About the course:

Decision of surgical technique in orthognathic surgery is basically rely on the surgical treatment objectives which are the fundamental process in whole orthognathic treatment process. In Korean patients with jaw deformity, 90% of the patients are skeletal class III deformity and most of them accompany various degree of asymmetry or midface hypoplasia.

The recent trend of Korean orthognathic surgery would be the:

Surgery-first approach
3D planning for the patients
Accuracy and complication management
Posterior displacement of the jaws. Reduction of the facial skeleton (V-line, narrowing of cheekbones, corners of the jaw, chin)

The surgery-first orthognathic approach (SFA) without or minimal presurgical orthodontic treatment has been introduced. At the same time, recent introduction and wide spread application of 3D computerized planning changed a lot of aspects in preparation for orthognathic surgery. Especially in treating the facial asymmetry patients, computerized 3D surgical simulation improved not only the accuracy of the surgery but also the esthetic outcomes. These computerized systems improved whole system of the surgical planning, surgery itself and evaluation process. The proper application of adequate concept for orthognathic surgery would be the essential for successful results
