of maxillofacial surgery. He trained Richard Trauner, Heinrich Köle, and Hugo Obwegeser and is also famous for operating Sigmund Freud who suffered from oral cancer [1]. The rst bimaxillary surgery to correct malocclusion was described by Heinrich Köle in 1959. He treated a patient with bimaxillary protrusion pattern by performing subapical osteotomies in both jaws [1, 2, 6].
Although the described techniques were pro­gressive at their time, they were commonly asso­ciated with unacceptable complications like relapse, open bite, pseudoarthrosis, and mandib­ular and facial nerve injury [7]. In the words of Hugo Obwegeser, orthognathic surgery consisted of a series of unsatisfying procedures primarily to correct prognathism [7].
In 1952, Richard Trauner, chief of the maxil­lofacial department in Graz, asked Hugo Obwegeser to follow up their cases of Kostecka operations. Obwegeser detected around 50% of unacceptable complications like described above. According to Obwegeser, Richard Trauner assumed that the main issue was inade­quate bony union because of the too small area of contacting bone surfaces of the bone seg­ments [7]. Searching for a technique that would allow for broader contacting bone surfaces to improve ossication of the segments [7], Obwegeser was gaining for an osteotomy with

broad bone contact that could be performed without an external skin incision [7]. However, in these days, an intraoral approach was consid­ered unconceivable because of the risk of infec­tion. Based on his experience in trauma surgery revealing only minimal complications in man­dibular fractures that were treated immediately after the accident, Obwegeser supposed surgical procedure to be nothing more than a controlled trauma expecting it to heal in the same way. Studying a cadaver mandible, the idea of the bilateral sagittal split osteotomy came to his mind [7].
Obwegeser’s rst successful sagittal split case was a prognathic 24-year-old woman. He oper­ated her together with his boss Richard Trauner on April 22, 1953. Obwegeser started on the left side and successfully performed his idea of a sag­ittal split. The other side was operated by Richard Trauner who performed an inverted-L osteotomy. The bone segments were stabilized by circumfer­ential wires, and the patient was put under rigid intermaxillary xation for 6weeks. The patient recovered well from the operation and even fully regained sensory function within 1year post-op. With this case, the transoral sagittal split osteot­omy was born. Obwegeser and Trauner published their concept in 1955, and it would become the most popular technique for the correction of mandibular deformities [1, 7] (Fig.10.2).

The Italian orthodontist Giorgio Dal Pont was a visiting trainee in Zürich. Watching Obwegeser performing a sagittal split osteot­omy, he came up with the idea of changing the lateral corticotomy from the horizontal ramus to the vertical body, and it worked well. After returning to Italy, Dal Pont published his modi­cation in Italian and later in American litera­ture before Obwegeser was able to do it [7, 8]. It might be one of the most famous curiosities in the history of orthognathic surgery, that, at least according to Obwegeser, Dal Pont never per­formed the operation by himself and did not cite and did not even mention Obwegeser as a co­author [7].
The American maxillofacial surgeon Ervin E. Hunsuck modied Obwegeser’s sagittal split osteotomy. He limited the extent of the medial horizontal osteotomy at the level of the lingula just past the entrance of the inferior alveolar nerve [1, 9]. Later on, Jeffrey C.Posnick came up with another modication by putting this limited osteotomy even lower inferior to the lingula [2]. The intention of these modications was to

reduce the risk of a bad split, and especially Hunsuck’s modication is nowadays widely used.
Genioplasty
Until the 1950s, microgenia was treated with onlay techniques by bone and cartilage grafts or alloplastic materials through an extraoral sub­mental approach [2]. However, these procedures were unsatisfying because of complications like asymmetric bone resorption, infection, and dislo­cation of alloplastic materials. The concept of a sliding genioplasty was rstly described by the German surgeon Hofer on a cadaver via an extra­oral approach in 1942 [10]. Obwegeser and Trauner took up the idea and published the rst sliding genioplasty via an intraoral approach in a patient in 1955 [1, 2, 7, 11]. Genioplasty became a standard procedure for prole correction and is nowadays often performed in combination with bimaxillary surgery to gain an ideal aesthetic and functional result. In 2009, Albino Triaca pub-

