Midface Hypoplasia and Cranial Base Morphology in Syndromic Craniosynostosis: A Comparative Analysis Study Using a Predictive Regression Model
Published on: November 4, 2025
Diagnosing long face syndrome relies on subjective impressions, not just measurements. Surgical interventions for long face syndrome include maxillary impaction, chin reduction, and occlusal plane rotation.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Orthodontics
- Craniofacial Surgery
Background:
- Traditional cephalometric analysis offers numerous approaches to vertical facial proportions.
- Accurate diagnosis of vertical facial issues hinges on subjective perceptions rather than objective measurements.
- The 'long face' appearance can result from various factors, including vertical maxillary hyperplasia, open bite, and mandibular hyperplasia.
Purpose of the Study:
- To emphasize the importance of subjective assessment in diagnosing vertical facial discrepancies.
- To outline the diagnostic considerations and surgical management strategies for Long Face Syndrome.
Main Methods:
- Clinical planning involves 3D simulation.
- Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) is used for surgical splint generation.
Main Results:
- Surgical management strategies for Long Face Syndrome were identified.
- These strategies can be employed in isolation or combination.
Conclusions:
- Surgical interventions for Long Face Syndrome may include maxillary impaction.
- Vertical chin reduction and counterclockwise rotation of the occlusal plane are also viable surgical options.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
