Abstract

The mouth, located in the lower third of the face, is a uniquely visible structure. It serves as a vital organ both aesthetically and functionally, playing a key role in speech, expression, and fundamental oral functions. Consequently, any alterations or defects in its shape, due to various causes, can lead to aesthetic and functional deficiencies. These issues may also result in challenges with social interactions and a decrease in confidence. In cases of microstomia, various surgical approaches are proposed based on the location, extent, shape, and cause of the defect, leading to numerous case reports. Plastic surgeons are proficient in oral reconstruction; however, cases of microstomia are relatively rare, which reduces their familiarity and interest in these cases. Additionally, preferences for oral size and shape vary according to factors such as geographical region and ethnicity, further complicating the functional definition of microstomia. Therefore, both subjective patient and physician judgments play crucial roles in the diagnosis and treatment of microstomia, as these may vary depending on individual and societal aspects. This review aims to classify the various causes and definitions of microstomia, as well as its non-surgical and surgical treatment options, with the goal of the treatment of this condition.

预防和治疗小口畸形。
口腔位于面部下三分之一处,是一个独特的可见结构。它在美观和功能上都是一个重要的器官,在言语、表达和基本口腔功能方面起着关键作用。因此,由于各种原因造成的任何形状改变或缺陷都会导致美观和功能缺陷。这些问题还可能导致社交障碍和自信心下降。在小口畸形的病例中,根据缺陷的位置、程度、形状和原因,提出了各种手术方法,并产生了大量病例报告。整形外科医生精通口腔重建,但小口腔病例相对罕见,这降低了他们对这些病例的熟悉程度和兴趣。此外,由于地理区域和种族等因素的不同,人们对口腔大小和形状的偏好也不尽相同,这使得小口畸形的功能定义更加复杂。因此,患者和医生的主观判断在小口畸形的诊断和治疗中起着至关重要的作用,因为这些判断可能因个人和社会因素而异。本综述旨在对小口畸形的各种病因、定义以及非手术和手术治疗方案进行分类,从而达到治疗小口畸形的目的。
