Mandibular resections involve esthetic and functional impairment and impose a challenge during the reconstruction. This case report is a successful reconstruction with distraction osteogenesis (DO) and customized temporomandibular joint (TMJ) prosthesis.
A 51-year-old male patient presented with a complaint of facial asymmetry, mastication, and speech difficulties.
As the patient had undergone a hemimandibulectomy procedure 20 years ago, clinical examination showed facial asymmetry. Radiographic examination exhibited the defect and a radiopaque image representing Kirschner's wire.
DO by bone transport was performed, followed by dental implant and TMJ prosthesis placement.
DO is a viable treatment option in resections, even when the defect was generated by an ancient injury. The follow-up is around 7 years after the osteogenic distraction, with no complaints and functional capacity.
TAKE-AWAY LESSONS: The major challenge in mandibular reconstructions through DO is to reproduce the curve of the arch.
下颌骨切除术会导致美观和功能受损,在重建过程中是一项挑战。本病例报告是一例采用牵张成骨术(DO)和定制颞下颌关节(TMJ)假体进行成功重建的案例。
一名51岁男性患者,主诉面部不对称、咀嚼和言语困难。
由于该患者20年前接受过半侧下颌骨切除术,临床检查显示面部不对称。影像学检查显示了缺损以及代表克氏针的不透射线影像。
采用骨运输法进行牵张成骨术,随后植入牙种植体并放置TMJ假体。
即使缺损是由陈旧性损伤造成的,牵张成骨术在切除术中也是一种可行的治疗选择。成骨牵张术后随访约7年,患者无不适且功能良好。
通过牵张成骨术进行下颌骨重建的主要挑战在于重现牙弓曲线。
