Objective To investigate the aesthetic relations and internal regularities in normal craniofacial stereoscopic architecture. Methods By means of computer aided three dimensional measurement and analysis, a study on morphological features and inter relations of the cranio orbitozygomatic maxilla structures of twenty youths with pretty facial appearance was carried out. Results There were remarkable differences between each craniofacial structure in different sexes, but the ratio indices that represented the inter-relations of different craniofacial structures were closely similar in both sexes. In the group of youths the asymmetry ratios between bilateral craniofacial structures were below 5 % , presenting the perfect symmetry feature. The asymmetry ratios and their standard deviations of the zygomas and angulus mandibulae were relatively large . The results suggested that these two characteristic parts which influence the whole appearance were easily changeable with different individuals. There were close co relations between coronal axis width and sagittal axis protrusion in main structures of craniofacial region. These relationships could sum up in linear regression equations. Conclusion There are internal aesthetic regularities of coordinative ratios and harmonious symmetry in normal three dimensional craniofacial architecture, which determines the pretty appearance of youths. These internal regularities and aesthetic principles should be considered in designing and performing craniofacial aesthetic plastic operation so as to get excellent surgical results.

Objective To investigate the mechanisms of enophthalmos and deformities of orbital walls in patients with orbital blowout fracture and to evaluate the reconstructive surgical methods. Methods The features of orbital deformities, the change of orbital volume and the mechanisms of enophthalmos were measured and analyzed by means of 3-D CT technique and 3-D diagnostic computer-assisted system. The reconstructive operations were employed on these 11 cases with orbital blowout fractures to correct deformities and restore orbital volume by applying autogenous bone grafts or hydroxyapatite bone substitutes. Results There were no serious complications such as infection of bone graft, exposure of hydroxypatite implant in all 11 cases, 10 cases got satisfactory appearance of eyelids and orbit, of which thediplopia and enophthalmos were corrected with protrution of eyeball restoring normally. 1 case remained diplopia after surgical correction. Conclusions The enophthalmos is mainly caused by orbital volume enlarging and orbital content herniating into paranasal sinuses. Implanting autogenous grafts and hydroxyapatite substitutes to restore orbital volume are proved to be effective.
