  • Purpose The prominent mandible angle, otherwise known as "square face", has been recognized as an aesthetic problem that needs correction by many in the Asian community. Many surgeons considered that mandible angle ostectomy alone, brings about hypotrophy of the masseter muscle. However, it was only proven indirectly (by clinical experience and histological animal experiments) and not objectively. In this study, we evaluated the volume of masseter muscle to prove the effect, objectively. Materials and method Computed tomography (CT) images were used to measure the masseter muscle volume of normal female group (n=6), and of female patient group n=8, preoperative and early & late postoperative volumes) presenting the symptom of prominent mandible angle. The data was analyzed statistically by two-sample t-test and paired t-test using SAS (version 8.2). Results In normal female group, volume average was $16,142{\pm}2,829.8mm^3$. In patient group, preoperative volume averaged $24,447{\pm}4,544.5mm^3$ (p<0.0001), early postoperative volume measured average of $31,966{\pm}50,421mm^3$ which is a 30% increase from the preoperative volume (p<0.0001). Late postoperative measurement was $20,202{\pm}4,092.3mm^3$, which is a 20% decrease from the preoperative volume (p<0.0006). Conclusion The bone reduction of prominent mandible angle induce the hypotrophic effect of masseter muscle after long term follow up (5 more months). This result mean that the result of mandible angle contouring surgery can be considered as combined effect of bony angle reduction and subsequent masseter muscle hypotrophy.

  • In orthodontic view points, there were a few attempts to describe on the mandibular rest position with roentgenocephalometric studies for the persons with malocclusion. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate and interpret the difference in each of the Angle's classification of the malocclusion. The author has selected 115 malocclusion patients of the both sexes as subjects, whose dental ages were from III A. Two lateral cephalometric head films were taken mandible at rest and with the teeth in occlusion utilizing the Broadbent-Bolton cephalometer. Their linear and angular measurements were made directly. The author obtained the following results: 1) The change in the incisal overbite was of $-2.32\~-3.36mm$, and the overjet decreased similiarly in each class of the malocclusion. 2) The range of free-way space was of $1.97\~3.56mm$, and showed prominent in the Angle's class III malocclusion. 3) In the rest position, the mandible showed backward displacement, and it was prominent in the Angle's class III malocclusion. 4) In the change of Ar-Gn, the class I and II showed more increase of distance-than the class III. 5) In the change of ${\angel}SNL_1L_1'$, the class III showed smaller angle than the class I and II. 6) There was no significant difference between the male and female in each class of the malocclusion.

  • We experienced a patient of subcondylar fracture who had a squared contour of the lower face with prominent angle of the mandible and masseter hypertrophy. Our patient was increasingly seeking esthetic improvement of the lower third of the face. But she did not want multi-stage operations. Thus, we decided and performed a one-stage mandibular angle ostectomy with fracture management. We have a stable and esthetic result simultaneously despite fractures of the fixation plates during follow-up period, so report a case.

  • The mandibuloplasty for the facial aesthetic reason has been the one of the most popular procedures in aesthetic facial bone surgery in East Asia. Most East Asian women prefer smaller-looking and smooth-shaped facial contour. Prominent mandible angle which are common in Asia would be the main problem for smooth facial contour. In addition, recently, the mandibular body and broad chin shape also are known to be remodeled in order to get the ideal smooth facial shape. However, mandibuloplasty is not that easy to cut because many patients has inward mandibular angle and the visual field in operation is limited. The aim of this trial is to try to provide the prefabricated cutting guide for the symmetric and appropriate mandibuloplasty with the surgeons. Preoperative computed tomography(CT) data were processed for the patient and computer simulation model was produced. Then, mandibuloplasty was done on the computer simulation screen. Based on this data, customized cutting guide was made. This prefabricated cutting guide was used in real mandibuloplasty bilaterally. Premade cutting guide for the mandibuloplasty based on the computer simulation turned out to be very successful in this patient. Individualized approach for each patient could be an ideal way to manage the patients in near future.

  • The contour of mandibular angle is important for facial esthetics in the oriental population, because the wide and square face is thought to have had an unhappy life. A prominent mandibular angle produces a characteristics quardrangle, coase, and muscular appearance. So, uni- or bi-lateral mandibular angle reduction is usually performed. However, there is little guideline for bi-lateral angle reduction. So, this study was to investigate the pattern of Korean mandibular angle for bi-lateral mandibular angle reduction as guideline. This study was included 66 adult men and women over 19 years old who are having the normal mandibular angle. We measured the posterior border, angle, and inferior border of mandible using cephalometric view. The results of study was as followed : 1. The ratio of posterior mandible was 96.6, 97.3% in male, and 103.0, 106.0% in female. 2. The ratio of mandibular angle(R1-Go/R1-R2) was 120.2% in male, and 117.3% in female. 3. The ratio of inferior mandible(D5, 6, 7, E, F, G/D4) was 97.3, 90.9, 79.5, 65.2, 57.8, 46.9% in male, and 98.5, 91.2, 80.5, 67.6, 59.1, 50.2% in female. The results of this study should be useful to decide accurate amount of reduction.

