Abstract
OBJECTIVES This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the accuracy and efficiency of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven automated landmark detection for cephalometric analysis on two-dimensional (2D) lateral cephalograms and three-dimensional (3D) cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images. SEARCH METHODS An electronic search was conducted in the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and grey literature with search timeline extending up to January 2024. SELECTION CRITERIA Studies that employed AI for 2D or 3D cephalometric landmark detection were included. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS The selection of studies, data extraction, and quality assessment of the included studies were performed independently by two reviewers. The risk of bias was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tool. A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the 2D landmarks identification based on both mean radial error and standard error. RESULTS Following the removal of duplicates, title and abstract screening, and full-text reading, 34 publications were selected. Amongst these, 27 studies evaluated the accuracy of AI-driven automated landmarking on 2D lateral cephalograms, while 7 studies involved 3D-CBCT images. A meta-analysis, based on the success detection rate of landmark placement on 2D images, revealed that the error was below the clinically acceptable threshold of 2 mm (1.39 mm; 95% confidence interval: 0.85-1.92 mm). For 3D images, meta-analysis could not be conducted due to significant heterogeneity amongst the study designs. However, qualitative synthesis indicated that the mean error of landmark detection on 3D images ranged from 1.0 to 5.8 mm. Both automated 2D and 3D landmarking proved to be time-efficient, taking less than 1 min. Most studies exhibited a high risk of bias in data selection (n = 27) and reference standard (n = 29). CONCLUSION The performance of AI-driven cephalometric landmark detection on both 2D cephalograms and 3D-CBCT images showed potential in terms of accuracy and time efficiency. However, the generalizability and robustness of these AI systems could benefit from further improvement. REGISTRATION PROSPERO: CRD42022328800.

Abstract
Orthognathic surgery is highly effective for treating maxillomandibular discrepancies in patients with class III malocclusion. However, whether one- or two-jaw surgery should be selected remains controversial. Our study aimed to evaluate quantitative differences between one-jaw and two-jaw surgical designs. In total, 100 consecutive patients with skeletal class III malocclusion who underwent orthognathic surgery with preoperative three-dimensional simulation between August 2016 and November 2021 were recruited. Based on the same final occlusal setup, a two-jaw surgery design and two types of one-jaw design were created. In total, 400 image sets, including preoperative images and three types of surgical simulation, were measured and compared. The one-jaw mandibular setback design led to improvement in most cephalometric measurements and facial symmetry. Although the one-jaw maxillary advancement design improved the ANB angle and facial convexity, it induced maxillary protrusion and reduced facial symmetry. Compared with the other designs, the two-jaw design provided significantly closer cephalometric measurements to the normative values, better symmetry, and less occlusal cant. Overall, the two-jaw design provided a quantitatively better facial appearance in terms of symmetry, proportion, and profile. Although an optimal surgical design necessitates thorough preoperative evaluation and a shared decision-making process, two-jaw surgery can be considered for improving overall facial esthetics and harmony.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Virtual planning has revolutionized orthognathic surgery. This study presents a computer-assisted method for constructing average three-dimensional skeletofacial models that can be applied as templates for surgical planning for maxillomandibular repositioning. METHODS The authors used the images of 60 individuals (30 women and 30 men) who had never undergone orthognathic surgery to construct an average three-dimensional skeletofacial model for male participants and one for female participants. The authors validated the accuracy of the newly developed skeletofacial models by comparing their images with 30 surgical simulation images (ie, skulls) that had been created using three-dimensional cephalometric normative data. The comparison was conducted by superimposing surgical simulation images created using the authors' models with the previously created images to analyze their differences, particularly differences in the jawbone position. RESULTS For all participants, the authors compared the jaw position in the surgical simulation images created using the authors' average three-dimensional skeletofacial models with that in the images created using three-dimensional cephalometric normative data. The results revealed that the planned maxillary and mandibular positions were similar in both images and that the differences between all facial landmarks were less than 1 mm, except for one dental position. Most studies have reported less than 2 mm to be the success criterion for the distance difference between planned and outcome images; thus, the authors' data indicate high consistency between the images in terms of jawbone position. CONCLUSION The authors' average three-dimensional skeletofacial models provide an innovative template-assisted orthognathic surgery planning modality that can enhance the fully digital workflow for virtual orthognathic surgical planning.

