ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction: Treatment of maxillofacial injuries is complex and requires the establishment of a comprehensive and accurate diagnosis and correct treatment planning. Objective: The objective of this case report was to describe the re-treatment of a 27-year-old woman who was involved in a severe car accident that resulted in the loss of five anterior teeth and alveolar bone, and whose previous orthodontic and surgical treatments had been unsuccessful. Case report: In this case, the space for the missing mandibular molar was reopened to allow for rehabilitation. The positions of the mandibular incisors were improved. The right mandibular canine was moved to the mesial, allowing for correction of the Class II canine relationship on that side, and implants were placed to replace the maxillary anterior teeth. Conclusion: Anterior aesthetic and functional rehabilitation using a multidisciplinary approach was essential to improve the patient's facial aesthetics, to obtain great improvement in function and to achieve occlusal stability after 2 years of follow-up.


RESUMO Introdução: o tratamento de danos bucomaxilofaciais é complexo e requer diagnóstico abrangente e preciso, além de um correto plano de tratamento. Objetivo: o objetivo deste relato de caso foi descrever o retratamento de uma paciente do sexo feminino, 27 anos de idade, envolvida em acidente automobilístico grave, que resultou na perda de cinco dentes, além de perda óssea alveolar na região anterior. Relato de caso: a paciente apresentava histórico de insucesso de tratamento ortodôntico e cirúrgico. No caso apresentado, o espaço referente aos molares inferiores ausentes foi reaberto, para possibilitar a reabilitação. Houve melhora no posicionamento dos incisivos inferiores. O canino inferior direito foi deslocado para mesial, possibilitando a correção da relação de Classe II intercaninos do mesmo lado. Implantes foram inseridos a fim de substituir os dentes superiores da região anterior. Conclusão: a reabilitação estética e funcional da região anterior, realizada por meio de uma abordagem multidisciplinar, foi fundamental para valorizar a estética facial da paciente, melhorar a função e promover estabilidade oclusal após dois anos de acompanhamento.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To characterize the oral motor system of adults with facial injuries and to compare the oral motor performance/function between two different groups. METHODS: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in 38 patients presenting with facial trauma who were assigned to the Division of Orofacial Myology of a Brazilian School Hospital. Patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 (G1) consisted of 19 patients who were submitted to open reduction of at least one facial fracture, and Group 2 (G2) consisted of 19 individuals who were submitted to closed fracture reduction with maxillomandibular fixation. For comparison purposes, a group of 19 healthy volunteers was recruited. All participants underwent a clinical assessment that included an oral motor evaluation, assessment of the mandibular range of motions, and electromyographic assessment of the masticatory muscles. RESULTS: Clinical assessment of the oral motor organs indicated that G1 and G2 presented deficits related to the posture, position, and mobility of the oral motor organs. Patients also presented limited mandibular ranges of movement. Deficits were greater for individuals in G1, especially for maximal incisor opening. Additionally, patients in G1 and G2 presented a similar electromyographic profile of the masticatory muscles (i.e., patients with facial fractures presented lower overall muscle activity and significant asymmetrical activity of the masseter muscle during maximum voluntary teeth clenching). CONCLUSION: Patients in G1 and G2 presented similar functional deficits after fracture treatment. The severity of facial fractures did not influence muscle function/performance 4 months after the correction of fractures.

ABSTRACT

La prótesis bucomaxilofacial es la disciplina que se encarga de rehabilitar personas que carecen de parte de sus estructuras faciales o bucales debido a defectos congénitos, traumatismos o extirpación de tumores. El objetivo de este trabajo fue presentar los conceptos y principios de la rehabilitación bucomaxilofacial, clasificación y descripción de los defectos faciales, habilidades y técnicas para abordar cada caso. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica usando la base de datos de PubMed/Medline, utilizando los siguientes términos de búsqueda: maxillofacial prosthetics; maxillofacial reconstruction; ocular, nasal, auricular and mandibular defects. La prótesis facial es un dispositivo artificial que reemplaza una malformación del rostro. Puede ser ocular, orbital, nasal, auricular, defecto maxilar y mandibular, craneal o compleja. Se confecciona en acrílico termopolimerizable o silicona de tipo médico, caracterizados por simular la pigmentación del individuo. La prótesis bucomaxilofacial ofrece una alternativa de rehabilitación cuando la reconstrucción quirúrgica no lo puede lograr y representa una ayuda imprescindible para la reinserción social y profesional del paciente mutilado.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Realizar um estudo epidemiológico das fraturas de face em crianças em um serviço de urgência. MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo de quarenta e dois pacientes com idades variando entre zero a 17 anos, portadores de fraturas de face, tratados no Setor de Cirurgia Buco-Maxilo-Facial da Santa Casa de São Paulo, no período de janeiro de 2000 a dezembro de 2003. Os dados foram tabulados através das informações colhidas dos prontuários dos pacientes, tais como: idade, gênero, tipo de fratura, etiologia e sazonalidade. RESULTADOS: Entre os resultados encontrados, houve predominância do gênero masculino com 81 por cento da casuística, a fratura de mandíbula foi a mais prevalente, com mais de 70 por cento dos casos, os acidentes de trânsito e as quedas foram os agentes etiológicos que mais causaram fraturas. O verão foi a época do ano com mais casos de fratura e mais de 80 por cento destas necessitaram de intervenção cirúrgica para o seu tratamento. CONCLUSÃO: É necessária uma política de prevenção com uma atenção especial aos acidentes de trânsito e às quedas, que foram os agentes etiológicos que mais causaram fraturas faciais.


OBJECTIVE: To conduct an epidemiological study of facial fractures in children in an emergency room. METHODS: A retrospective study of forty-two patients, aged zero to 17 years, with facial fractures treated at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Santa Casa de São Paulo, from January 2000 to December 2003. The data were tabulated from information retrieved from patient files, such as age, gender, type of fracture, etiology and season of occurrence. RESULTS: Among the results were a predominance of males, accounting for 81 percent of all cases; jaw fracture was the most prevalent, constituting more than 70 percent of cases; and traffic accidents and falls were the etiologic agents that caused the most fractures. Summer was the season with the greatest number of cases of fracture and more than 80 percent required surgical intervention for their treatment. CONCLUSION: A policy of prevention is necessary, with special attention to traffic accidents and falls, which were the etiologic agents that caused the most facial fractures.

ABSTRACT

La cara es la región del organismo más expuesta a las heridas. En el paciente traumatizado con heridas en la cara, se deben atender en primera instancia los aspectos que puedan conducirlo a la muerte. Se debe hacer una rápida inspección del paciente, controlar su respiración, la hemorragia y el posible choque y evaluar las lesiones acompañantes para diagnosticar y tratar las lesiones maxilofaciales posteriormente. Los signos y síntomas que con más frecuencia se presentan en estos pacientes son rinorrea, inconsciencia, heridas oculares y lesiones del tórax. El paciente con trauma en cara puede presentar desde abrasiones y avulsiones cutáneas, heridas de cuero cabelludo, nervio facial, parótida y del conducto de Stenon, lengua, labios, párpados, orejas y nariz, hasta heridas por arma de fuego y tatuajes. Por esto, es importante prevenir al cirujano general contra el riesgo de efectuar ciertos procedimientos quirúrgicos, que por su complicación, requieren de la intervención de un especialista
