Compression osteosynthesis.

Nearly all types of mandibular fractures have been treated successfully by compression osteosynthesis. Special instruments are required, the bone must be treated correctly, the fragments must be reduced exactly, and the plate must be adapted exactly. Basically, only lag screws are used when there is a lamellar fracture and when a large surface permits support; the dynamic compression plate with oblique lateral screw holes is indicated when the fracture runs transversely. The dynamic compression plate with oblique lateral holes and the additional inlay portion is indicated in oblique fractures and when the alveolar process is weak.

[Orthodontic and surgical approach to mandibular prognathia. Prevention of recurrences].

The authors emphasize the necessity for a combined orthodontic and surgical approach to the problems posed by the treatment of mandibular prognathia. They feel that the major source of recurrences is related to the alveolar changes which accompany the new basal maxillo-mandibular relationship and the resultant modifications in muscular equilibrium. The prevention of recurrences must therefore take into account the prediction of adaptive remodelling of the alveolar processes.

[The deformed partially edentulous ridge in the area of the anterior teeth and that reconstruction. Part I. Analysis of types of defects by the study casts].

The purpose of the study was investigated the incidence and type of anterior ridge deformities in partially edentulous patients. Furthermore that deformed partially edentulous ridge were investigated which esthetic problem were existence or not, and what type of edentulous ridge have to do the ridge augmentation. A random sample of 94 casts 118 regions was evaluated. The results obtained were as follow: 1. These partially edentulous ridge were measured distance by the divided into Apicocoronal loss D1 and Buccolingal loss W, and relationship between D1 and W was significant. But the relationships of D1 and W weren't found between 1 to 2 missing tooth, and on the presence of the root exposure. 2. The resorption form at the palatal regions of upper differed from lower, remained to alveolar crest on palatal regions. But the resorption form at the Buccal region were similar to upper and lower. 3. Using Seibert's classification, we found that the Class III was the most prevalent deformity (55.1%). The other prevalent defect was discerned the Class 0 (17.8%) greater than Class I (16.1%) greater than Class II (11.0%). 4. An unesthetic pontic-to-ridge relationship observed in an Apicocornal loss or a Buccolingal loss. 5. The surgical procedures for reconstruction to partially edentulous ridges should be carried out the either D1: greater than 3 mm or W: greater than 3 mm. The edentulous ridges which lacked in the either D1: greater than 2 mm or W: greater than 2 mm were considered preparatory application.

[Longitudinal changes in amounts of maxillary growth].

The purpose of this study is to investigate postnatal developmental changes in the shape of the maxilla. Normal maxillary form at each development stage and amounts of growth were analyzed by longitudinally measuring 136 Indian skulls. Maxillary growth changes were assumed on the basis of mean values and growth rates of each region measured. Results 1) Vertical growth Vertical growth of the maxilla (N-Pr) at the fifth (permanent-dentition) stage approximately doubled growth in the first (pre-eruption) stage. The corpus of the maxilla and its alveolar process lay beneath the foramen infraorbit. Vertical growth in this region (m-Pr) increases rapidly during the period of eruption of deciduous and permanent teeth. In permanent dentition, the vertical dimensions of the upper (N-m) and lower (m-Pr) parts of the foramen infraorbit were almost the same. 2) Growth in width As the eyes grow, the upper face widens. Resulting development in the tensed zygomatic-maxillary suture at the inferior margin of the orbit expands the upper surface of maxilla. Maxillary width increased by approximately 1.8 times between the first and fifth stages.

Jaw fractures in the county of Stockholm (1978-1980). Jaw fractures in children and adolescents.

