Handbook of Orthognathic Treatment

Focuses on the complex, multidisciplinary process of orthognathic surgery, which corrects jaw and facial deformities. The text extensively details the crucial role of psychological assessment and therapeutic input, noting how mental health issues like body dysmorphic disorder, social phobia, or depression can affect treatment satisfaction and outcome. Furthermore, the material outlines meticulous dentofacial assessment methods, including clinical examination, detailed measurements of facial soft tissues and bony landmarks, and various diagnostic records like cephalometrics and stereophotogrammetry. Finally, the sources review surgical planning techniques and the role of pre-surgical orthodontics, describing procedures like the Le Fort I osteotomy and sagittal split ramus osteotomy, and emphasizing the importance of model surgery and three-dimensional prediction planning to achieve aesthetic and functional results.
