Abstract:
Introduction: While measurement of nasolabial angle and mentolabial angle is an important clinical examination in pre-orthognathic surgery assessment, data on non-western population is limited. This study was therefore conducted to determine the range of nasolabial angle and mentolabial angle in normal Malaysian adult with comparison of males and females. Materials and Methods: A total of 50 Class I males and 52 Class I females aged 19-30 years from three main ethnic groups were randomly selected from dental students, medical students and staffs in dental clinic of Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM). The photographic set-up consisted of a 50mm Nikon DAT camera held in position by a tripod. The photos taken in JPEG format were digitalized and analysed using ProVixwin software. Independent t-test was used to compare any possible gender difference in nasolabial and mentolabial angles. Results: The mean of nasolabial angle and mentolabial angle for male was 92.99? and 130.44? whereas for females it was 95.04? and 130.73? respectively. Gender differences were found to be insignificant for both nasolabial angle and mentolabial angle. Conclusion: Despite having great variation in our population, the nasolabial angle and mentolabial angle are gender independent.

Abstract:
Introduction: Investigators have drawn nasolabial angle using different soft tissue landmarks. This has created confusion among the orthodontic students and clinicians regarding its construction.Objective: To evaluate two commonly used methods of constructing the nasolabial angle in order to establish a single reproducible method. Materials & Method: Lateral cephalograms of 120 patients undergoing orthodontic treatment were obtained from the records of the patients. Soft tissue profile on the lateral cephalograms were traced manually by the principal investigator. All the tracings were photocopied and 6 copies of each tracing were made. Nasolabial angles were constructed and measured on photocopied copies of the tracings first using the anatomic point method and then using the tangent line method by the principal investigator and another investigator independently. Result: The average nasolabial angle values for anatomic point method and tangent line method were found to be 94.32° ± 14.05° and 92.4° ± 14.59° respectively. The intra-class correlation coefficient demonstrated excellent intra-observer and interobserver agreement among the two methods of nasolabial angle construction.Conclusion: Both anatomic point method and tangent line method of nasolabial angle construction have excellent reproducibility in terms of intra-observer and inter-observer agreement.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Setting the angle of tip rotation is of utmost importance in achieving satisfactory results in rhinoplasty. Conventionally the upward rotation of the tip requires shortening of the septum by caudal resection and shortening of the lateral walls by cephalic trim of the alar cartilages. The results are usually assessed subjectively. We describe the use of objective parameters to ensure accuracy of nasal tip rotation in patients operated with “cock-up” alar cartilage flaps, a modification of the cephalic trim. Methods Fifteen patients with a long nose having adequate width of lateral crura, desiring a shorter nose with upward tip rotation, were included in the study. Values of preoperative and desired nasolabial angle (from morphed images), and the derived columellar–labial angle were documented. Nasal tip rotation was set to the derived angle and maintained using cock-up alar cartilage flaps. The outcome was evaluated by digital measurements of the nasolabial angle and patients’ feedback by Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE) score. Results Satisfactory tip rotation and an aesthetic supratip area could be achieved. The difference in preoperative and postoperative nasolabial angles was statistically significant (p value < 0.0001). The difference in desired and the obtained nasolabial angle was not significant (p value 0.085). The results were maintained on subsequent follow-up. Conclusion Application of angles in practice and use of K-wire template helps us achieve accurate and consistent results. Cock-up flap is an effective technique—to obtain an open nasolabial angle and a desirable supratip region by making use of tissues otherwise discarded.

