ABSTRACT

Maxillofacial prosthesis (MFP) can be defined as the art and science of esthetic and functional reconstruction of the facial bones, art because it uses hand-crafted and empirical rules, science because of its technical rigorism and its integration in medicine. MFP aims to multidisciplinary rehabilitate patients presenting with cutaneous and underlying structures defects, It also allows for functional speech and swallowing rehabilitation related to temporo-mandibular joint disorders. Whatever the origin, (traumatic, infectious ortumoral), surgical treatment of these TMJ disorders is usually not indicated in first-line. Functional treatment is often sufficient if started early in an observant patient. The aim of our article was to present the different types devices available for the rehabilitation of the masticatory system according to pathology. The first part will treat about the preservation of the TMJ range of motion in a preventive way. A second part will treat about the possibilities to recover the range of motion in a curative way. A third part will treat about mandibular reposition. At last, we will focus on the devices allowing for mandibular kinetic rehabilitation in adults and in a special pediatric case.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Subcondylar fractures are common in children. Occlusion disorders resulting from these fractures in deciduous or mixed dentition do not have as much impact as in adults due to alveolar adaption possibilities. Functional treatment allows for good functional results, but does not treat the dynamic shortening of the ramus. The objective of this study was to evaluate the axiographic condylar slope changes after subcondylar fracture in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective study was conducted from 2010 to 2015, including all the under-18 patients presenting with a subcondylar fracture. Examination by mean of a Quick Axis axiograph measured the length of propulsion and the condylar inclination on both sides. The main evaluation criterion was the amount of condylar inclination decrease on the fractured side. RESULTS: Twelve patients (mean age: 10.42; 5-16) were included. Eleven children had a loss of condylar inclination on the fractured side without occlusion disorders at 33.2 months on average (3-144 months) after the initial trauma. Only one patient had symmetric axiographies without loss of condylar inclination on the fractured side. DISCUSSION: Dynamic shortening of the ramus on the side of the subcondylar fracture is consistent at short and medium terms in children. Surgical treatment may be the solution for avoiding this dynamic disorder of the mandible and should be evaluated.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: As major loss of mandibular bone stock requires a vascularized transfer, fibula free flap reconstruction is considered to be the best free flap for its length and reliability. Its main advantage is to accept dental implants. Single or double-barrel reconstruction can be performed. Double-barrel reconstruction is generally preferred because the bone superposition offers enough height to allow dental implants. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We reviewed five selected cases of double-barrel fibula free flap adaptive mandibular reconstruction performed among a series of 11 oral rehabilitations with planned dental implants, focusing on the technical aspects. RESULTS: Today, dental rehabilitation has been achieved in three double-barrel fibula flaps. Details are reported concerning the implant step. DISCUSSION: In this perspective, we discuss the choice of the reconstructive technique in order to obtain adequate bone height. Early in our experience and for different reasons discussed in the text, we used a single barrel fibula flap. This technique provided sufficient height in some cases, but had to be completed by bone grafts in few patients. Our experience illustrates the usefulness of the double barrel technique which provide definitive bone height sufficient for dental implants. The double-barreled technique should be considered as the best solution.

ABSTRACT

Tooth grinding and tooth clenching are unvoluntary mainly nocturnal habits that result in an hypertrophy of masseter and temporalis muscles with an unbalance between opening and closing muscles of the jaw and lead to an alteration of mandibular condyles movements and to hyper pressure in the temporo-mandibular joints (TMJ) which can generate severe pain. Intra muscular injections of botulinum toxin permit to restablish the balance between closing and opening muscles, to relieve pain, to treat masseteric hypertrophy with improvement of face outline and to recover a normal cinetic of temporo-mandibular joints. Moreover, botulinum toxin injections permit to quit habits of tooth grinding and clenching and one single session of injections is curative for 2/3 of the patients. There are no side effects apart from slight diffusion to superficial muscles of the face resulting in a "fixed" smile for about 6 to 8 weeks. So injections of botulinum toxin in masseter and temporalis muscles are an efficient treatment of bruxism and TMJ dysfunction, cheap with no lasting side effect.

