A 19-year-old male patient presented with a dentoalveolar Class III malocclusion on a Class III skeletal base with facial asymmetry, increased facial proportions, complicated by anterior open bite of 6.2 mm, unilateral posterior crossbite with Index of Orthognathic Functional Treatment Need score of 5.4.
The patient's maxillary arch was bonded initially and 4 months post alignment, pre-surgical intraoral scanning and full skull computed tomography were obtained and subjected to virtual surgical planning (NemoFAB Version 22, Nemotec, Madrid, Spain). Counterclockwise rotational bilateral sagittal split osteotomy setback and genioplasty was performed to close the open bite and correct the Class III skeletal discrepancy with the aid of intermaxillary fixation screws placed in the midline of upper and lower maxillary and mandibular arches for heavy elastic engagement post-surgery.
Facial balance was restored, profile was improved, ideal overjet and overbite established.
TAKE-AWAY LESSONS: This approach combines the benefits of conventional three-phase surgery and surgery first orthognathic approach by meticulous planning of the intended transitional malocclusion to achieve a stable occlusion. Longer follow-ups in future studies can be investigated.
一名19岁男性患者,表现为骨性III类错牙合伴牙性III类错牙合,面部不对称,面部比例增加,并发6.2毫米的前牙开牙合、单侧后牙反牙合,正颌功能治疗需求指数评分为5.4。
最初对上颌牙弓进行粘结,排齐4个月后,进行术前口内扫描和全颅骨计算机断层扫描,并进行虚拟手术规划(NemoFAB版本22,Nemotec,西班牙马德里)。采用逆时针旋转双侧矢状劈开截骨后退术和颏成形术,以关闭开牙合并借助置于上颌和下颌牙弓中线的颌间固定螺钉纠正III类骨骼差异,术后进行重度弹性牵引。
面部平衡得以恢复,侧貌得到改善,建立了理想的覆盖和覆牙合。
该方法通过精心规划预期的过渡性错牙合,结合了传统三相手术和手术优先正颌方法的优点,以实现稳定的咬合。未来研究可进行更长时间的随访。