lished his chin wing osteotomy, which also allows correction of the mandibular plane and the inter­gonial angle [12, 13].
Maxillary Surgery
The techniques to move the maxilla in ideal posi­tion were established years after the mandibular procedures. Lots of patients with a craniofacial deformity, who mainly suffered from midface hypoplasia and retromaxilla, were treated with mandibular setback. Although they gained a correct occlusion, the aesthetic problem of a at midface was not solved [7].
Surgical mobilization of the maxilla was rst reported by Langenbeck in 1859 and by Cheever in 1867in order to gain access to epipharynx and to treat skull base tumors [1, 2, 7]. Techniques to correct craniofacial deformities were described decades later. Martin Wassmund performed the rst detachment of the maxilla in order to treat an anterior open bite in 1927 [1, 2, 7]. After osteot­omy of the maxilla, he used elastics to close the open bite. However, he did not separate the max­illa from the pterygoid processes. Georg Axhausen rst published the successful reposi­tioning of the maxilla in trauma and cleft cases after complete osteotomy of the maxilla with separation of the pterygoid processes in the 1930s [1, 2, 7]. In 1942, Schuchardt detached the max­illa in a post-traumatic war case. In a second operation, he separated the maxilla from the pter­ygoid processes and used weight traction to repo­sition the dislocated maxilla [1, 2, 7].
However, maxillary osteotomy with separa­tion from the pterygoid processes to gain anterior advancement did not become clinical routine until the 1960s. Sir Harold Gillies used horizon­tal vestibular incisions to approach the maxilla. He corrected maxillary deformities in cleft patients by maxillary osteotomy and a greenstick fracture at the pterygoid processes in the early 1950s [1, 2, 7]. Professor Eduard Schmid from Marienhospital Stuttgart in Germany reported maxillary osteotomies for the correction of poste­rior crossbites [2, 14]. Professor Schmid was world famous at this time for inventing numerous
plastic and reconstructive surgical procedures, and Hugo Obwegeser spent part of his training with him at Marienhospital Stuttgart.
In 1964, Hugo Obwegeser was confronted with a complex midface trauma case [7]. An 18-year-old man suffered from a car accident 6weeks before presenting severe anterior open bite and a posterior displaced maxilla with a palatal split [7]. His vestibular mucosa was scarred circumferentially, and he had multiple oronasal stulas [7]. Therefore, Obwegeser could not use his usual approach with vertical vestibular incisions in order to preserve blood supply [7]. Instead, he had to use a circumferen­tial vestibular approach through the old scars [7]. Reposition of the displaced maxilla into correct position was performed by a LeFort I osteotomy with a palatal split of the old fracture [7]. Obwegeser raised the nasal mucosa, detached the septum [7], cut the lateral nasal walls, and separated the maxilla from the ptery­goid processes [7]. When simply pressing rmly on the anterior maxilla with his ngers, the maxilla separated easily [7]. This maneuver was later called the “downfracture technique” [7]. He then intentionally recreated the palatal frac­ture and used curved osteotomes to fully mobi­lize the two maxilla segments [7]. After that, he could move the maxillary segments signicantly anterior and in the correct position to reestablish occlusion [7]. Wire xation was used to secure the maxilla segments [1, 2, 7]. Standard LeFort I osteotomy that is nowadays routinely used in orthognathic surgery was born [7].
The Biological Basis forOrthognathic Surgery
Before William H.Bell investigated the biologi­cal basis for facial osteotomies, there was no bio­logical foundation that supported these considerably unpredictable and risky procedures [2]. With his extensive microangiographic and histologic studies in rabbits and monkeys, William H.Bell established the biological basis for orthognathic surgery [2]. He investigated healing and revascularization of the osteotomy