Abstract:
Introdução: A estética facial é, cada vez mais, uma característica física desejável em todas as sociedades. As pessoas são instantaneamente julgadas como sendo atrativas ou não. A perceção individual da atratividade pode ser influenciada por uma variedade de fatores físicos, fisiológicos e sociais. E a procura de tratamento ortodôntico está cada vez mais relacionada com o desejo de melhorar a estética facial e de alcançar uma face harmoniosa. Dois fatores relevantes na perceção da atratividade do perfil facial são o ângulo nasolabial e a convexidade facial. Este estudo tem como objetivo determinar o limiar em que os valores dos mesmos se tornam clinicamente significativos e esteticamente relevantes, em indivíduos de raça caucasiana e nacionalidade portuguesa, comparando as diferenças entre profissionais de medicina dentária e leigos, e o impacto destas características tendo em conta o género e o histórico de tratamento ortodôntico. Metodologia: Procedeu-se à manipulação de fotografias de dois indivíduos, um do género feminino e outro do género masculino, considerados esteticamente normais segundo os padrões correntes, alterando as características em estudo. Posteriormente, foram dispostas aleatoriamente e separadas por grupos, segundo o género e a característica. Foi pedido a 50 leigos e 50 médicos dentistas que ordenassem as fotografias de cada grupo segundo uma escala de ranking. Resultados: O género e histórico de tratamento ortodôntico não tiveram impacto na classificação da atratividade facial. Ambos os grupos em estudo atribuíram à fotografia padrão ou uma manipulação muito reduzida da mesma uma média mais elevada de atratividade, e às fotografias que representavam o extremo atribuíram médias mais baixas. Verificou-se que os médicos dentistas eram mais severos a classificar as fotografias com manipulações mais altas e mais generosos a classificar as fotografias padrão ou uma manipulação muito reduzida da mesma. Conclusão: Tanto o ângulo nasolabial como a convexidade facial são fatores que influenciam o equilíbrio total do perfil facial e as discrepâncias severas foram facilmente detetadas por ambos os grupos e consideradas pouco estéticas. Durante o planeamento e ponderação de um tratamento ortodôntico é fundamental incluir e respeitar a opinião e as expectativas do paciente.
Introduction: Facial attractiveness is becoming a desirable physical characteristic in all societies. People are instantly judged as being attractive or not. The individual perception of attractiveness can be influenced by a variety of physical, physiological, and social factors. The demand for orthodontic treatment is increasingly related to the desire to improve the facial attractiveness and achieve a harmonious face. Two relevant factors for the perception of facial profile attractiveness are the nasolabial angle and the facial convexity. The aim of this study is to determine the threshold where they become clinically significant and aesthetically relevant in Caucasian and Portuguese people, comparing the differences between dentists and laypersons, and also the impact of these characteristics on gender, and also taking account the orthodontic treatment history. Methods: Using photographs of a female and a male, aesthetically considered normal according to current standards, the features under study quere manipulated and randomly organized. Then they were randomly arranged and separated by groups according to gender and characteristic. It was asked to 50 laypersons and 50 dentists to order the photos of each group according to a ranking scale. Results: Gender and orthodontic treatment history had no impact on the facial attractiveness ranking. Both study groups assigned to the standard picture or a very small manipulation a higher average of attractiveness, and to the photographs representing the extreme attributes they assigned a lower average. It was found that dentists were more severe in classifying the pictures with higher manipulations and more generous in rating the default images or the ones with small manipulation. Conclusion: Both the nasolabial angle and the facial convexity are factors that influence the total balance of facial profile. As a consequence, the severe discrepancies easily detected by both groups were regarded as less aesthetics. During the planning and deliberation of an orthodontic treatment, it is vital to include and respect the beliefs and expectations of the patient.

