Sattler medbeauty seven protocol for compensatory soft-tissue filling in orthodontic class ii patients: Case series

Abstract

Hyaluronic acid fillers can be used for the correction of facial soft tissue in orthodontics patients instead of orthognathic surgery. These clinical cases show the aesthetic results of Sattler MedBeauty Seven Protocol (SMSP) in five Class II female patients after having undergone orthodontic treatment. They had the lower third of the face filled with cross-linked hyaluronic acid (e.p.t.q. S500®), according to the SMSP. All patients were evaluated before and after treatments through an inquiry on adverse events, a Numerical Visual Scale (NVS), a self-assessment questionnaire (SQ) and the analysis of photographic records (PRs). The results showed oedema, pain and haematoma as the most cited adverse events, a score of 10 in the NVS for all patients, and a good aesthetic effect of chin and mandible in SQ and PR. The results suggest that SMSP is favourable in the aesthetic correction of chin and mandible in class II orthodontic patients using e.p.t.q. S500® for compensatory filling.
