Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to simultaneously evaluate soft tissue changes induced by bilateral sagittal split osteotomy of the mandible as well as paranasal augmentation using a Medpor® implant based on cephalometric radiography before and 6 months after surgery.
Materials and Methods: We analyzed the increase in soft tissue volume in 20 patients diagnosed with mandibular advancement and midfacial depression between Feburary 2005 and Feburary 2009. Paranasal augmentation was performed using a 4.5mm-thick Medpor® implant, and lateral head radiographs were analyzed before and 6 months after surgery.
Results: The increase in soft tissue volume was 3.27±1.16 mm, which was 72.67% of the actual thickness. After surgery, no particular complication was detected, and the results were acceptable to the patients and surgeons. Based on these results, the Medpor®implant is a satisfactory artificial graft material for use in facial augmentation.
Conclusion: Paranasal augmentation using the Medpor® implant can be considered a good surgical option that can maximize the aesthetics of a patient`s face.