Abstract
Facial asymmetry is often seen in patients with skeletal mandibular prognathism and is associated with deformities in the maxillofacial and head regions. The maxillofacial deviation is three-dimensional and affects not only the lateral deviation of the mandible and midface, but also the cranium. This study conducted a three-dimensional morphological evaluation of the cranial base morphology of patients with skeletal mandibular prognathism (ANB < 0°, Wits < 0 mm) with the aim of examining the relationship between deformities of the head region and facial asymmetry. Data obtained from computed tomography conducted during the initial examination of patients with and without skeletal mandibular prognathism with facial asymmetry were used. Differences in the position of structures present in the cranial base were measured, and the association between cranial deformities and mandibular deviation was assessed. The middle cranial base area and the lateral deviation of the mandibular fossa were significantly larger in patients with facial asymmetry compared to those without facial asymmetry. In addition, a correlation between the amount of mandibular deviation and the area of the anterior cranial base was identified in patients with significant cranial deformity (p = 0.012). Given the identified association between the structure of the head region and facial asymmetry, further studies are needed to determine the factors implicated in the growth process.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) planning of orthognathic surgery (OGS) improves the treatment of facial asymmetry and malocclusion, but no consensus exists among clinicians regarding technical details. This study verified the consistency of authors' workflow and strategies between 3D planning and surgical execution for facial asymmetry. This retrospective study recruited consecutive patients (n=54) with nonsyndromic facial asymmetry associated with malocclusion. The stepwise workflow included orthodontic treatment, 3D imaging-based evaluation, planning, and transferring the virtual of single-splint 2-jaw OGS to actual surgery in all patients. Seven landmark-based measurements were selected for postoperative assessment of facial symmetry. Fifty patients had no anesthetic/surgical-related episode and procedure-related complications. Others experienced wound infection (n=1), transient TMJ discomfort (n=1), and facial numbness (n=3). Two cases had minor residual asymmetry (cheek and chin, respectively), but did not request revisionary bone or soft tissue surgery. Comparisons between the planned and postoperative 3D images with quantitative measurement revealed acceptable outcome data. The results showed a significant increase in facial symmetry at 7 landmark-based postoperative measurements for both male and female. This 3D-assisted pathway of OGS permitted achievement of consistent satisfactory results in managing facial asymmetry, with low rate of complications and secondary management.

Abstract
The unsolved problem in three-dimensional surgical planning for patients with facial deformity, dysgnathia, or asymmetry is the lack of a normative database of "norm skulls" that can be used as treatment objectives. A study was conducted on 90 Eurasian persons (46 male and 44 female adults) for whom cone beam-computed tomography images were available. Inclusion criteria were adult patients with a skeletal Class I pattern, proper interincisal relationship with normal occlusion, the absence of an open bite both in the anterior and posterior region, and a normal and balanced facial appearance; patients with dysgnathia and malformations were excluded. A total of 18 landmarks were digitized and 3D cephalometric measurements were performed and analyzed by means of proportions calculated from the landmarks. Male and female skulls were analyzed, as well as subdivisions revealed by cluster analysis. The data showed that four subtypes of skulls were distinguishable with statistical significance (p < 0.05). A male and a female type subdivided in a brachiocephalic and dolichocephalic phenotype could be identified. For each type, a mean shape was calculated by a Procrustes transformation, which, in turn, was used to create four template skulls from a male and a female skull. This was accomplished by fitting the polygon models of the two skulls to each of the two subtypes based on the landmarks marked on them using a thin plate spline transformation. The normative data of the subtypes can individually serve as a guide for orthodontic surgery in the Eurasian population, which is especially helpful in 3D planning and the execution of craniofacial operations.

