Orthognathic surgery of a patient with oligodontia: alternative technique for intermaxillary fixation.
[oligodontia]
Oligodontia
may
cause
various
problems
during
orthognathic
surgery
because
it
may
be
difficult
to
fix
the
surgical
guide
splints
.
The
aim
of
this
clinical
report
was
to
present
an
alternative
technique
for
intermaxillary
fixation
of
a
patient
with
oligodontia
and
facial
deformity
.
A
20
-
year
-old
male
patient
,
whose
8
maxillary
and
11
mandibular
teeth
were
congenitally
missing
,
was
treated
using
bimaxillary
orthognathic
surgery
.
Before
the
surgical
approach
,
fixed
mandibular
prosthesis
containing
pins
on
the
vestibule
sides
of
the
crowns
was
constructed
to
provide
anchorage
for
intermaxillary
splint
and
to
achieve
occlusal
stability
and
vertical
dimension
during
the
surgery
.
This
prosthesis
was
also
used
to
hang
intraoral
elastics
during
the
postoperative
orthodontic
treatment
.
At
the
end
of
treatment
,
these
pins
were
cut
,
composite
restoration
material
was
applied
to
camouflage
the
places
of
the
pins
,
and
the
patient
continued
to
use
this
prosthesis
.
The
patient
gained
an
appropriate
facial
aesthetics
and
oral
function
using
multidisciplinary
approach
.