  • A prognathic mandible and prominent gonial angle are considered to be unattractive in the Orient because it gives the face a square and muscular appearance. Requests for contouring of the mandibular angle are rare in the other race but are much more common in Korea and, through out the Orient. So, we often encounter a patient with a prognathic mandible and squarish or broad face who wishes to have his or her facial size reduced minimally or to acquire a round or slender appearance. But, mandibular angle is located in the deepest part of the operative field and the strong tension of the lateral soft tissue makes retraction difficult. It is extremely difficult to reduce the gonial angle with sagittal split ramus osteotomy by intraoral approach at the same time. We apply the method of gonial angle reduction during SSRO and had satisfactory results. We will present our results and hope to give some useful information for management of mandibular deformity.

  • In this systematic review on bone reduction procedures for the correction of the prominent mandibular angle, we collected and sorted the methods. The strength and weakness, indication, complication, and final esthetic result of each method were evaluated. After searching and filtering the literatures on the base of inclusion criteria, 9 eligible case series studies were included in this study. There were 3 types of curved ostectomies and 4 types of lateral cortical ostectomies. Surgical procedures for curved ostectomies were divided into 2 types. One was single curved ostectomy and the other was multistaged curved ostectomy. Lateral cortical ostectomies reported were all similar to sagittal split ramus osteotomy. The complications reported in the included studies were scarce, but curved ostectomies may be able to induce many complications. The prominent mandibular angle must be analyzed in the lateral dimension and frontal dimension, and curved ostectomy can reduce the mandibular angle laterally while lateral cortical ostectomy can reduce the bigonial distance frontally. Because curved ostectomies can induce complications and unnaturally large mandibular angle while can not reduce bigonial distance efficiently, the current trend for the angle reduction procedure is lateral cortical ostectomies.

  • The purpose of this study was to find out the craniofacial skeletal characteristics and to establish standards in facial patterns of Korean adolescences with normal occlusion. The subjects consisted of 54 males and 71 females ranging in age from 12 to 16 years. To classify facial patrons, number the clinical deviations from the normal five key measurements: the facial axis, facial angle, mandibular plane angle, lower face height, mandibular arc, are added and averaged with the proper sign to divide subjects into three groups ; brachyfacial, mesofacial dolichofacial groups. For the comparison of each group, a total of 43 morphologic variables were employed and the data were analyzed by statistical methods. The findings of this study can be summerized as follows; 1. The mesofacial group was $54.4\%$, the brachyfacial group was $29.6\%$ and the dolichofacial group was $16.0\%$ in this subjects. 2. There were no significant differences in size and shape of cranial base among each groups. 3. The brachyfacial group manifested the forward positioned maxilla and mandible to anterior cranial base, smaller cant of the mandibular plane, square shaped mandible, and prominent symphysis as compared with dolichofacial group. 4. There were no significant differences in the cant of the maxilla to the anterior cranial base among each groups. 5. Ramal height and madibular body length of brachyfacial group were larger than those of dolichofacial group. 6. Brachyfacial group indicated the smallest degree in divergency of maxilla and mandible while dolichofacial group showed the largest degree.

  • The treatment plan for orthognathic surgery must be based on accurate predictions, and this can be produced the most esthetic results. Treatment of prognathic mandible in adult is usually orthognathic surgery using mandible set back, but mandible with retruded chin point is needed additional chin augmentation. In this case, the directions between mandible and chin point are different therefore, the prediction of soft tissue reactions must be modified. In this study, we materialize the patients who was taken orthognathic surgery due to prognathic mandible, 11each(Group A) was taken only Bilateral Sagittal Sprit Ramus Osteotomy (BSSRO), 9each(Group B) was taken additional advancement genioplasty. The lateral cephalometric radiography taken 8 months later after orthognathic surgery by this patients were used. The results of this study were as follows : 1. The profile of lips was favorable after surgery due to upper lip to I-line became prominent and lower lip tc E-line was retruded. 2. In both group, upper lip moved posteriorly and nasolabial angle was increased. 3. The ratio of the soft tissue profile change in POGs point to skeletal B point movement was $84\%$ in group A and $66\%$ in group B, and there was statistical significance between group A and group B. 4. Vertical movement of hard tissue points is decreased in group A.
