Background The zygoma is a major portion of the midfacial contour. When deformity occurs in this area, a reduction should be conducted to correct it. If a sagittal fracture at the temporal root of the zygomatic arch occurs, this also requires reduction, but it is difficult to approach due to its anatomical location, and the possibility of fixation is also limited. Thus, the authors attempted the reduction of sagittal fracture by two- or three-point fixation and the Gillies approach without direct manipulation. The preoperative and postoperative results of the patients were evaluated. Follow-up was performed to establish a treatment guideline. Methods A retrospective study was done with 40 patients who had sagittal fractures at the temporal root of the zygomatic arch from March 2009 to June 2012. Only two- or three-point fixation was performed for the accompanying zygomatic-orbital-maxillary fracture. The Gillies approach was used for complex fractures of the zygomatic arch, while the temporal root of the zygomatic arch was only observed without reduction. Preoperative and postoperative computed tomography and X-ray scans were performed to examine the results. Results The result of the paired t-test on preoperative and postoperative bone gap differences, the depression level, and the degree of temporal protrusion showed a marked decrease in the mean difference at a 95% confidence interval. The results were acceptable. Conclusions In the treatment of sagittal fractures at the temporal root of the zygomatic arch, it is acceptable to use indirect reduction and non-fixation methods. This leads to a satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcome.

Cystic lesions on the jaws with expansion can invade the adjacent anatomical structure, infiltrate and expand the jaws, cause facial deformity, etc. There is great potential for pathologic fractures after cyst enucleation, and damage to the major structures like the nerve, artery. For these reasons, marsupialization and decompression are commonly used to reduce the cystic size. In 1947, Thomas first mentioned decompression that reduces the osmotic pressure in a cyst by making a hole in the cyst and insert a drain. In our cases, a large sized cystic lesion was treated with a specific device made from an orthodontic band and spinal needle. This device is easy and effective for applications and self irrigation.

수술로 인한 상악골 결손 환자는 저작, 발음, 연하의 기능적 손상과 안모 변형으로 인한 어려움을 겪게 된다. 보철 치료의 목적은 폐쇄 장치를 통해 가능한 한 정상적인 기능과 안모를 회복하는 것이다. 이러한 목표는 재건에 대한 보철과 의사와 외과 의사의 술 전 의사소통을 통해 성취할 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 우측 상악동에 편평상피암 진단을 받은 환자에서 수술 전 치과 검진을 통해 보철적 재건에 대한 계획을 수립하였다. 상악골 절제술 4개월 후 수술용 폐쇄장치, 이행 폐쇄장치를 거쳐 최종 폐쇄장치를 제작하였다. 이를 통해 환자는 저작, 발음, 연하, 안모의 만족스러운 개선을 얻었기에 보고하고자 한다.

Cleft lip and palate is the most common congenital facial malformation and has a significant developmental, physical, and psychological impact on those with the deformity and their families. When treating the patients with unilateral cleft lip, many surgeons adopt the rotation advancement flap method originally developed by Millard, or the triangular flap technique developed by Tennison, Randall or the modifications of these techniques. Among these, Millard's rotation advancement flap method has its advantage in designing the flap using the patient's anatomic landmarks. For performing this rotation advancement technique, skillful operation is needed to obtain esthetically satisfactory results. Vomer flap sometimes is used to repair anterior hard palate in complete cleft lip and palate patients. Vomerine tissue is readily available in the vicinity of the palatal defect and elevation of the vomerine flap is relatively simple procedure. In this article, we will introduce the comprehensive vomer flap technique conjunction with primary lip closure and review the comparative studies of the outcome of simultaneous repair of cleft lip and cleft hard palate with Millard's rotation advancement method and vomer flap.

