Fibrous dysplasia is a benign pathologic condition of bone which medullary bone is replaced and disturbed by poorly organized, structually unsound fibro-osseous tissue. When facial bones are involved, considerable esthetic deformity may result. The term monostotic fibrous dysplasia has been applied when one bone is involved : when more than one bone is affected, the term polyostotic used. The polyostotic form may be accomplished by pigmented skin lesion (Jaffe type), or by pigmented skin lesions with endocrine disturbance (Albright syndrome). No general agreement exists on the cause of fibrous dysplasia. A few authors have suggested that fibrous dysplasia as a result of trauma. It occurs predominantly in infant, adolescent females and runs a variable clinical coures. When several bones are involved, it tends to be unilateral. Involvements of alveolar bone may produce displacement of teeth with malocclusion, or loss of teeth, or both. Now, we will present a case of fibrous dysplasia on the left facial region treated by conservative contouring surgery.

Fibrous dysplasia(FD) of the bone is a slowly progressive, benign disease of unknown cause where normal architectures are replaced with fibrous and osteoid tissue. FD of the maxilla usually manifests as a bony enlargement with painless swelling and bone deformity, contouring to facial asymmetry. The lesion may involve the nasal fossae, orbits, or alveolus bone, causing diverse functional disturbance. Treatment options range from shaving to total maxillectomy and reconstruction depending on the presenting symptoms. Shaving, partial maxillectomy and maxillary sinus formation was performed in 5 patients with fibrous dysplasia in the past 2 years. Follow up period ranged from 1 month to 11 months. Aesthetic appearance, CT findings, and relief from symptoms were compared. In all patients, facial asymmetry was restored to symmetry and nasal obstructive symptoms were improved. With this procedure, expansion of the lesion will be controlled until puberty, preventing the development of new functional disturbances. After puberty, no further treatment can be anticipated due to the growth arrest inherent to the disease.

Since the first report of a nasal septal abscess (NSA) from a dental origin (1920), six articles have been published in the English literature to date. The most common cause of NSA is an infection of the nasal septal hematoma after trauma. This is a report of an uncommon cause of NSA with a dental origin. A PubMed search performed regardless of year and country using the terms ("nasal septal abscess") OR ("nasal septum abscess") initially yielded 229 articles. After screening, seven articles (eight patients) were selected. Addition of two related articles produced a total of nine articles (10 patients) to be included. The age of the included patients ranged from 7 to 69 years (mean, 32.82 years; standard deviation, ±23.86 years). The sex composition was as followed: males (n=7; 63.6%), females (n=4; 36.4%). Dental histories were various: periapical lesions, caries, extraction, endodontic therapy, and cystic lesions. The maxillary incisor dominated as the tooth of origin. Early diagnosis and treatment of NSAs are important to avoid not only facial deformity, but also severe complications (e.g., intracranial infection). If NSA is suspected in patients without facial trauma, the possibility of a dental origin, especially from the maxillary incisor area, should be considered.

본 연구는 한국인 정상교합자와 부정교합자 사이의 교합력의 크기와 교합 시의 접촉 면적의 차이 및 골격 형태와 교합 관계, 연령, 성별이 교합력의 크기에 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위해 시행되었다. 정상교합자 15명, 부정교합자 636명에서 일회용 pressure sensitive sheet (Dental $Prescale^{(R)}$ 50H, typeR, Fuji Film Corp., Tokyo, Japan)를 자연 두부위에서 최대 근력으로 교합하도록 한 후, CCD camera ($Occluzer^{(R)}$ FPD 707, Fuji Film Corp., Tokyo, Japan)로 판독하여 교합력의 크기 및 접촉 면적을 측정하였다. 정상교합자군의 교합력의 크기는 $744.5{\pm}262.6N$, 접촉면적은 $24.2{\pm}8.2mm^2$으로, 부정교합자군의 $439.0{\pm}229.9N$, $12.4{\pm}10.7mm^2$에 비해 교합력의 크기와 접촉 면적이 유의하게 컸다 ($p$ < 0.05). 부정교합자군의 경우 연령에 따른 교합력의 차이는 없었으나, 남자가 여자에 비해 큰 교합력을 가지고 있었다 ($p$ < 0.05). 악안면의 전후방적인 골격 형태를 나타내는 ANB 및 골격성 1급 부정교합에서의 구치부의 Angle 분류는 교합력에 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, 수직적인 골격 형태를 구분하는 mandibular plane angle, gonial angle이 큰 경우, 교합력이 유의하게 작았다 ($p$ < 0.05). 하지만, 교합력의 크기와 접촉 면적간에는 높은 상관관계가 존재하는 점과 접촉 면적을 통제한 상태에서의 골격 형태와 교합력의 크기 사이에는 유의할 만한 상관관계가 없는 점을 고려한다면 수직적인 골격 형태가 직접적으로 교합력에 영향을 주기보다는 수직적인 골격 형태에 따른 접촉 면적의 감소가 교합력 저하에 관여한다고 판단된다.

