Morphometry of the Nasolabial Complex in Adult Indian Population
IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences, 2013Co-Authors: Ankit Srivastav, Latha V. PrabhuAbstract:II. Methods The procedure of measuring the lip-nose complex was explained to each individual resulting in the accurate measurements due to lack of anxiety on the part of individual. The morphometry was done on 100 adults (age range: 18-45 yrs). Among them 44 were males and 56 were females. The parameters like vertical lip height, Cupids Bow width, total width of the mouth, columellar height, columellar width, nasal width and dome height were measured. The measurements were repeatedly taken for each individual to ensure the accuracy. The points of lip-nose complex were marked using marking pen (Fig. 1) and the linear measurements were taken using digital vernier caliper. The vertical height of the lip was from the columellar base to Cupids Bow peak. This parameter was chosen against base of columella to tubercle since it has significance in cleft lip surgery. The Cupids Bow width was measured from philtrum peak to peak. The total width of mouth was the commissure to commissure distance.

Cheiloplasty by Pfeifer's Technique
Journal of Cleft Lip Palate and Craniofacial Anomalies, 2017Co-Authors: Rayadurgam Venkata Kishore Kumar, Y Sivanagendra ReddyAbstract:Introduction: Cleft lip repair is done usually between the ages of 3rd–5th month of life. Millard's and Tennison techniques are usually used worldwide which are modified Z-plasty techniques at the superior and inferior ends of the philtrum, respectively. Wave-line incision method was introduced by Pfeifer (1970) and the available literature shows that it is an easy technique, applicable to almost all types of clefts. Hence, the study was undertaken to evaluate the results of this method. Patients and Methods: The study was carried out in a total of 701 patients, of which 572 were unilateral cleft lips and 129 were bilateral lips. According to this method, the lip skin incision modified into a wavy line, thus making it less conspicuous using the concept of “morphological order.” The basis of this is that a skin incision between two points can be lengthened if both points are joined in a curve or wavelike manner rather than in a straight line. Results: The results were evaluated for white roll match, vermilion match, Cupids Bow, and nasal symmetry after cleft repair and found to be excellent with 93.5%, 92.4%, 94%, and 81%, respectively, in unilateral cleft lip variety, good with 75.9%, 71%, 82%, and 87.5%, in bilateral cleft lip variety. Conclusion: This method is not a new technique, but the literature is not available. The technique is found to be good and useful in all clefts, also in revision surgeries and also found to be clinically as well as statistically significant.

Anthropometric measurement of the lip-nose complex among young adults in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
2011Co-Authors: Durairajanayagam ShamalaAbstract:The lip-nose complex is an important aesthetic subunit of the mid and lower face. To date, there is no published data on lip-nose complex anthropometry for the Malaysian population. This cross sectional descriptive study aims to establish the norms of the lip-nose complex among Malaysian Malays, Chinese and Indians and to compare the transgender and transethnic variation between them. Seven parameters of the lip-nose complex namely mouth width, Cupids Bow width, columellar width, nasal width, lip height, columellar height and dome height were measured using standard anthropometric measurement tools. Three hundred sixteen-year-olds were randomly selected from three schools in Kuala Lumpur, with equal gender and ethnic distribution. Results obtained showed that all seven parameters the lip-nose complex in Malay, Chinese and Indian males were consistently larger than their respective female counterparts (p0.05). Malays and Chinese differed in all parameters except Cupids Bow width. Malays and Indians only differed in mouth width and nasal width. Chinese and Indians differed in lip height and dome height. Malays and Chinese show differences in their lip-nose complex profile despite having originated from the East Asian continent. Malays and Indians differed in width measures, while the Chinese and Indians differed in height measures. The variation of anthropological measurements among the three ethnic groups reinforces the need to have individualized norms. These findings form a baseline for future studies that are age based which would then serve as an invaluable guide to the reconstructive surgeon especially when dealing with unilateral and bilateral cleft lip repairs
