Orthognathic Surgery for the Syndromic Patients with Congenital Facial Deformities

There are various factors that have to be considered in orthognathic surgery for the syndromic patients with congenital facial deformities. The factors such as the shape of the jaws, pattern of mouth opening, masticatory muscle tension, degree of facial asymmetry, reconstruction of deformities and patient’s cooperation are required to be taken into consideration more than a routine treatment plan. For this reason, much more complex process, additional surgeries, and more precise and careful surgical planning are needed than general orthognathic surgery. Nearly all preparation procedures have been digitalized in recent orthognathic surgery cases. Computer-aided and 3D orthognathic surgery simulations allow for more precise model surgeries for syndromic patients with congenital facial deformities. The aim of this study is to examine the effective treatment method for syndromic patients with congenital facial deformities and discuss improvement of orthognathic surgery.