Proposal of a New Aesthetic Three-Dimensional Guide in Orthognathic Surgery. J Pers Med 2023; 13:936. [PMID: 37373925 PMCID: PMC10301536 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13060936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Orthognathic surgery is a multidisciplinary surgery in which the aesthetic results have become increasingly important, and consequently, also the predictability of the surgical outcomes. In this paper, we analyzed the volumetric distribution of the lower two-thirds of the face, in patients operated by orthognathic surgery and selected for their attractiveness. Our goal was to analyze the aesthetic volumetric distribution for gender and to propose our operating philosophy, that a normative distribution of facial volumes could be used like a new 3D aesthetic guide in orthognathic planning. METHODS A group of 46 orthognathic patients (26 females, 20 males) with the best postoperative aesthetic score was selected by a jury of plastic surgeons, orthodontists, and journalists. The mean soft tissue volumes of the malar, maxillary, mandibular, and chin regions were analyzed. RESULTS Overall, we measured a mean female facial volume distribution of 38.7%, 29%, 27.6%, and 4.7%, respectively, in the malar, maxillary, mandibular, and chin regions, while in males, it was 37%, 26%, 30%, and 6%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In this paper, the expansion of facial volumes in orthognathic surgery is proposed as a key point for facial harmonization. Beauty could be scientifically interpreted as a balanced distribution of facial volumes, and the virtual study of this distribution can become an important part of the preoperative analysis, such as a "volumetric" 3D cephalometry, where the surgeon could use average values of aesthetic volumetric distribution as preoperative surgical references.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to three-dimensionally compare the maxillary growth among the spheno-occipital synchondrosis (SOS) maturation stages in both genders. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study of a retrospective type in which cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 500 patients aged 6 to 25 years (226 males and 274 females) were analyzed. The SOS was evaluated using the four-stage scoring system; completely open, partially fused, semi-fused, or completely fused. The SOS scoring and three-dimensional cephalometric measurements were analyzed by Invivo 6.0.3 software. Descriptive and analytical statistics were performed and a P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS There was a statistically significant difference in maxillary measurements among SOS maturation stages in both genders (P < 0.05). The mean differences in the maxillary growth among the SOS maturation stages between SOS stages 2 and 3 were higher than those between stages 1and 2 and stages 3 and 4 for maxillary length and height in both genders. However, the mean difference in the maxillary width was higher between SOS stages 1 and 2 than those stages 2 and 3 and stages 3 and 4. On other hand, there may be lesser maxillary growth between SOS stages 3 and 4 for maxillary width, length (in males), and height. The growth curves showed high active growth of the maxilla as the SOS was still fusing (especially stage 2 and 3) than those of the fused (stage 4). Moreover, the acceleration of growth occurred earlier in females than males regarding chronological age but not for SOS maturation stages. CONCLUSIONS The SOS maturation stages are valid and reliable maxillary skeletal maturation indicators for three-dimensional maxillary growth in both genders.

CONCLUSIONS The SOS maturation stages are valid and reliable mandibular skeletal indicators as evaluated with three-dimensional cephalometric mandibular measurements. The findings of growth increments and constructed growth curves of mandibular growth might be helpful in diagnosis and treatment planning.

Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12102513. [PMID: 36292202 PMCID: PMC9600977 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12102513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2022] [Revised: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 10/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to propose a novel 3D Enlow’s counterpart analysis traced on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Eighteen CBCT images of skeletal Class I (ANB = 2° ± 2°) subjects (12 males and 6 females, aged from 9 to 19 years) with no history of previous orthodontic treatment were selected. For each subject, a 2D Enlow’s counterpart analysis was performed on lateral cephalograms extracted from the CBCT images. The following structures were identified: mandibular ramus, middle cranial floor, maxillary skeletal arch, mandibular skeletal arch, maxillary dento-alveolar arch, mandibular dento-alveolar arch. The differences between each part and its relative counterpart obtained from the 2D analysis were than compared with those obtained from a 3D analysis traced on the CBCT images. A Student’s t-test did not show any statistical significant difference between the 2D and 3D measurements. The landmarks proposed by this study identified the cranio-facial structures on the 3D images in a way that could be superimposed on those described by Enlow in his analysis performed on 2D lateral cephalograms.

