PurposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate soft tissue changes after intraoral quadrangular Le Fort II osteotomy (IOQLFII) and correlate those changes to underlying osseous changes.Materials and MethodsTwenty-six non-growing patients with midfacial deficiency and Class III malocclusion were analyzed. A study group of 13 patients who underwent IOQLFII was compared with 13 patients who underwent conventional Le Fort I osteotomy (LFI). After fusion of pre- and postoperative computed tomograms, each patient's hard and corresponding soft tissue changes were measured. Measurement points were defined at 3 levels in the IOQLFII group (infraorbital rim [IR], sinus floor [SF], and lateral incisor tip [LI]) and at 2 levels in the LFI group (SF and LI). Linear models were created to test for correlations between hard and soft tissues.ResultsThe slope (a1 coefficient) between anteroposterior hard and soft tissue changes was found to be highly significant at each measurement point for all groups. In the IOQLFII group, soft tissue advancement was 69% (confidence interval [CI], 62 to 77%) of the hard tissue advancement at the IR, 90% (CI, 84 to 96%) at the SF, and 73% (CI, 64 to 82%) at the LI. In the LFI group, the corresponding percentages were 90% (83 to 97%) at SF and 84% (77 to 90%) at LI.ConclusionIOQLFII results in predictable correction of midfacial deficiency. At the IR, bony advancement always resulted in markedly less soft tissue advancement than at the SF level. These results indicate that the planned infraorbital advancement should not be too conservative because soft tissue changes are smaller in this region.
