Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

1.5K
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Facial Surgery

Background:

  • Genioplasty is a common aesthetic procedure for chin correction.
  • Various techniques exist, including osteotomy, implants, and fillers.
  • Surgeon's choice is influenced by biological and economic factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a decision-making protocol for correcting chin microgenia.
  • To analyze outcomes based on a review of 345 treated cases.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 345 chin microgenia cases.
  • Categorization into sliding genioplasty (135 patients), alloplastic implants (60 patients), and hyaluronic acid fillers (150 patients).
  • Evaluation of clinical indications, complications, and 3-year aesthetic results.

Main Results:

  • Sliding genioplasty demonstrated greater predictability and stable long-term aesthetic results.
  • Factors influencing outcomes include sagittal defect size, soft-tissue thickness, patient age, and self-judgment.
  • Comparison favored sliding genioplasty over alloplastic implants and fillers.

Conclusions:

  • A simple, versatile protocol for chin microgenia treatment is proposed.
  • The protocol aims to simplify therapeutic indications.
  • The goal is to achieve predictable and stable long-term aesthetic results.
