Segmental LeFort I osteotomy for treatment of a class III malocclusion with temporomandibular disorder

Abstract: This article reports the case of a 19-year-old young man with Class III malocclusion and posterior crossbite with concerns about temporomandibular disorder (TMD), esthetics and functional problems. Surgical-orthodontic treatment was carried out by decompensation of the mandibular incisors and segmentation of the maxilla in 4 pieces, which allowed expansion and advancement. Remission of the signs and symptoms occurred after surgical-orthodontic intervention. The maxillary dental arch presented normal transverse… Show more

“…According to (Janson et al, 2008;Kumar and Sneha, 2016), in a case of skeletal class III malocclusion with temporomandibular pain, a segmental LeFort I Osteotomy procedure gave good results with relief of TMD pain. (Arpornmaeklong et al, 2003;Patturaja and Pradeep, 2016), recommends segmental osteotomy procedures to enhance the occlusal results postoperatively.…”

“…(Jayaratne et al, 2010), points out the facial soft tissue response of segmental osteotomy technique being good in reducing the labial prominence as well as increasing the nasolabial angle. (Janson et al, 2008), gives evidence of segmental osteotomy procedure being successful in the treatment of skeletal class III malocclusion with TMD, providing adequate pain relief.…”
