Correction of mandibular prognathism by mandibular setback and advancement genioplasty.

The goal of surgical-orthodontic treatment of mandibular prognathism is to achieve maximum function, esthetics and stability. These objectives were achieved in 10 adults who manifested a specific type of mandibular prognathism. The patient group under study, who manifested a relatively contour deficient chin and prominent lower lip, and class III malocclusion, was treated by orthodontics and mandibular setback in concert with advancement genioplasty. The advancement genioplasty technique was accomplished by maintaining as much soft tissue pedicle as possible to the repositioned chin. A near one-to-one ratio of soft tissue-to-osseous change was achieved in the patient group under study with the use of the described genioplasty technique in combination with mandibular setback by intraoral vertical ramus osteotomies.

[Diagnostic and therapeutic problems in a clinical case of oculoauricular dysplasia associated with mandibule-facial dysostosis (Franceschetti-Goldenhar syndrome)].

The authors present a case of oculo-auricular dysplasia (type Goldenhar) associated with France-schetti's syndrome (mandibulo-facial dysostosis) and complicated by paralytic strabismus and genital malformations. Complete investigation failed to establish a precise aetiology; one suggests an external disturbance in the course of the organogenesis of the branchial arches. Aesthetic improvement was undertaken--removal of epibulbar dermoids, correction of the squint, and ablation of the preauricular appendages; functional orthodontic treatment continues.

Age effects on orthodontic treatment: skeletodental assessments from the Johnston analysis.

We have compared differences in treatment outcomes dependent on patient age, either adolescent (means = 12.5 years at start) or adult (means = 27.6). Subjects were female patients whose Class II, Division 1 malocclusions were treated with Tweed edgewise mechanics and four-premolar extractions. Cephalometric records were assessed according to the Johnston analysis. The functional occlusal plane remained stable during mechanotherapy in the adolescents, whereas it steepened considerably in the adults. Differential mandibular growth in adolescents contributed 70% of the total molar correction, with orthodontic tooth movement accounting for the other 30%. Maxillary growth in the adults detracted from the Class II molar correction; tooth movement accounted for virtually all of the correction.

Correction of prognathism with fixed and removable partial dentures.

Prognathism in those patients for whom surgical orthodontic procedures are contraindicated can be successfully treated by the use of fixed and removable partial denture prosthodontics. Careful neuromuscular evaluation of the patient is necessary for the success of the treatment rendered. The nonsurgical treatment of prognathism by this method was described.

Nonsurgical management of the anterior open bite: a review of the options.

The open bite malocclusion has been described as being of 2 types: dental and skeletal. Proper differentiation is essential in determining the appropriate corrective measures. Dental open bites are generally more responsive to treatment with orthodontics alone, whereas skeletal open bites often require a combination of orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. Patient selection and treatment principles for nonsurgical open bite treatment are discussed, and a review of various methods of treatment for the skeletal open bite is presented. Posttreatment stability and retention concerns are addressed.

An application of a splint purposeful resin-bonded fixed partial denture after orthodontic treatment: a case report.

An adult male patient who had lost his maxillary left central incisor seven years ago in a traffic accident presented with a chief complaint about his unaesthetic appearance associated with the loss of his maxillary left central incisor space, a Class III molar occlusion, and an anterior open bite malocclusion due to tongue-thrust swallowing. Fixed orthodontic treatment was rendered following fan-type expansion of the maxilla. A Maryland bridge as a minimally invasive dentistry approach was used as a retention appliance and the patient's aesthetic appearance was restored.
