Fusion of maxillary and mandibular alveolar process together with a median mandibular cleft: a rare congenital anomaly.

Congenital fusion of the maxillary alveolar process and mandible is a very rare entity. A one day old male newborn was referred to our clinic with a diagnosis of a 'absence of oral cavity'. Physical examination revealed that there was no mouth opening bilaterally in the posterior region due to maxillary and mandibular bone fusion; and in the front there was only 1 mm of mouth opening. Examination of the intraoral space could not be achieved. No other congenital anomaly was detected on general examination. The infant, who was fed via a nasogastric tube for 1 month, was operated on. An intra-oral device which separated maxillary and mandibular alveolar arches from each other was designed and used for 8 weeks to avoid recurrence of the fusion. An adequate mouth opening was obtained and the infant could be fed orally.

[Combined method for preventing alveolar process deformation after tooth extraction].

This paper presents a combined method for prevention of deformation of the alveolar process of the jaws after tooth extraction. This method was used in 26 patients of different age. Use of colapol in the KP-3l modification and laser coagulation method in combination with immediate orthodontic treatment led to reduction of the incidence of inflammatory complications. The method is recommended for practical use.
