Purpose: The authors evaluated pterygomaxillary junction angles across malocclusion patterns and identified the optimal technique for effective pterygomaxillary junction separation during Le Fort I osteotomy, focusing on appropriate osteotome angles and clinical applications.
Methods: This retrospective study included 211 patients with malocclusion who had undergone Le Fort I osteotomy at Chang Gung Craniofacial Center between December 2015 and September 2023. The patients were stratified by sex and malocclusion class (class I, II, or III).
Article Synopsis
- Segmental maxillary osteotomy, a surgical procedure for correcting jaw alignment, carries risks like tearing of the palatal mucosa, which can lead to complications.
- A case study of a woman with class II malocclusion showed that after her surgery, she developed a painful palatal ulcer, prompting a combined treatment of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and standard methods.
- The successful outcome highlighted the need for quick treatment and showed that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can enhance healing in patients facing surgery-related complications.
