Abstract |
Introduction |
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of changes in some cephalometric values on the changes in facial age and facial aesthetics scores after surgery in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery.
Material and methods |
Preoperative and postoperative photographs of 50 patients who underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomy and LeFort I osteotomy were evaluated by 189 evaluators. Evaluators were asked to look at the photographs and estimate the age of the patient and give a score between 0 and 10 for facial aesthetics.
Results |
The mean age of 33 female patients was 22.84±0.81, while the mean age of 17 male patients was 24.52±1.21. Class 2 and Class 3 patients were affected at varying rates by changes in cephalometric values. There were also differences in the evaluation of full-face photographs and the evaluation of lateral profile photographs. The data obtained as a result of the analysis are summarized in the tables.
Conclusions |
Although the data of our present study presents the relationship between facial age and facial aesthetics and cephalometric analysis results with quantitative data, it has been concluded that the evaluation process of these parameters is quite complex and may not yield optimum results in clinical evaluation.