gap and studied the blood vessels necessary to maintain blood supply to the bone segments and teeth [2]. In 1969, William H.Bell published his famous work and concluded, “no single blood vessel, such as the incisive canal or greater pala­tine arteries, is essential to maintenance of circu­lation to the anterior maxillary fragment” [2]. Later, Bell conducted similar experiments for almost every orthognathic procedure, and his research is considered the biological basis of modern orthognathic surgery. Before his work, these operations were only rarely performed because of the fear over the viability of bone segments and teeth [2]. After establishing safety and predictability of the techniques in Bell’s lab­oratory, orthognathic surgery gained great popu­larity [2].
Bimaxillary Surgery
The rst bimaxillary orthognathic surgery was performed by Heinrich Köle in 1959 [1, 2, 6]. He treated a patient with bimaxillary protrusion with subapical osteotomies in the maxilla and the mandible [1, 2, 6]. As there are many patients in which moving a single jaw with establishing cor­rect occlusion does not lead to a satisfying aes­thetic result, Obwegeser later on promoted the concept of bimaxillary surgery. In 1969, he per­formed the rst simultaneous sagittal splitting of the mandible and a LeFort I osteotomy in a patient [7]. Based on cephalometric radiograph analysis and clinical and aesthetic judgment, the maxillomandibular complex was moved in the planned position. Obwegeser xed the maxilla and the mandible in place with bone grafts and wires, and after the operation, the patients were kept in IMF for 6weeks [7]. In 1968, Hans Luhr invented the concept of modern osteosynthesis with miniplate and screw xation [2, 7, 15]. His work led to another revolution of orthognathic surgery increasing osteotomy stability and limit­ing the need for extended intermaxillary xation [2, 7, 15].
Following these milestones, orthognathic sur­gery became a subspeciality on its own and quickly spread around the world. Orthognathic
surgery gained great popularity, and bimaxillary surgery became a safe and standardized proce­dure, which is nowadays regularly performed in order to improve patient’s occlusion and facial aesthetics.
Craniofacial Surgery andDistraction Osteogenesis
The history of orthognathic surgery is closely related to the development of craniofacial sur­gery. Already in 1950, Harold Gillies published the rst LeFort III osteotomy, but because of the high risk of the operation, he had recommended to others “to never do it” [1, 2, 16]. Later in the 1960s, Paul Tessier performed LeFort III osteoto­mies to treat children with Apert and Crouzon syndrome [1, 2, 17]. During the late 1960 and 1970s, Paul Tessier developed lots of surgical procedures for the correction of craniofacial deformities, and due to his great contribution, he is considered the father of craniofacial surgery [1,
2, 17].
Cesar Guerrero from Venezuela was heavily inuenced by William H. Bell’s biological research. He was the rst to apply the concept of distraction osteogenesis to orthognathic surgery. In 1995, Guerrero performed the rst transoral mandibular distraction osteogenesis to lengthen the lower jaw [2, 18]. Based on his work, distrac­tion osteogenesis gained great popularity for lengthening maxilla and mandible in orthogna­thic procedures [2].
Orthognathic Surgery Today andintheFuture
Another milestone of orthognathic surgery was the application of virtual treatment planning and CAD/CAM technology. Gwen Swennen from Belgium and Jaime Gateno together with James Xia from Texas invented the concept of 3D imag­ing and virtual surgical planning in combination with 3D-printed interocclusal splints to transfer the virtual plan into reality [1, 1923]. Nowadays, orthognathic surgery is routinely performed with

the help of virtual surgical planning, CAD/CAM interocclusal splints, cutting guides, and patient­specic implants. Minimal invasive techniques and modern anesthesiology decreased postopera­tive downtime of patients, and bimaxillary sur­gery is nowadays even offered in an outpatient setting.
A lot has changed since the courageous efforts of the “fathers of orthognathic surgery” in the mid of the nineteenth and the early twentieth cen­turies. However, ongoing research and invention will lead to new paradigm shifts. Maybe aug­mented reality, articial intelligence, and robotic surgery will catapult orthognathic surgery in the next era in the near future.