One-Jaw versus Two-Jaw Orthognathic Surgery for Patients with Cleft: A Comparative Study Using 3D Imaging Virtual Surgical Planning. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/app12094461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/10/2022]
Abstract
Whether a one-jaw or two-jaw design is used in orthognathic surgery for patients with cleft remains varied and controversial. This study aimed to compare the two approaches using 3-dimensional imaging surgical simulation. This study was conducted on 41 consecutive patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate treated in the craniofacial center. All patients had original two-jaw virtual planning and orthognathic surgery. Simulation of one-jaw LeFort I surgery was performed using the same final dental occlusion on 3-dimensional images. Cephalometric data and asymmetry index were collected and compared among the designs. Average advancement of the maxilla was 7.46 mm in one-jaw and 4.80 mm in two-jaw design. SNA, SNB, and A-N perpendicular were significantly greater and close to normative data in the one-jaw design. ANB angles were similar in both designs. The anterior and posterior occlusal plane cants, the deviation of midline landmarks, and the asymmetry index were more improved in the two-jaw approach. It is concluded that the two-jaw cleft orthognathic surgery could significantly improve facial midline and symmetry compared with the one-jaw approach. However, the two-jaw surgery with mandibular setback produced less protrusive facial contour although a harmonious relationship between the maxilla and mandible was achieved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Studies have reported the advantages of digital imaging-assisted orthognathic surgery planning, but there is scarce information about a full digital planning modality. This study evaluated the 3D cephalometric-based and patient-reported outcomes of a full digital workflow for orthognathic surgery planning in the treatment of asymmetric maxillomandibular disharmony. METHODS A postoperative 3D image dataset of 30 Taiwanese Chinese patients with asymmetric skeletal Class III deformities who underwent full digital planning for two-jaw surgery were retrieved from the authors' database. The 3D cephalometric data (dental, skeletal, and soft tissue evaluations) were compared to the ethnicity-matched 3D cephalometric normative values. Patient-reported outcome measure tools regarding postoperative overall appearance and satisfaction with facial areas (ranging from 0 to 100 and 0 to 10, respectively) were administered. The number of needed or requested revisionary surgery was collected. RESULTS No difference (all p > 0.05) was observed between the orthognathic-surgery-treated patients and the normative value for most of the tested 3D cephalometric parameters, with the exception (p < 0.05) of three mandible and occlusal-plane-related parameters. Both patient-reported outcome measure tools showed that patients' satisfaction with their postoperative appearance was high for overall face (89.7 ± 4.5) and specific facial regions (nose, 7.1 ± 1.3; lip, 8.3 ± 1.6; upper gum, 8.5 ± 1.2; cheek, 8.8 ± 1.1; chin, 9.2 ± 1.2; and teeth, 9.3 ± 0.8), with no need for revisionary surgery. CONCLUSION The patients treated with a full 3D digital planning-assisted two-jaw surgery had a similar 3D dental relation, facial convexity, and symmetry compared to healthy ethnicity-matched individuals, and they reported higher satisfaction levels with their postoperative facial appearance results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Le Fort I maxillary advancement and rotational movement have been adopted to treat patients with cleft-related skeletal Class III pattern and anteromedial cheek soft tissue deficiency, but cleft-specific cheek soft tissue prediction data are insufficient. This 3D imaging-based study addressed the issue. METHODS 3D craniofacial soft tissue and bone models were created from 32 consecutive patients who received computer-aided two-jaw orthognathic surgery for the correction of cleft-related Class III deformity and cheek soft tissue deficiency. Using superimposed 3D models, the cheek volumetric change, the cheek sagittal movement, and the 3D cheek mass position were calculated. 