Soft Tissue Profile

In orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, soft tissue profile assessment is of prime importance. Due to the emerging soft tissue paradigm, greater emphasis has been given to the clinical examination of soft tissue function and esthetics. Various cephalometric and photographic methods were introduced in the past to assess and measure profile angle and other facial angles. Our new device, that is, profilometer, helps to measure profile angle clinically.

Soft Tissue Profile

One of the most important components of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning is the evaluation of the patient’s soft tissue profile. The main purpose of this study was to develop soft-tissue cephalometric standards for Turkish men and women and compare them with the cephalometric standards of normal European-American white people. The sample included 96 Turkish adults (48 women, 48 men), aged 20 to 27 years. Turkish subjects have increased facial convexity associated with retruded mandible, more obtuse lower face-throat angle, increased nasolabial angle and upper lip protrusion, deeper mentolabial sulcus, and smaller interlabial gap compared with European-American white people. It is appropriate to consider these differences during routine diagnosis and treatment planning of a Turkish patient or an American patient of European ancestry. Turkish males reveal more obtuse mandibular prognathism and upper lip protrusion, and smaller nasolabial angle than females.

Soft Tissue Changes

Introduction: The soft tissue aspect in orthodontics treatment has gained attention in the last few years. The soft tissue profile is said to reflect the underlying skeletal profile, which causes a convex profile in patients with class II skeletal malocclusion. This research was aimed to determine the changes in the soft tissue facial profile of class II skeletal malocclusion patients with retrognathic mandible after twin block treatment. Methods: The type of research used in this study was retrospective descriptive research with paired t-test. The population was children aged 10-13 years old with class II skeletal malocclusion that were treated with twin block appliance in the Faculty of Dentistry Universitas Padjadjaran, Indonesia. The results of soft tissue changes before and after twin block treatment were compared. Results: There was an insignificant increase in soft tissue profile angle and Holdaway’s soft tissue angle after twin block treatment (p > 0.05). Whereas, Holdaway’s H-angle was decreasing and Merrifield’s Z-angle was increasing after twin block treatment, with statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). Conclusion: There was a decrease of H-angle, indicates a reduction in facial convexity and improvement of the facial profile after twin block treatment, but no difference in soft tissue profile angle and Holdaway’s soft tissue angle after twin block treatment. Keywords: Facial soft tissue profile, class II skeletal malocclusion, retrognathic mandible, twin block appliance

Introduction: Patients with skeletal class III have typical characteristics of soft tissue profile. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine characteristics of soft tissue profile in patients with skeletal class III and to find possible significant differences between these patients and patients in the control group (without malocclusion in sagittal direction). Methods: Twenty patients of the Department of Orthodontics, Belgrade School of Dentistry, were included in this study. Average age in this group was 8 years and 5 months. In experimental group there were 13 girls and 7 boys. Changes in soft tissue profile by clinical examination, photographic and cephalometric analysis were determinated during the whole diagnostic procedure. In the clinical examination, type of profile, characteristics of lips, facial harmony in vertical direction and the angle of mandibular plane were analyzed. On lateral cephalometrics, the following parameters were measured and analyzed: sagittal parameters SNA, SNB and ANB and parameters in Schwarz, Ricketts and Holdaway analysis of soft tissue profile. Results: Patients in the experimental group had significantly different changes in soft tissue profile. It was the consequence of existing skeletal malocclusion in sagittal direction. Statistically, differences were significant (p<0.01) Conclusion: Measurements and analysis showed that patients had typical severe concave profile. Most often, the position of soft tissue structures did not compensate skeletal anomalies.

Soft Tissue Modeling

The ongoing pursuit of aesthetic excellence in the field of implant therapy has incorporated prosthetic concepts in the early treatment-planning phase, as well as the previously discussed surgical concepts. The literature has addressed these prosthetic and laboratory approaches required to enhance and perfect the soft and hard tissue management (SHTM). After surgically providing an acceptable hard tissue architecture and adequate timing of loading of the implant, the prosthetic phase is responsible for the soft tissue modeling, through correctly planned and executed procedures, which induce a satisfactory soft tissue profile by considering the microvasculature, the abutment connection and positioning, and the implementation of an adequate provisional phase. The objectives are the modeling of the soft tissues through the use of a conforming periorestorative interface which will produce desired and stable results.

ABSTRACT Objective: To study the longitudinal changes in 19 soft tissue cephalometric traits (according to the Bergman cephalometric soft tissue facial analysis). Materials and Methods: Cephalograms and photographs of 40 subjects (20 male, 20 female, from the Burlington Growth Centre) that were obtained at ages 6, 9, 12, 14, 16, and 18 years were used. Subjects were orthodontically untreated whites and had Class I dentoskeletal relationships (ideal overjet and overbite). Images were obtained with the lips in a relaxed position or lightly touching. Results: Three groups of soft tissue traits were identified: (1) traits that increased in size with growth (nasal projection, lower face height, chin projection, chin-throat length, upper and lower lip thickness, upper lip length, and lower lip–chin length); (2) traits that decreased in size with growth (interlabial gap and mandibular sulcus contour [only in females]); and (3) traits that remained relatively constant during growth (facial profile angle, nasolabial angle, lower face percentage, chin-throat/lower face height percentage, lower face–throat angle, upper incisor exposure, maxillary sulcus contour, and upper and lower lip protrusion). Conclusion: Current findings identify areas of growth and change in individuals with Class I skeletal and dental relationships with ideal overjet and overbite and should be considered during treatment planning of orthodontic and orthognathic patients.

Objective: Identifying the characteristics of soft-tissue profiles in 3-5 year old children. Methods: Children that participated in the study were selected from the 6 major districts of Ankara. In the selected schools,3-5 year old 1513 children with primary dentition were examined and profile photographs were obtained. Facial convexity angle (FCA) and Total facial convexity angle (TFCA) were measured from profile photographs.Results: The mean values for the total facial convexity (145.9° ±4.2) and facial convexity(165.3° ±4.5) angles were determined. FCA and TFCA were significantly influenced by primary second molar terminal plane relationship. Conclusion: Finding of this study may be used as clinical references for pediatric dental patients and also, the significant relationship between soft tissue profile and primary occlusion is important for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment of pediatric dental patients.
