Erratum to: Nasal Profile Changes Following Anterior Maxillary Segmental Osteotomy: A Lateral Cephalometric Study

摘要

PurposeOrthognathic surgery in reference to the maxilla attempts to correct underlying skeletal deformities and improve function. Consequently, it has the potential to significantly alter the central esthetic unit of the face, the nasolabial region. In order to evaluate the nasal morphological changes which would result following anterior maxillary segmental osteotomy (superior and posterior repositioning), four angles, namely nasolabial, nasal tip projection, columellar labial and supra tip break angle, were evaluated.
