Multidisciplinary Treatment of A Class III Patient With Giant Open Bite Secondary to Macroglossia.

Skeletal Class III malocclusion deformity is one of the most common maxillofacial malocclusions in East Asia and is either due to maxillary retrusion, mandibular protrusion, or both. It could cause functional and aesthetic problems. This deformity could be attributed to either hereditary or environmental factors or both.

Changes in mandibular angle and intergonial width after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy or bimaxillary surgery with/without counterclockwise rotation.

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the morphological changes in the mandibular angle area after orthognathic surgery with or without mandibular counterclockwise rotation in Class II deformity patients, and to investigate the associated factors. Computed tomography scans obtained preoperatively (T0), within 1 month postoperatively (T1), and 6 months postoperatively (T2) were collected from 58 patients who underwent either bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (group I), bimaxillary surgery with mandibular counterclockwise rotation (group II), or bimaxillary surgery without mandibular counterclockwise rotation (group III). The intergonial width increased after surgery, by 2.

Comparison of the biomechanical behavior between commercial and 3D-printed patient-specific Ti6Al4V L-Shaped titanium plates following le fort i osteotomy using finite element analysis: A technical Note.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the biomechanical behavior of three-dimensionally (3D) printed patient-specific Ti6Al4V with commercially made titanium mini plates following Lefort-I osteotomy using finite element analysis.

Methods: Le Fort I osteotomy was virtually simulated with a 5 mm maxillary advancement and mediolateral rotation in the coronal plane, resulting in a 3 mm gap on the left side's posterior. Two fixation methods were modeled using software to compare 3D-printed Ti6Al4V and commercial titanium mini plates, both featuring a 4-hole l-shape with thicknesses of 0.

The effect of different hybrid rigid internal fixation techniques on the postoperative stability following a mandibular advancement using a bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy: A retrospective three-dimensional comparative study.

Objective: To three-dimensionally evaluate post-operative mandibular stability following bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomies between hybrid and non-hybrid rigid internal fixation techniques.

Materials And Method: Seventy adults with skeletal class II deformity who underwent bilateral split sagittal osteotomy with mandibular advancement were included. Patients were divided into four groups based on their fixation techniques: hybrid technique (HT) groups I, II, and IV received a 4-hole 2 mm miniplate with either a bicortical screw (BS), additional 2 mm 4-hole miniplate, or two-hole miniplate, while non-HT group III received a 4-hole 2 mm miniplate with four mini-screws (MS).