Malformations (Dysgnathias) inCraniofacially Malformed Patients

Introduction
Malocclusion is a term that focuses on the occlu­sal aspect of dental and skeletal malformations. Malocclusion is one effect of alterations in skull, jaw, or teeth geometry. Such situations are pres­ent in individuals worldwide, resulting in com­promised function and esthetics. This is caused by a growth disturbance during fetal or post-fetal development. Patients with skeletal malocclusion may suffer from dental deformities, bruxism, teeth crowding, trismus, mastication difculties, breathing obstruction, and digestion disturbance if the problem is left untreated. The presence and extent of such dysgnathic situations can be seen as isolated phenotypes or as part of syndromes. Understanding the etiological factors contribut­ing to the variation in craniofacial morphology associated with precise nomenclature of geomet­ric anatomical alterations towards the normal anatomy is the key to classication approaches in craniofacially diseased patients [1]. Advances in craniofacial, jaw, and dental phenotyping, through three-dimensional geometric data acqui­sition by modern imaging techniques, are one prerequisite for a more precise classication of such patients.

To date, none of the existing databases con­tains comprehensive dentofacial data for maloc­clusions (dysgnathias). Therefore, cause-effect correlation studies of malocclusion are greatly needed as the knowledge gained from them will aid in our understanding of the mechanisms responsible for human malocclusions through craniofacial anomalies.
Classication Systems
Malocclusion combined with or without jaw deformities is one of the most prevalent develop­mental anomalies of craniofacial structure. Classication systems were introduced by differ­ent persons or groups (clinicians, researchers, healthcare providers) in order to clarify and dene clinical situations, help to standardize clin­ical treatments, and compare treatment outcomes. Most classication schemes were introduced by dentists or orthodontists [2], some by oral or maxillofacial surgeons, and others by physicians working in the healthcare-providing system. Classication of malocclusion was rst intro­duced by Angle. Dr. Edward H.Angle is consid­ered one of the pioneers in developing the eld of orthodontics. Angle’s classication in 1899 of occlusion was an important step for formal diag­nosis of malocclusion cases towards improving therapeutic approaches. The classication is based on the position of lower molar towards the

upper molar and whether it is distally or mesially positioned. However, the distinction between dental and skeletal malocclusion is not included in his scheme. Later, various classication sys­tems and dentofacial analyses were introduced in clinical practice. Most of them used the term den­tofacial deformities. An anatomical intact skull base is a prerequisite for most of these classica­tion and analysis approaches.
In the analysis of the clinical term dentofacial
deformities, two terms must be dened.
The rst word dentofacial is itself a compound word made by the fusion of two words dental (dento) and face (-facial), meaning of the teeth and face. Based on the literal meaning of the term, one may assume that it embodies all the deformities that affect the teeth and the face. In practice, however, this is not the case [3].
The denition of the second word deformity is more precise, stating that an object has an abnor­mal form, disgurement, or loss of the natural arrangement.
In contrast to the orthodontic based classica­tion of dentofacial deformities, their diagnostics, and the proper treatment protocols, a medical based classication system was introduced to dene the extent (and try to assess and estimate the costs) for the medical (surgical) treatment of such patients. In a lot of countries (like the United States), the most widely used classication sys­tem for jaw deformities in medicine is the one provided by the Centers for Health Statistics (in the United States, e.g., the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the National Center for Health Statistics) [4]. This classication is part of the International Classication of Diseases, Clinical Modication (ICD-CM), a taxonomy scheme that is based on the World Health Organization’s International Classication of Diseases (ICD) [5], the world’s standard diagnos­tic tool for epidemiology, health management, and clinical care. The last iteration of ICD-CM, version 10, sorts jaw deformities according to geometry into three groups: anomalies of jaw size, anomalies of jaw-cranial base relationship, or unspecied.
Gateno’s New Classication System
Gateno and colleagues [3] analyzed in their paper A geometric classication of jaw geometries that the ICD-CM classication as well as most orth­odontic based analysis and classication systems are incomplete and disjointed. They developed a much better classication system. Especially, they introduced a much more precise geometric based nomenclature of deviations from normal. In the following, we refer to their elaborated sys­tem and extend it towards craniofacially diseased patients.
Gateno and colleagues pronounce in their impressive analysis of craniofacial deformation the following:
The denition of deformity is having an abnormal form, disgurement, or loss of the nat­ural arrangement. To diagnose a deformity, they assess an anatomical unit (Fig.11.1) and deter­mines if its conguration (form) is normal or abnormal. Instead of other classication systems, their modern approach to the evaluation of form sees an anatomical unit (e.g., the mandible) as a geometric object. As any other geometric object, an anatomic unit is seen as having basic attri­butes: size, position, orientation, shape, and com­pleteness (Table11.1). Size refers to how large or how small something is. Position refers to its location in space (anterior-posterior, medial­lateral, cranial-caudal). Orientation refers to tilt. Shape refers to gure. Finally, completeness refers to the wholeness. Besides having these attributes, some anatomical units, such as jaws, also have bilateral symmetry. This means that the objects can be divided into two halves, each part being the mirror image of the other. In summary, the jaws have six geometric attributes, which include the ve basics plus symmetry.
Their scheme rst classies jaw deformities as either osseous or dental. Osseous deformities affect the jawbones, while dental deformities affect the teeth.
Jaw deformities are classied according to the attribute they affect. Deformities of size occur when a jaw is too big or too small. The term