3D data from orthognathic surgery-treated patients with no cleft (noncleft cohort) and individuals with no facial deformity (3D norm value) were retrieved for comparative analysis. RESULTS Surgical maxillary advancement (p < 0.001) but not maxillary clockwise rotation (p > 0.05) had a significant impact on the cheek soft tissue change, with prediction models showing that maxillary advancement elucidated 77 and 79% of this change on the cleft and noncleft sides, respectively. Cleft cohort (0.46±0.12) had a significantly (p < 0.001) smaller cheek soft-to-hard tissue ratio than that of the noncleft cohort (0.73±0.13). Cleft maxillary advancements >4 mm resulted in a 3D cheek mass position (2.1±1.1 mm) similar (p > 0.05) to the 3D norm value (2.2±1.2 mm), but different (p = 0.037) from the noncleft cohort (2.38±0.7 mm). CONCLUSION This study showed that maxillary advancement but not the maxillary rotation affects the cheek soft tissue change, and the predictive values and comparative data could assist the orthodontist-surgeon interaction during preoperative planning and patient counseling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Le Fort I maxillary repositioning influences nasal morphology. In Asian cultures, upward nasal tip rotation with increased nostril exposure is considered aesthetically unpleasant and can have psychosocial consequences. This three-dimensional imaging-based study evaluated the effect of different Le Fort I maxillary movements on nasal tip rotation. METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent two-jaw orthognathic surgery (n = 107) were enrolled. To achieve a standard head orientation, preoperative and 1-week and 12-month postoperative cone-beam computed tomography-derived three-dimensional craniofacial models were superimposed. Tip rotation angle was calculated according to the Frankfort horizontal plane for all three-dimensional digital models. The final tip rotation angle change was defined as 12-month postoperative value minus preoperative value. Translational maxillary movement types (advancement versus setback and intrusion versus extrusion), postoperative maxillary segment locations (anterosuperior, anteroinferior, posterosuperior, or posteroinferior), and actual linear maxillary changes were noted. RESULTS Advancement (1.79 ± 5.20 degrees) and intrusion (2.23 ± 4.96 degrees) movements demonstrated significantly larger final tip rotation angle changes than setback (-0.88 ± 5.15 degrees) and extrusion (0.09 ± 5.44 degrees) movements (all p < 0.05). Postoperative anterosuperior location (2.95 ± 4.52 degrees) of the maxillary segment demonstrated a significantly larger final tip rotation angle change than anteroinferior (0.48 ± 5.65 degrees), posterosuperior (-1.08 ± 4.77 degrees), and posteroinferior (-0.64 ± 5.80 degrees) locations (all p < 0.05). Translational maxillary movement and actual linear maxillary change were not correlated with final tip rotation angle change. CONCLUSION Effects of Le Fort I maxillary repositioning on nasal tip rotation depend on movement types and maxillary segment location. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, III.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess and compare the stability and outcomes of the two surgical approaches for patients with roll asymmetry. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 50 adult patients were consecutively recruited for this prospective study. Patients with class III asymmetry and lip or occlusal cant who underwent bimaxillary surgery were grouped according to surgical approach: asymmetric posterior impaction on both sides (API, n = 31) and posterior impaction on one side and posterior extrusion on the other side (PIE, n = 19). Postsurgical stability and outcomes between groups were determined with cone-beam computed tomography for facial midline, lip, and occlusal cant at 1 week (T1), and at least 12-month postsurgery (T2, completion of orthodontic treatment). RESULTS Presurgery, the upper anterior occlusal cant and lip cant were significantly greater for the PIE group (p < 0.05). Postsurgery (T2), the mandible moved upward and rotated upward in both groups. However, the upward rotation was significantly greater in the PIE group compared with the API group. Although the two approaches resulted in significant improvements in facial symmetry, the deviation in the facial midline remained under-corrected for most API patients. CONCLUSIONS Patient outcomes for mandibular stability and facial symmetry differed between the two surgical approaches for correction of class III asymmetry with lip or occlusal cant. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The findings of this study suggest that planned over-correction is a reasonable option for the approach of asymmetric posterior impaction on both sides.

