The purpose of craniomaxillofacial surgery is to improve function, occlusion, craniofacial balance, and aesthetics. Accurate diagnosis, assessment, and careful treatment planning are essential in achieving a successful outcome, and an understanding of the pattern of facial growth is integral in this process. Patients with craniofacial congenital dysmorphologies, posttraumatic asymmetries, or disturbances of facial balance from radiation may have functional and/or aesthetic issues that require treatment. Understanding the complexities of growth in the skull and face is a key component to appropriate treatment planning for these disorders. This article reviews growth and development in the craniofacial skeleton.
颅颌面外科手术的目的是改善功能、咬合、颅面平衡和美观。准确的诊断、评估以及精心的治疗计划对于取得成功的治疗效果至关重要，而了解面部生长模式是这一过程中不可或缺的一部分。患有颅面先天性畸形、创伤后不对称或放疗引起的面部平衡紊乱的患者可能存在需要治疗的功能和/或美观问题。了解颅骨和面部生长的复杂性是针对这些病症进行适当治疗计划的关键组成部分。本文综述了颅面骨骼的生长与发育。