hyperplasia indicates pathological enlargement, and hypoplasia failure to attain normal size. Micrognathia is a synonym for mandibular hypo­plasia and macrognathia for mandibular hyper­plasia. The terms macrogenia and microgenia also refer to size, macrogenia indicating large chin and microgenia a small one. Abnormal jaw positions occur in all cardinal directions. Prognathism and retrognathism are deformities characterized by an abnormal anteroposterior position. By convention, the anteroposterior posi­tion is assessed in relation to the cranial base. In prognathism, a jaw is too far forward, while in retrognathism, it is too far back. In the transverse direction, a jaw can be displaced away from the sagittal plane in either direction. This deformity is called laterognathia. Vertically, a jaw can be too far down or too far up. In excessive down­ward displacement, a jaw is too far down. In

insufcient downward displacement, it is too far up. Malrotations occur when a jaw is abnormally oriented. We classify malrotations according to the axis on which the abnormal rotation occurs. A jaw that is abnormally rotated around the trans­verse facial axis has a pitch malrotation. A jaw that is abnormally rotated around the anteropos­terior axis has a roll malrotation, a condition that is also known as canting. A maxilla or a mandible that is abnormally rotated around the vertical axis has a yaw malrotation. Shape refers to gure. A jaw with abnormal gure is said to be distorted.
The human face has reection symmetry around one plane, the sagittal. For facial symme­try to exist, two conditions must be met. First, each of the units that compose the face must itself be symmetrical—a condition called object sym­metry. Second, each of the units must be sym­metrically aligned to the sagittal plane—a condition called symmetric alignment. Jaws can have deformities of symmetry either because of object asymmetry or because of misalignment. The terms mandibular asymmetry and maxillary asymmetry refer to abnormalities in object sym­metry. The term asymmetric alignment denotes abnormal alignment that causes asymmetry. The term completeness refers to the wholeness of the jaw. A jaw can be incomplete because one of its processes (apophysis) never developed. An

