Abstract:
Objective To explore the treatment of laterognathism of the mandible.Methods Nineteen cases of laterognathism of the mandible were treated by Lefort Ⅰ osteotomy,sagittal split ramus osteotomy,genioplasty,anterior mandibular subapical osteotomy and prosthesis implantation,respectively,and their efficacy was evaluated and clinical experience summarized.Results The nineteen cases were followed up for average 12 months after the treatments and all the patients were satisfied with the surgical effects.All osteotomy lines healed well and there were no complications,such as root damage or neurotrosis.Conclusions The orthognathic procedure for laterognathism of the mandible should be selected according to the types and locations of asymmetry deformities.Anterior mandibular subapical osteotomy combined with mandibular cosmetic surgery for slight laterognathism of the mandible could achieve satisfactory results.
