Why it matters for dental
Oral-maxillofacial surgeons and orthodontists now have quantitative 3-D data on hard- and soft-tissue changes after genioplasty for microgenia, which can refine pre-operative planning and patient counseling in practices offering corrective jaw surgery.
Key points
- Peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (JOMS) 6 Oct 2026.
- Authors used cone-beam CT to measure three-dimensional hard- and soft-tissue changes in microgenia patients undergoing genioplasty.
- Provides specific cephalometric reference values that can guide surgical planning and post-operative expectations for patients with microgenia.