example is agenesis of the condylar process of the mandible seen in hemifacial microsomia. It can also be incomplete because some of its embryologic processes failed to fuse (cleft), or because it acquired a defect.
As stated above, jaw deformities can also affect the teeth. Gateno’s classication scheme only considers dental deformities that engender malocclusion (Table 11.2). Malocclusion can result when one or more teeth are disarranged in their dental arch. Alternatively, it can result when the upper and lower dental arches are not coordi­nated. Within a dental arch, a deformity may affect the alignment, the leveling, or the spacing of teeth. Alignment refers to the arrangement of teeth in an arch. In ideal alignment, the incisal edges of the incisors and the buccal-cuspal ridges of the canines, premolars, and molars form an arch. Misalignment can happen because of dental displacement, dental tipping, or dental rotations. In displacement, a tooth is moved outside the arch. In tipping, a tooth is abnormally inclined. In rotations, a tooth is misaligned because of abnor­mal rotation around its long axis.
Leveling refers to the vertical arrangement of teeth. Abnormal leveling can affect a single tooth or the whole arch. For this assessment, one mea­sures the vertical position of the teeth in relation to their occlusal plane. In other words, one mea­sures the vertical positions of the lower teeth in relation to the mandibular occlusal plane and the vertical positions of the upper teeth in relation to the maxillary occlusal plane. An individual tooth is in infraocclusion or supraocclusion when it is located below or above its ascribed occlusal
plane. For a whole dental arch, once judge’s den­tal leveling by gauging the curve of Spee. From the central incisor backward to the last molar, the cusps of all teeth should inscribe either a at plane or a curved plane with slightly upward con­cavity. Dental deformity can create a deep or a reverse curve of Spee. A curve of Spee is deep when the cusps of the teeth trace a plane with a sharp upward curvature. The curve of Spee is reversed when the curvature of the plane has downward concavity.
Within a dental arch, the teeth should be nor­mally spaced: adjacent teeth should touch with­out crowding each other. Spacing is abnormal when diastemas are present or when the arch can­not accommodate the teeth. The rst condition is excessive dental spacing and the second dental crowding.
As stated above, dental deformities can also occur when the upper and lower arches are not harmonized. For normal occlusion to occur, it is not enough for the upper and lower teeth to be normally arranged in an arch. The upper and lower dental arches must also be coordinated, in position, in shape, and in tooth size. Discordant dental arch positions cause malocclusion. This lack of concordance can occur in all the cardinal directions: anteroposterior, vertical, and trans­verse. We appraise the anteroposterior occlusal relationships at three different sites. These are at the rst molar, canine, and central incisors. In this appraisal, the frame of reference is the upper dentition.
Position discordance between the upper and lower dental arches also occurs in the vertical

direction. Absence of vertical overlap between the upper and lower teeth produces an open bite. It can be anterior or posterior. Excessive vertical overlap of the anterior teeth results in deep bite. Excessive vertical overlap of the posterior teeth results in posterior bite collapse. The last condi­tion can only occur when posterior teeth are missing, and the remaining teeth have no oppos­ing occlusion. Finally, discordance between the maxillary and mandibular dental arches can also occur in the transverse dimension. Normally, the buccal cusps of the maxillary posterior teeth lay laterally to the buccal cusps of the mandibular teeth. When the reverse occurs, we encounter a posterior crossbite. In extreme cases, all the lower teeth can be inside the upper, a condition known as Brodie bite. Reversely, the upper teeth can be inside the lower, a condition known as scissor bite. As mentioned before, the upper and lower arches can also occlude abnormally because they have different shapes. For example, a “U”-shaped lower arch does not t a “V”-shaped upper. The lack of shape congruency between the upper and lower teeth results in arch shape dis­cordance. Finally, to get good dental interdigita­tion in class I occlusion, the width (mesio-distal size) of the lower teeth must be proportional to the width of the upper teeth. When this propor­tionality is absent, the dental arches have a tooth size discrepancy.
Gateno and colleagues introduced a precise and accurate nomenclature of jaw deformities. They replaced the terms vertical-maxillary-
excess and vertical-maxillary-deciency. As the terms excess and deciency denote size, yet clin­ically, one establishes vertical “excess” or verti­cal “deciency” by measuring the distance between the central incisors and the lip. They stated precisely that metric measures position, not size. They created new terms: excessive downward displacement and insufcient down­ward displacement, which harmonize with geom­etry. They also adopted the term malrotation for deformities of orientation. Roll malrotation is substituted for cant, canting, occlusal cant, and maxillary cant. Yaw malrotation is substituted for yaw. And pitch malrotation is substituted for terms like steep occlusal plane, at occlusal plane, and steep mandible. Roll and yaw malrota­tions can be right or left. In roll, right or left tells us the side where teeth are lower, like an airplane that is rolling to the right will have its right wing down. For yaw, right or left species where max­illa is pointing—when the pointer of its antero­posterior axis is towards the incisors. Pitch malrotation can be excessive or insufcient. In excessive pitch malrotation, the inclination of the jaws is steep. In insufcient pitch malrotation, the inclination is shallow, at, or reversed. Their nal alteration of the current terminology is to use distinctive terms to distinguish between the two different types of asymmetries: plain asym­metry which refers to object (intrinsic) asymme­try and the qualied term asymmetric alignment, which refers to jaw misalignment in relation to the sagittal plane of the face (Fig.11.2).
