Orthodontic-Surgical Treatment of a Rare Case of Aplasia of the Mandibular Condyles
نویسنده
چکیده
Changes or disruptions in the process of mandibular development can happen in the early stages of formation, and the malformations may be isolated or part of a syndrome. Hypoplasia or aplasia of the mandibular condyles indicates underdevelopment or non-development and is associated with multiple craniofacial abnormalities. Patients who experience these congenital deformities may benefit from reconstruction using total joint prostheses. In addition, orthognathic surgery may be required to treat severe respiratory syndromes and to correct dentofacial deformities to obtain functional and aesthetic results. Therefore, this paper presents a rare case of aplasia of the mandibular condyles and treatment of dentofacial deformities associated with severe obstructive sleep apnea and the reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint.

متن کاملEarly surgical and orthodontic treatment of a severely dilacerated maxillary central incisor: A case report
Mechanical trauma or developmental disorders can cause an eruptive problem mostly called dilaceration. The prognosis of a dilacerated tooth depends on early diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. The case presented in this paper is an example of severe dilacerations of a maxillary central incisor which has been treated with early orthodontic intervention.
متن کاملChanges in the Position of Mandibular Third Molars Following Extraction and Non-Extraction Orthodontic Treatments
Introduction: Impaction of third molars can be associated with a number of sequelae, each requiring a different type of treatment. The purpose of this study was to assess the changes in the position of lower third molars following extraction and non-extraction orthodontic treatments. Methods: Pre- and post-treatment panoramic radiographs of 26 class I malocclusion patients (4 male and 22 female...
