TWO STEP SURGICAL CORRECTION OF PROMINENT MANDIBULAR ANGLE VIA INTRAORAL APPROACH WITH TRANS-SUBMANDIBULAR CHANNEL
Abstract
- The square face with prominent mandibular angles projects a strong and musculine impression, which is not preferred by most Koreans(may be orientals). Therefore, requests for contouring the prominent mandibular angle are much more common in the orient than in the west. In our study, we treated seven patients with esthetic problem due to prominent mandibular angle using two-step method with intraoral approach via trans- submandibular channel. The advantages of this method are easy measuring, minimized surgical trauma and shortening of the operation time by facilitation of instrumenial application via trans-sumandibular channel.
