ABSTRACT

The ideal sagittal position of the maxilla is highly subjective in orthognathic surgical treatment planning. There is no consensus on an analysis to predict the ideal sagittal position of the maxilla. The objective of this study was to determine the preferred maxillary position in relation to the forehead shape, in the Southern Chinese population. The maxilla position of eight patients was simulated based on Steiner's analysis (SA), glabella vertical (GV), Andrews' Element II (AE2), and the Barcelona reference (BR). The simulations were then used in an electronic survey, where respondents ranked the images for each patient from to 1-4 (most to least attractive). A total of 128 responses were collected from dental professionals and laypersons. The most preferred to the least preferred simulation was as follows (mean rank scores for the male and female patients in parenthesis): BR (males 2.06; females 1.98), GV (males 2.11; females 2.21), SA (males 2.59; females 2.40), and AE2 (males 3.24; females 3.41). There was no significant difference in the results according to the sex, age group, or profession of the respondents. The Barcelona reference and glabella vertical are useful in predicting the ideal maxillary position in patients with a flat forehead, and the Barcelona reference is the most preferred in patients with a rounded forehead.

ABSTRACT

Neurofibromas are frequently present in the skin, but are uncommon in the oral and maxillofacial region. There are three histological variants of neurofibroma: localized, diffuse, and plexiform. The plexiform histological variant of neurofibroma is the least common and is a rare occurrence in the oral cavity. Furthermore, plexiform neurofibroma is usually pathognomonic of neurofibromatosis type 1. A case of solitary plexiform neurofibroma of the tongue with no evidence of neurofibromatosis in a 50-year-old female Chinese patient is reported here. The lesion presented as a single, large, well-circumscribed rounded mass in the left hemi-tongue. The tumour was completely excised. No recurrence was observed at the 6-month follow-up.
