Abstract

One of the most common abnormalities in the development of the jaw is the narrowing of the alveolar process of the maxilla. In childhood, the elimination of such a deformation is quite common. But with age, the only effective option is the inclusion of a surgical procedure in the rehabilitation plan. The medial and parasagittal osteotomy of the maxilla for the purpose of its expansion by a distraction device has a number of important nuances which can significantly affect the result. These include: localization of sagittal osteotomy of the palate and alveolar process; the direction of cutting the walls of the maxillary sinus; type of fixation of the device (dental-borne or bone-borne). The article summarizes the experience of 74 surgical-associated expansions of the jaws with asymmetric deformations performed over 2 years. A retrospective analysis according to cone beam computed tomography is given. of complex treatment with the inclusion of sparing osteotomy of the maxilla in the rehabilitation plan and a differentiated approach to performing surgical manipulation allow to achieve optimal aesthetic and functional results and to correct the asymmetry to the greatest extent.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