본 증례는 누난 증후군으로 진단 받은 환아에 대한 내용으로, 성장 지연, 작은 키, 좁고 높은 악궁 등의 특징적인 소견을 보였다. 체중은 8.8kg이었으며 신장은 100cm으로 2세 아이들의 성장 양상과 비슷한 수준을 나타내고 있었다. 이소맹출 되고 있는 매복 상악 측절치에 의해 상악 중절치의 맹출이 방해 받고 있었으며, 다수의 치아우식증이 관찰되었다. 이에 상악궁의 심한 총생이 예상되며, 측절치 치배로 인해 영구 상악 중절치 발육에 영향을 줄 것을 고려하여 전신마취 하에 측절치의 발거 및 치아우식증의 치료를 시행하였다. 주기적인 관찰기간 동안 영구 중절치의 발육에 큰 문제가 나타나지 않았으며, 정상적인 성장이 이루어지는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.

Recently the goal of orthognathic surgery has been focused on esthetic improvement of the patients. Also early corrective surgery was favorable selected by most of the oral and maxillofacial surgeons. We should consider the etiologic factor of the patient's dentofacial deformities when treatment is planned, because this is the major factor in estimating the predictability or stability of result. The more researches were carried on the etiologic factors of the dentofacical deformities, The more possibility of the early surgical correction will be increased. The authors analyzed about etiologic factors and epidemiologic studies of the forth patients who had received the orthognathic surgery. The analyzed results were as follows: 1. The predilection ration between male and female was 17:23, and 32 patients (80%) of 40 patients were aged twenties. 2. 26patients(65%) complained estetic problems as well as functional problems. 10 patients(25%) complained only esthetic problems, and 4 of 40 patients complained only functional problems. 3. Mandibular prognathism was found to be done most frequently(25, 39%). Facial asymmetry (13, 20%) and angle hypertrophy were found to be next in sequence. 4. Sagittal split ramus ostetomy was done most frequently(27, 35%). Lefort I osteotomy(13, 17%), angle reduction (12,16%), and genioplasty(11, 15%) were done also. 5. The number of the cases due to nonspecific etiologic factor was 22(55%), that of cases due to inhertied tendency was 12(30%), that of cases due to congenital anomaly was 3(7.5%), and that of cases due to trauma was 3(7.5%). 6. The number of patients who got only maxilliary surgery was 2(5%), that of patients who got only mandibular surgery was 23(57.5%), and that of patients who got simultaneous two jaw surgery was 15(37.5%).

Large oral defects following tumor resection pose formidable challenge for the reconstructive surgeon. Ideally, wound closure should utilize like tissue in providing expedient, single-stage closure, returning maximum function while minimizing deformity. Recent methods have reported and utilize variable mucocutaneous flaps. However, the ideal reconstruction has yet to defined. The small bowel serves as a readily available donor site for satisfying reconstructive needs in oropharyngeoesophageal defects. Segments of jejunum may be opened along the antimesenteric border and transferred to oral defect as free tissue transfers. Some of the benefits of this technique have included a one-stage procedure, abundant donor tissue with characteristics similar to oral mucosa, near normal facial appearance, preservation of maximum tongue function and relief of annoying xerostomia by jejunal mucous secretion. Three cases re presented in which two cases show successful use of this flap. The other one patient developed total necrosis of this flap. We report cases of reconstruction using free jejunal flap transfer in oral reconstruction.

하악골에서 고분화 골육종은 매우 드물게 보고되고 있으며 조직검사상 전형적인 골육종과는 달리 다형성(pleomorphism)을 보이지 않기 때문에 양성종양으로 오진(under-diagnosis) 되기 쉽다. 그러나 정확한 환자의 진단은 적절한 치료와 환자의 예후에 영향을 큰 영향을 미친다. 그러므로 조기에 정확한 진단을 위하여는 의심되는 여러 부위에서 조직검사를 시행하고 임상소견과 방사선소견 등을 병리의사와 공유하여야 한다. 이에 초기에 진단이 어려웠던 하악골에 발생된 고분화 골육종을 경험하여 환자의 사회적 기능적 회복을 위한 수술을 시행하여 바람직한 결과를 얻었기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