Abstract
PURPOSE Three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided planning has truly revolutionized orthognathic surgery (OGS) treatment, but no study has compared the traditional hybrid and full 3D digital planning models. This study compared these virtual planning models in the treatment of asymmetric maxillomandibular disharmony. METHODS Young adult patients with an asymmetric skeletal class III deformity who underwent 3D computer-aided 2-jaw OGS using hybrid (alginate dental impression, 2D cephalometric tracings, manual-guided stone model surgery, occlusion setup, and splint fabrication; n = 30) or full digital (laser-scanned dentition, 3D cephalometric tracings, virtual-based occlusion setup and surgery, and computer-generated surgical splint; n = 30) planning models were consecutively recruited. Preoperative and postoperative 3D cephalometric analyses (dental relation, skeletal assessments based on sagittal and frontal views, and soft tissue evaluations) were adopted for intragroup and intergroup comparisons. Postoperative patient-perceived satisfaction with facial appearance was also recorded. RESULTS Both hybrid and full digital planning groups had significant (all P < 0.05) improvements after surgery with respect to facial convexity, incisor overjet, and frontal symmetry parameters. The full 3D digital planning-based OGS treatment had similar (all P > 0.05) 3D cephalometric-derived outcomes (preoperative, postoperative, and treatment-induced change data) and patient-perceived outcomes compared with the traditional hybrid 3D planning method. CONCLUSIONS For the decision-making process in selecting the planning model, multidisciplinary teams could consider additional parameters such as patient comfort, storage needs, convenience for data reuse, overall planning time, availability, and costs.

The Relationship Between the Facial Proportion Changes in Hard Tissue and the Satisfaction of Patients After Reduction Malarplasty: a Research Based on Three-Dimensional Cephalometry. Aesthetic Plast Surg 2020; 44:750-763.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aim to measure the zygomatic width and protrusion changes in hard tissue after reduction malarplasty and then calculate facial proportion changes and analyze the relationship between facial proportion changes and patients' satisfaction. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed our database and selected 36 eligible patients who underwent isolated reduction malarplasty in our department from March 2015 to July 2018. The preoperative and postoperative facial width and protrusion, as well as head height, in hard tissue were measured using ProPlan software. Patients' satisfaction was evaluated by questionnaire. The correlations between the facial proportion changes and patients' satisfaction were analyzed using Spearman correlation analysis. RESULTS The preoperative and postoperative midface widths were 135.87 ± 4.09 mm and 129.06 ± 4.95 mm. The relative zygomatic protrusion was reduced by 3.29 ± 1.54 mm in the left and 2.88 ± 1.73 mm in the right after surgery. The ratio of the midface width to lower face width changed from 1.43 ± 0.05 to 1.36 ± 0.06 after surgery. And the ratio of the head height to midface width changed from 1.53 ± 0.05 to 1.61 ± 0.05 after surgery. The ratios were indeed close to the ideal ratios we presumed (4:3 and 1.618). Moreover, patients' total and morphology satisfaction were both significantly higher with the postoperative ratio of the midface width to lower face width closer to 4:3 (R = - 0.732, P < 0.001; R = - 0.906, P < 0.001, respectively). But only morphology satisfaction was higher with the ratio of the head height to midface width closer to 1.618 (R = - 0.404, P = 0.014) and the ratio of the postoperative midface to lower face width decreased (R = - 0.434, P = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS We found patients' morphology satisfaction was higher with the proportion of the postoperative midface to lower face width decreased. What's more, the proximity degree between the postoperative facial proportion and the ideal facial proportions we presumed was significantly correlated with patients' high satisfaction. Therefore, 4:3 and 1.618 may be the ideal postoperative facial ratios for the patients who underwent reduction malarplasty.