Abstract:
Reconstructions of body, extremity and facial resurfacing facial defects are common encounters in plastic surgery. It may be owing to trauma, burn injury, tumor, congenital anomalies, miscellaneous kinds of malignancies. The face has its specific landmarks: the forehead, eyebrows, eyes with upper and lower eyelids, orbit, midface (nose, maxilla, zygoma), upper lip, cheeks, nasolabial folds, lower face (lower lip, mandible with angle), oral mucosa (buccal mucosa, upper lip sulcus, lower lip sulcus), mentum, and neck. Anatomical landmarks include forehead, eyebrow, and eyelids: upper/lower, orbit, midface: nose, maxilla, upper lip, nasolabial folds, and zygoma. Lower face: lower lip, mandible, oral mucosa, buccal mucosa, upper lip sulcus, lower lip sulcus. Strategic approaches include the following: tissue expansion, resection of tumor, and repair with resurfacing, repair of multilayer defect repair for functional purpose. Reconstruction for trauma is commonly encountered in the daily practice in plastic surgery. The trauma may be caused by miscellaneous causes, including traffic accident, fall, cutting, avulsion, contusion, electrical injuries, irradiation injuries, chemical injuries, etc., resulting in disfigurement, deformity and functional disabilities. The strategic approach is to achieve anatomical restoration, functional rehabilitation and aesthetic refinements for the afflicted individuals. Pursuing excellence in plastic surgery, bringing excellence to life is always the ultimate goal for plastic surgeons.

Abstract:
Facial rhytidectomy is a rejuvenative surgical procedure designed to improve the aging changes in the lower third of the face and neck. It can significantly improve jowling, the jaw line, and the portion of the neck from the hyoid bone to the jaw line (the cervicomental angle). It is less successful at improving the midface or nasolabial folds. Rhytidectomy optimizes the age-appropriate aesthetic but does not stop the normal aging progression after surgery. While a wellperformed rhytidectomy is extremely gratifying for both patient and surgeon, it is elective and invasive, with prolonged rehabilitation and potential morbidity. Complications are poorly tolerated, and therefore pitfalls should be meticulously avoided. Fundamental steps in facial rhytidectomy include incision planning, skin flap dissection, addressing the superficial musculo-aponeurotic system (SMAS) and platysma, liposuction or direct lipectomy, skin redraping, and wound closure. These are standard in lower-third facial and neck rejuvenation. Face lifting is an imperfect procedure: the surgeon takes advantage of camouflaged incisions and healing patterns to obtain optimal rejuvenation. The facial anatomy of the lower third of the face and neck is complex but may be best viewed in a layered approach. Facial skin varies in thickness, with eyelid skin being the thinnest and cheek skin the thickest. The skin of the face is nourished via a dermal plexus, which must be maintained in rhytidectomy surgery. Beneath the skin lies facial subcutaneous fat. This fat is lobulated and enclosed by fibrous septa, which connect the superficial fascia to the dermis. The thickest portion of subcutaneous fat is the malar fat pad, bounded by the infraorbital rim above, the nasolabial fold medially, and the zygomaticus major muscle laterally. Minimal subcutaneous fat is located in the lower eyelid region and in the perioral region. Below the level of the subcutaneous fat is the SMAS. This fibromuscular sheet is continuous with the superficial temporalis fascia and galea cranially and the platysma muscle caudally. The SMAS envelops and connects the superficial mimetic muscles to the dermis, expanding the range of facial expression to the skin via distribution of force.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the physiological changes that occur in the last weeks and days of life, and how this understanding can help in providing better care for patients and families. Starting in the last months of life with an accelerating course in the last several weeks, patients with advanced illnesses typically develop a characteristic decline in their physical function, nutritional status, respiratory function, and cognition as a result of progressive cancer and acute symptomatic complications. These changes correspond with worsening performance status, anorexia-cachexia, breathlessness, and delirium, which are prognostic factors in patients with advanced illnesses. In the last days of life, other physiological changes involving the neurological, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems become apparent. The presence of telltale signs such as non-reactive pupils, Cheyne–Stokes breathing, inability to close eyelids, grunting of vocal cords, respiration with mandibular movement, death rattle, drooping of nasolabial fold, pulselessness of radial artery, hyperextension of neck, and decreased urine output significantly increase the likelihood of impending death within 3 days, although the absence of these signs cannot rule out impending death. Physiological monitoring such as vital signs, phase angle, cardiac electrophysiology, and bispectral index may provide further insights into the dying process.
