Evaluation of vertical ramus osteotomy for the surgical correction of unilateral mandibular posterior vertical insufficiency: Long-term follow-up results

Methods of Definitive Correction of Mandibular Deformity in Hemimandibular Hyperplasia Based on Radiological, Anatomical, and Topographical Measurements—Proposition of Author’s Own Protocol

“…Most corrective jaw surgeries focus on orthognathic surgery consisting of Lefort I maxillary osteotomy and BSSO of the mandible, performed in a classic manner or with various modifications [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. Sembronio et al’s studies seem to confirm the authors’ thesis that advanced osteotomy protocols grant more stable final outcomes [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ].…”

“…Still, a leveling genioplasty should be considered mandatory in extensive bone overgrowth where the methods presented herein are insufficient, such as the proposed protocol in Table 1 . CT/RTG and CBCT/3D studies [ 21 , 22 , 33 , 34 , 35 ] should be carried out, especially in the estimation of the position, height, and length of the mandibular inferior margin [ 7 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ].…”

Dental and maxillofacial features of condylo-mandibular dysplasia: A case series of 21 patients

“…Ramus reconstruction can be managed by distraction osteogenesis (DO) or orthognathic ramus elongation procedures. In our experience, the Caldwell-Letterman VRO technique allows for single-stage correction of the ramus height and remains an option in children because it does not interfere with mandibular growth (Anquetil et al, 2020). This procedure provides correction of maxillary occlusal canting by spontaneous dentoalveolar adaptation to the generated open bite.…”

Corrección de microsomía hemifacial con prótesis de articulación temporomandibular con extensión a arco cigomático y cirugía ortognática

“…Durante la planeación quirúrgica se debe tener en cuenta que los grandes avances mandibulares en estos casos aumentan el riesgo de reabsorción condilar, por la presencia de una rama corta y la fuerza de los músculos masticatorios desfavorable ocasionada por el tirón muscular generado por la nueva posición mandibular. Además, se acentúa la hipoplasia de tejido blando al no incluir la corrección del contorno facial 6 .…”