Abstract
Despite the evident benefits of the modern surgery-first orthognathic surgery approach (reduced treatment time, efficient tooth decompensation, and early improvement in facial esthetics), the challenge of the surgical-occlusion setup acts as a hindering factor for the widespread and global adoption of this therapeutic modality, especially for the management of cleft-skeletofacial deformity. This is the first study to assess three-dimensional (3D) quantitative data of the surgical-occlusion setup in surgery-first cleft-orthognathic surgery. This comparative retrospective study was performed on 3D image datasets from consecutive patients with skeletal Class III deformity who had a unilateral cleft lip/palate (cleft cohort, n = 44) or a noncleft dentofacial deformity (noncleft cohort, n = 22) and underwent 3D computer-assisted single-splint two-jaw surgery by a single multidisciplinary team between 2014 and 2018. They received conventional orthodontics-first or surgery-first approaches. 3D quantitative characterization (linear, angular, and positional measurements) of the final surgical-occlusion setup was performed and adopted for comparative analyses. In the cleft cohort, the occlusion setup in the surgery-first approach had a significantly (all p < 0.05) smaller number of anterior teeth contacts and larger incisor overjet compared to the conventional approach. Considering the surgery-first approach, the cleft cohort presented significantly (all p < 0.05) larger (canine lateral overjet parameter) and smaller (incisor overjet, maxillary intercanine distance, maxillary intermolar distance, ratio of intercanine distance, and ratio of intermolar distance parameters) values than the noncleft cohort. This study contributes to the literature by providing 3D quantitative data of the surgical-occlusion setup in surgery-first cleft-orthognathic surgery, and delivers information that may assist multidisciplinary teams to adopt the surgery-first concept to optimize cleft care.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided simulation has revolutionized orthognathic surgery treatment, but scarce 3D cephalometric norms have been defined to date. The purposes of this study were to (1) establish a normative database of 3D Burstone cephalometric measurements for adult male and female Chinese in Taiwan, (2) compare this 3D norm dataset with the two-dimensional (2D) Burstone norms from Caucasian and Singaporean Chinese populations, and (3) apply these 3D norms to assess the outcome of a computer-aided simulation of orthognathic surgery. Three-dimensional Burstone cephalometric analysis was performed on 3D digital craniofacial image models generated from cone-beam computed tomography datasets of 60 adult Taiwanese Chinese individuals with normal occlusion and balanced facial profile. Three-dimensional Burstone analysis was performed on 3D image datasets from patients with skeletal Class III pattern (n = 30) with prior computer-aided simulation. Three-dimensional Burstone cephalometric measurements showed that Taiwanese Chinese males had significantly (p < 0.05) larger anterior and posterior facial heights, maxillary length, and mandibular ramus height than females, with no significant (p > 0.05) difference for facial soft-tissue parameters. The 3D norm dataset revealed Taiwanese Chinese-specific facial characteristics, with Taiwanese presenting (p < 0.05) a more convex profile, protrusive maxillary apical bases, protruding mandible, protruding upper and lower lips, and a shorter maxillary length and lower facial height than Caucasians. Taiwanese had significantly (p < 0.05) larger maxillary projection, vertical height ratio, lower face throat angle, nasolabial angle, and upper lip protrusion than Singaporean Chinese. No significant (p > 0.05) difference was observed between 3D norms and computer-aided simulation-derived 3D patient images for horizontal skeletal, vertical skeletal, and dental measurements, with the exception of two dental parameters (p < 0.05). This study contributes to literature by providing gender- and ethnic-specific 3D Burstone cephalometric norms, which can assist in the multidisciplinary-based delivery of orthodontic surgical care for Taiwanese Chinese individuals worldwide, including orthodontic management, computer-assisted simulation, and outcome assessment.
