Variations of total vertical maxillary excess.

S A Schendel, A E Carlotti

    Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery : Official Journal of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons
    |August 1, 1985

    Summary

    The long-face syndrome, a common malformation, presents in six distinct variations, not previously recognized. These variations, often linked to vertical chin excess, may stem from different developmental causes.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Orthodontics
    • Craniofacial Surgery

    Background:

    • The etiology of long-face syndrome (vertical maxillary excess) is poorly understood, with limited recognition of its variations.
    • Facial malformations require precise classification for effective treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and classify previously unrecognized variations of vertical maxillary excess.
    • To investigate the potential for differing pathogeneses among these variations.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 50 lateral cephalometric radiographs from patients undergoing vertical maxillary reduction.
    • Application of Delaire's architectural and structural analysis for detailed craniofacial assessment.

    Main Results:

    • Identification of six distinct subgroups within vertical maxillary excess.
    • The classically described long-face syndrome was the most common type.
    • A significant proportion of cases exhibited associated vertical mandibular chin excess, with some variations characterized by short upper lips and normal maxillas.

    Conclusions:

    • Vertical maxillary excess presents with significant, previously unrecognized variations.
    • These identified variations, including those secondary to vertical chin excess, suggest diverse underlying pathogeneses.
    • Further research into the specific origins of each variation is warranted.
