Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate postoperative stability and soft-tissue osseous relations of the long face syndrome patients.
Methods: Twenty-five patients who had undergone bimaxillary surgery to correct long face syndrome at the Pusan National University Hospital were evaluated. The lateral cephalograms of preoperative, 1 week postoperative and at least 1 year postoperative were examined.
Results: 1. The facial height of the long face syndrome patients were longer than normal Korean adults. 2. The most common malocclusion type of the long face syndrome patients in Korea was class III. 3. Horizontal postoperative skeletal relapses were -0.64~0.80mm in the maxilla, and -0.56~0.48mm in the mandible. 4. Vertical postoperative skeletal relapses were 0.20~0.56mm in the maxilla, and -0.80~0.20mm in the mandible. 5. Postoperative soft tissue changes in long face syndrome patients were correlated with postoperative skeletal changes. So prediction schemes for postoperative soft-tissue changes were obtainable.
Conclusion: It is hard to predict the exact direction and quantity of the postoperative skeletal relapse in long face syndrome patient’s orthognathic surgery because of large standard deviation. But soft tissue change is predictable via prediction scheme.
