Some techniques for the treatment of mandibular protrusion with consideration for aesthetic improvement of the face as a whole are described. The aesthetic inferiority complex in the mind of patients with masticatory disorders as the chief complaint should not be underestimated. Three techniques were used in this study; preoperative orthodontic treatment, preservation of the patient's self-image, and maintenance of beautiful relationship between the midfacial line and the nasolabial fold as well as the nasal ala.

The mobile tongue and the suprahyoid muscles were reconstructed in a man who had had a total resection of the mobile tongue with the oral floor and bilateral radical neck dissection (extensive resection of the bilateral suprahyoid muscles) for cancer of the tongue. A rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap with the tenth intercostal nerve anastomosed to the remaining hypoglossal nerve was used for the reconstruction. The rectus abdominis muscle was inserted between the mandible and the hyoid bone, taking account of the anatomical positions of the tongue and suprahyoid muscles; the rectus sheath was then firmly sutured to the mandible and hyoid bone. This procedure created firm tendinous insertions between the mandible and hyoid bone. After the operation, the reconstructed tongue showed no sign of atrophy, and the reconstructed suprahyoid muscles (rectus abdominis muscle) could be moved, and the hyoid bone could be raised. © 2001 The British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