Background The septal cartilage is the most useful donor site for autologous cartilage graft material in rhinoplasty. For successful nasal surgery, it is necessary to understand the developmental process of the nasal septum and to predict the amount of harvestable septal cartilage before surgery. Methods One hundred twenty-three Korean patients who underwent three-dimensional (3D) facial bone computed tomography (CT) were selected for evaluation of the midsagittal view of the nasal septum. Multiple parameters such as the area of each component of the nasal septum and the amount of harvestable septal cartilage were measured using Digimizer software. Results The area of the total nasal septum showed rapid growth until the teenage years, but thereafter no significant change throughout the lifetime. However, the development of the septal cartilage showed a gradual decline due to ossification changes with aging after puberty in spite of a lack of change in the total septal area. The area of harvestable septal cartilage in young adults was $549.84{\pm}151.26mm^2$ and decreased thereafter with age. Conclusions A 3D facial bone CT scan can provide valuable information on the septal cartilage graft before rhinoplasty. Considering the developmental process of the septal cartilage identified in this study, septal surgery should not be performed until puberty due to the risk of nasal growth impairment. Furthermore, in elderly patients who show a decreased cartilage area due to ossification changes, septal cartilage harvesting should be performed carefully due to the risk of saddle nose deformity.

Background: Posttraumatic acquired facial deformities require surgical treatment, with options including scar revision, fat grafts, implant insertion, and flap coverage. However, each technique has specific advantages and disadvantages. Methods: From 2016 to 2018, 13 patients (eight with scar contracture and five with a depressed scar) were treated using dermofat grafts from the groin. The harvested dermofat was then inserted into the undermined dead space after the contracture was released, and a bolster suture was done for fixation considering the patient's contour and asymmetry. A modified version of the Vancouver Scar Scale and satisfaction survey were used to compare deformity improvements before and after surgery. Results: In most cases, effective volume correction and an aesthetically satisfactory contour were maintained well after dermofat grafting, without any major complications. In some cases, however, lipolysis proceeded rapidly when inflammation and infection were not completely eliminated. A significant difference was found in the modified Vancouver Scar Scale before and after surgery, with a p-value of 0.001. The average score on the satisfaction survey was 17.07 out of 20 points. Conclusion: A dermofat graft with the groin as the donor site can be considered as an effective surgical option that is the simplest and most cost-effective method for the treatment of acquired facial deformities with scar contracture.

Purpose: Absorbable plate and screw fixation is widely used technique for internal rigid fixation in craniomaxillofacial surgery. However, there are some potential problems associated with the use of plate. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of bone fixation in facial fracture using absorbable mesh in place of absorbable plate. Methods: The records of 55 patients with zygomaticomaxilla fractures treated by open reduction, performed by the author from February 2008 to May 2009, were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were selected to receive absorbable mesh fixation. The incidence of all complications including infection, hypoesthesia, and deformity was examined. Analysis with postoperative computed tomography follow-up demonstrates degree of reduction. Results: Forty-six patients met criteria for inclusion in the study. All patients went on to satisfactory healing without complication. Postoperative computed tomography revealed good bony alignment similarly non affected side. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the rigid internal fixation of fractured bone fragments using absorbable mesh is more effective than absorbable plate, especially in comminuted fracture of maxilla.

안면비대칭의 주원인은 하악골이며, 하악골의 비대칭 성장에 대한 상악골의 보상성장에 따라 교합면 경사 등이 초래된다. 디지털 사진과 삼차원 CT 등 다양한 방법으로 정확한 진단을 하고 수술을 포함한 치료계획을 세운다. 술전 교정 치료는 상악골과 하악골 치열의 치성 보상(dental compensation)을 제거하면서 상악 치열의 중심은 상악골의 정중선에, 하악 치열의 중심은 하악골 정중선에 맞게 이동하여 술후 상하악 치열궁이 일치하면서 동시에 안모 정중선에 일치하게 맞추어야 한다. 악교정 수술은 일반적으로 상하악 동시 수술을 하게 되며 우각부 풍융도 교정과 이부 성형술(genioplasty) 등을 부가적으로 할 수 있으며, 교합면 경사 교정과 수평 회전 등의 이동이 상하악 위치에 서로 영향을 주면서 수술 후 안모 변화에 대한 예측을 어렵게 만들기 때문에, 다양한 분석을 통해 정확한 예측으로 최선의 결과를 얻는 것이 가장 중요하다.
