Although many books have been written on the subject of orthognathic surgery, none of them specifically addresses the essentials of treating patients with dentofacial deformities. This book, which presents both the science and art of orthognathic surgery, was written to fill that void. The research component has been omitted, since those aspects have been adequately presented in other textbooks. Instead, it focuses on the surgical and orthodontic principles of orthognathic surgery, allowing the clinician to learn the subtleties of treating patients with dentofacial deformities without first wading through scientific data and treatment philosophies.
The text opens with a concise description of the principles of the clinical evaluation of a patient, analysis of diagnostic records, treatment planning, and surgical procedures with possible complications. Clinical cases are then presented to demonstrate treatment outcomes, which are evaluated in all three dimensions and may be used by clinicians as an atlas for patient education. The text is enhanced and clarified by detailed illustrations that are used liberally throughout the book in the belief that “one illustration is worth a thousand words.”
This book specifically addresses several issues that are essential to orthognathic surgery. For example, cephalometric analysis is routinely used by orthodontists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons as a diagnostic guide and method of communication between members of a treatment team. However, because of their sheer numbers, relevant cephalometric analyses may become confusing and are often contradictory. To help assuage this difficulty, the relevance of the various analyses, including the new innovation of anteroposterior cephalometric analysis of the chin, is clarified with respect to skeletal, soft tissue, and dental relations in both lateral and anteroposterior cephalometry. An interpretation of each analysis is given to allow the clinician to choose the relevant analysis for the diagnosis of a specific facial deformity.
Another key issue in orthognathic surgery is the visual treatment objective. This tool is possibly the most meaningful, illustrative communication medium between team members as well as for patient information. Substantial space is therefore devoted to discussion of the development of a visual treatment objective for each deformity or combination of deformities in a step-by-step manner.
The modern orthognathic surgeon is exposed to a number of surgical procedures to correct dentofacial deformities. There is little doubt that the three most commonly used techniques are the Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy (including segmental surgery), the bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy of the mandible, and the sliding genioplasty. These three techniques are comprehensively described and clearly illustrated in a step-by-step manner. The basic principles necessary for a successful result, including the management of possible postoperative complications, are emphasized.