Jaw fractures are less frequent in children than in adults. Very few studies exclusively on jaw fractures in children have been reported. From an investigation earlier published about jaw fractures in the country of Stockholm during the years 1978, 1979 and 1980 the authors have selected all cases of jaw fractures in children and adolescents below the age of 20. One hundred and seventy-one patients were studied, 128 boys and 43 girls. The ratio between boys and girls was 3:1. The material was separated into 4 age groups: 0-5, 6-10, 11-15 and 16-20 years. Sixty percent of the fractures were found in the older age groups. The majority of the injuries (62%) occurred during the period May-September, mostly on Fridays and Saturdays, in the younger groups in day time, in the older group during the evening. Fractures due to falling and playing dominated in the younger age groups, but decreased with age. Even if all bicycle traffic accidents were excluded, this vehicle caused 31% of all play and sporting accidents. The relatively percentage of traffic accidents increased steadily from 17 to 42% in the age groups. In the oldest age group violence exceeded traffic as the dominating cause. Le Fort fractures were not found in the younger groups, were fractures of the mandibular condyle and maxillary alveolar process dominated. An erupted tooth in the fracture line was registered in 43% of the cases. Most patients received outpatient treatment.

[Standardization of examinations in maxillofacial roentgenology. I. Standardization of methods in intraoral roentgenography].

Typical errors in teeth roentgenography reproduced in experiment, indicate that considerable disproportional distortions of images of anatomical structures which are decisive for radiodiagnosis, may occur in these cases. These distortions influence the accuracy of assessment of the condition of periapical tissues, marginal parts of the alveolar process, cavity sizes, and the actual end of the root of the canal. Standardization of intraoral roentgenography is based on a strict position of the patient's head, angle of inclination and alignment of a tube. Specialized P3-1 film should be used. Its processing should strictly correspond to the instructions of a manufacturing factory otherwise the quality of an image is deteriorated and an effective equivalent dose on the vital organs is increased.

Augmentation of the atrophic edentulous ridge with porous replamineform hydroxyapatite (Interpore-200).

The use of porous replamineform hydroxyapatites (Interpore-200) provides an opportunity for rapid stabilization of the ceramic implant by connective tissue and bony ingrowth into the porous network. The strength of the Interpore-200-tissue combination provides good resistance to denture forces. Once ingrown with tissue, the implants will remain well stabilized, appear resistant to local trauma, and have the capacity to heal if exposed, as a viable blood supply is contained within the material.

[Harmonisation of the middle level of the face by Lefort type I osteotomy (author's transl)].

Elongation of the middle level of the face which is characterised by a short upper lip and exposure of the superior alveolar process is an indication for resection of a boney segment of the maxilla. Planning of this operation and the surgical technique are described and it is shown that osteosynthesis using a miniplate makes it possible to avoid intermaxillary block but requires a strict surgical technique and a very careful therapeutic plan.

[Restoration of the alveolar crest with a biomaterial filler. A clinical and histological study].

The implantation of biocompatible hydroxyapatite is used for human mandibular ridge augmentation in edentulous patients. Histologically, we studied such a material after a long period of implantation (1 1/2 to 2 years) in two patients. The histologic study showed a narrow meshed net of collagen tissue surrounding the hydroxylapatite particles. In the periphery of that tissue, we could see an osteogenesis: the bony trabeculae thus formed firstly were made of an immature bony matrix with an irregular "woven" pattern; secondarily, a mature bone, quite similar to the normal bone, occurred. In our two observations, there was an unusual inflammatory reaction characterized by cellular infiltration of lipophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells in the connective tissue and in one case by a true ischaemic necrosis with granuloma and bacteria. In spite of that inflammation, the whole material was well tolerated, without foreign-body granuloma. Such a granuloma was only found in superficial areas of the gingiva, around extruded particles of the biomaterial.

Le Fort I down-fracture of the maxilla: application to benign antral neoplasm.

Benign neoplasms of the maxillo-facial region require different treatment than do malignant lesions. Conservation of adjacent tissues is vital in order to optimize postoperative function and esthetics. The Le Fort I down-fracture technique is a historically proven approach for resecting benign neoplasms involving the nasal and para-nasal cavities. The Le Fort I, as practised today, is transoral and placed superior to the dento-alveolar processes of the maxilla. Surgical access, therefore, need not result in a skin scar nor loss of dental structures. Postoperative recovery to full function is rapid. The elegance and versatility of the Le Fort I down-fracture technique is discussed with reference to the report of a large, intra-antral benign odontogenic neoplasm.
