Pathology
TMJ internal derangement
Acromegaly
Congenital
Cleft lip and palate
teachers collins syndrome
hemifacial microsomia
Developmental
Malocclusion
Condylar hyperplasia
3 treatments of skeletal malocclusion
- growth redirection
- orthodontic camouflage
- orthognathic surgery
Orthodontic camouflage
Accentuate dental compensations
opposite movement of pre-surg ortho
possibly less stable
perio compromise
possible esthetic compromise
Growth redirection
Must have remaining growth
TMJ considerations
Limited correction possible
compliance and burnout
orthognathic surgery
Combined ortho and surgery to manage a malocclusion
advantages of orthognathic surgery
increased stability
decreased treatment time
improved occlusion
improved esthetics
indications for orthognathic surgery
Skeletal discrepancy with masticatory difficulty
impingement on palatal tissue
speech difficulty
OSA
psychosocial problems
esthetics
indications for orthognathic surgery
Skeletal discrepancy with masticatory difficulty
impingement on palatal tissue
speech difficulty
OSA
psychosocial problems
esthetics
Phases of orthognathic surgery
Combined treatment plan with ortho and surgery
pre surg ortho (12-18 months)
Surgery
post-surgical ortho (6 months)
Can all facial types have a normal occlusion?
True
General facial form is defined by….
N’ -A’ ‘Pg’ line
What can be used as a guide for skeletal relationships?
overjet
molars
Maxillary AP hyperplasia?
class 2 deformity
Mandibular AP hypoplasia?
Class 2 deformity
Vertical maxillary hyperplasia?
Class 2 deformity
Maxillary AP hypoplasia?
Class 3 deformity
mandibular AP hyperplasia?
class 3 deformity
vertical maxillary deficiency?
class 3 deformity
Class 2 is more common but doesn’t require surgery as often
Class 3 is less common and requires surgery more often
Model surgery?
Reproduce on mounted models what the surgical plan is
fabricate surgical stents
