then could improve overall esthetics after surgery.

This study was made on the facial profile of the normal Korean children using the roentgenographic cephalograms. The subjects consisted 51 males and 47 females children of primary dentition with the normal occlusion and acceptable profile. For this study 13 soft tissue profile landmarks were plotted and 14 liner length, 9 soft tissue thickness, 8 vertical height length, 12 angles of soft tissue profile, and 2 vertical proportion were measured. The mean and standard deviations in the subjects were calculated and compared between male and female. The following results were obtained : 1. By the significant test, total facial convexity angle and soft tissue thickness were no significant difference between both sexes. 2. Lower facial height was greater than upper facial height in both sexes. 3. The vertical length of the upper and lower lips were 21.95 mm, 40.74 mm in male and 21.62 mm, 39.63 mm in female. 4. In the relationship of the upper lip and lower lip to the Ricketts' esthetic line, the male was 1.3 mm, 1.18 mm and the female was 1.16 mm, 1.27 mm front of the esthetic line. 5. Compared with the angulation of flush terminal plane group and mesial step group, the mesial step group was greater than the flush terminal plane group except the chin angle.
Purpose: Split-or full-thickness skin grafts are used to reconstruct palmar skin and soft tissue defects after trauma or to release burn scar contracture on the hand. Glabrous skin defects should be substituted with similar skin to preserve function and aesthetics. The authors report their experiences with a technique that uses a full-thickness graft taken from glabrous skin on the ulnar edge of the palm for the reconstruction of soft tissue defects of the hand. Methods: During a three-year period from 2007 to 2010, 22 patients with burn scar contracture and 12 patients with post-traumatic skin defects on their hands were treated with full-thickness skin graft operations. The palmar skin and soft tissue defects after release of burn scar contracture or debridement of post-traumatic wounds were reconstructed with full-thickness skin grafts harvested from the ulnar border of their palms. All donor-site wounds were primarily closed. Results: The followup periods ranged from 3 to 25 months. Contractures of the hand were corrected without recurrence, and the grafts showed relatively good contour and color match to the adjacent fields. There were no reported complications such as significant color change or hypertrophic scarring. The grafted skin showed an average 5.9 mm static two-point discrimination obtained in fingertip reconstruction cases, indicating satisfactory reinnervation. Conclusion: Glabrous full-thickness grafts harvested from the palmar ulnar border is a very useful way of reconstructing soft tissue defects on hands, including fingertips, for function restoration, favorable aesthetic results, and low donor-site morbidity.

Purpose: This study was conducted to assess the effect of hard and/or soft tissue grafting on immediate implants in a preclinical model. Methods: In 5 mongrel dogs, the distal roots of P2 and P3 were extracted from the maxilla (4 sites in each animal), and immediate implant placement was performed. Each site was randomly assigned to 1 of the following 4 groups: i) gap filling with guided bone regeneration (the GBR group), ii) subepithelial connective tissue grafting (the SCTG group), iii) GBR and SCTG (the GBR/SCTG group), and iv) no further treatment (control). Non-submerged healing was provided for 4 months. Histological and histomorphometric analyses were performed. Results: Peri-implant tissue height and thickness favored the SCTG group (height of periimplant mucosa: 1.14 mm; tissue thickness at the implant shoulder and ±1 mm from the shoulder: 1.14 mm, 0.78 mm, and 1.57 mm, respectively; median value) over the other groups. Bone grafting was not effective at the level of the implant shoulder and on the coronal level of the shoulder. In addition, simultaneous soft and hard tissue augmentation (the GBR/SCTG group) led to a less favorable tissue contour compared to GBR or SCTG alone (height of periimplant mucosa: 3.06 mm; thickness of peri-implant mucosa at the implant shoulder and ±1 mm from the shoulder: 0.72 mm, 0.3 mm, and 1.09 mm, respectively). Conclusion: SCTG tended to have positive effects on the thickness and height of the periimplant mucosa in immediate implant placement. However, simultaneous soft and hard tissue augmentation might not allow a satisfactory tissue contour in cases where the relationship between implant position and neighboring bone housing is unfavorable.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of heritability on the craniofacial soft tissue cephalometric characteristics of monozygotic (MZ) twins, dizygotic (DZ) twins, and their siblings (SIB). Methods: The samples comprised Korean adult twins and their siblings (mean age, 39.8 years; MZ group, n = 36 pairs; DZ group, n = 13 pairs of the same gender; and SIB group, n = 26 pairs of the same gender). Thirty cephalometric variables were measured to characterize facial profile, facial height, soft-tissue thickness, and projection of nose and lip. Falconer's method was used to calculate heritability (low heritability, $h^2$ < 0.2; high heritability, $h^2$ > 0.9). After principal components analysis (PCA) was performed to extract the models, we calculated the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value and heritability of each component. Results: The MZ group exhibited higher ICC values for all cephalometric variables than DZ and SIB groups. Among cephalometric variables, the highest ${h^2}_{(MZ-DZ)}$ and ${h^2}_{(MZ-SIB)}$ values were observed for the nasolabial angle (NLA, 1.544 and 2.036), chin angle (1.342 and 1.112), soft tissue chin thickness (2.872 and 1.226), and upper lip thickness ratio (1.592 and 1.026). PCA derived eight components with 84.5% of a cumulative explanation. The components that exhibited higher values of ${h^2}_{(MZ-DZ)}$ and ${h^2}_{(MZ-SIB)}$ were PCA2, which includes facial convexity, NLA, and nose projection (1.026 and 0.972), and PCA7, which includes chin angle and soft tissue chin thickness (2.107 and 1.169). Conclusions: The nose and soft tissue chin were more influenced by genetic factors than other soft tissues.
The soft tissue covering of the face plays an important role in facial esthetics, speech and other physiologic functions. Thus, it is recognised by all clinical orthodontists that success of orthodontic treatment is closely related to the changes in soft tissues of the face. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes of bony and soft tissues in prepost treatment of Angle's Class III malocclusion. The sample consisted of 18 males and 37 females, pretreatment age of 9 years to 11 years. For this study 11 landmarks were plotted, 14 linear length, 4 soft tissue thickness and 2 angles were measured. The obtained results were as follows; 1. In the linear measurements of bony and soft tissue changes, A, Is, Ss, Ls and Li were located more anteriorly in both sexes. However Si and B showed more remarkable anterior movement in female. 2. In the comparison of the changes of the soft tissue thickness, Ss and Li in male subjects and Ss in female subjects increased. 3. In the degree of correlation between changes in the soft tissue profile and changes in the skeletal profile, Is: Ls, Il: Li and B: Si in both sexes had significant correlations. However A:Ss had remarkable significant correlation in female. 4. There were significant correlations between change in ${\angle}A$ and change in ${\angle}B$ in all sexes. 5. There were little correlation between changes in distance difference of Is and Ii and Change in distance difference of Ls and Li in all sexes.
