Abstract
BACKGROUND: This study tests the patients who underwent to orthognatic surgery to
compare the perioperatory treatment and the results with what related by
international bibliography.
METHODS: We have made a retrospective analysis on 434 patients affected by
dentalskeletal malformations and surgically treated at the Department of
Maxillo-Facial Surgery of the University of Rome "La Sapienza", from 1-1-1988 to
31-12-1997. We have examined these data: clinical evaluation of patient, pre and
post-surgical orthodontic treatment, minimum age for surgical correction,
surgical technique, use of osseus-synthesis with wire or RIF for mobile segment
osseus stabilization, use of reference articular plaque and the possible
association of additional surgical technique during the same time of
maxillomandibular correction. We have made in all patients orthognatic surgery,
which consist in osteotomy Le Fort I for upper jaw and sagittal osteotomy for
mandible.
RESULTS: In 25 patients was necessary remove the plaques and the screws which
have made an infection. In 15 patients we have executed a subsequent operation
for relapse of the dentalskeletal malformation. In other patients we have got a
good functional and aesthetical result.
CONCLUSIONS: From our study result that an exact presurgical analysis and a
correct orthodontic-surgical treatment have permitted to obtain a good functional
and aesthetical result in all patients.