ABSTRACT

Orbital and intracranial complications of dental cellulitis are exceptional. The authors report such a case with orbital cellulitis and frontal abscess that dictated orbital exenteration with resection of the eyelids. Before realization of an implant supported epithesis, the orbit was filled with a prefabricated vascularized fascio-osseous parietal bone flap. This allowed placement of two extra-oral fixtures (Nobel biocare) in an antero-posterior axis. In some cases, preimplant orbital bone graft appears to be the only solution when implant placement in the orbital rim is impossible or contra-indicated. Indications, advantages and disadvantages of this technique will be discussed.

ABSTRACT

Chondrosarcomas of the temporo-mandibular joint are exceptional and have been previously reported in the literature in only seven cases. A case located in the temporal bone with extension in the infratemporal fossa and the cranial base is presented. Treatment consisted in a wide surgical resection combined with postoperative radiotherapy. The patient is alive with a follow-up of more than two years.

ABSTRACT

The treatment of OSAS with prosthetic devices displacing forward and lowering the mandible in order to increase the size of the pharyngeal airway is seldom used at present. Some recent publications attracted our interest and we deemed it of interest to review them. Our work is mostly concerned with objective results as assessed by polysomnography, and also with cephalometric changes caused by the device. In spite of equivocal results at polysomnography, which seldom met commonly accepted criteria of successful treatment, indiscutable therapeutic successes have been reported. Therefore, this simple, reversible and cheap devices could be advocated in cases of mild or moderate OSAS. However, their role in the therapeutic armamentarium of OSAS as well as their indications and efficacy need to be better assessed.

ABSTRACT

A retrospective study of mandibular resections performed from 1980 to 1984 was conducted to evaluate age, sex, aetiology, etc. The number of mandibular resections appears to have declined at the Institute of Stomatology and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital. Different factors are involved included early diagnosis, improved surgical techniques and better patient follow-up. Partial mandibular resections are increasingly performed (52% of the cases) compared with total resections. Finally, a better understanding of the pathologies involved, especially tumours, has led to an adaptation of the resection techniques to avoid extensive mutilations.

ABSTRACT

Two cases with complete loss of the tooth-bearing portion of the mandible were repaired with a prosthesis. This type of defect can involve the loss of a large number of teeth and aggression to the remaining teeth must be limited as much as possible. A two-part "articulated" prosthesis with two rings appears to be the best adapted system. This method takes into account the requirements of for additional conventional prostheses and thus makes it possible to save the remaining teeth.

ABSTRACT

A prosthesis was implanted immediately after operation for a velo-palatal tissue defect in an active young female patient in order to avoid function, psychological and social complications involved with this mutilation. The three classical steps of the process were performed: immediate implantation of the prosthesis, temporary prosthesis, definitive prosthesis. Anchoring to the teeth maintained the prosthesis in position. A functional print is always needed to obtain perfect closure. A metallic bridge links the retention part and the obstructive part. The device is effective, discrete, functional and well-tolerated by the patient.

ABSTRACT

Physiotherapy in association with mechanotherapy provides a functional treatment for T.M. algo-dysfunctional syndromes. The authors review the indications for this treatment and distinguish two varieties requiring different treatments: syndromes with a defect in propulsion and a limitation of mouth opening and syndromes with hyperpropulsion and subluxation.

ABSTRACT

The authors report their initial conclusions regarding the value of M.R.I. in the investigation of temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction. This examination was performed for all varieties of symptomatology: musculo-ligamentary, menisco-ligamentary or meniscal. A detailed examination technic is given. M.R.I. enables meniscal abnormalities to be demonstrated: morphological and positional abnormalities (reducible and irreducible anterior luxations) and structural abnormalities similar to those seen in meniscal pathology within the knee joint.

ABSTRACT

The value of short-term prophylaxis with antibiotics in maxillo-facial surgery and plastic facial surgery is studied. 200 patients were included in the study and compared to 200 controls who were given the usual systematic antibiotic therapy, with a different antibiotic, for more than 6 days. 400 case-reports were thus retrospectively analyzed. The results show that when the surgical procedure lasts for less than three hours, short-term prophylaxis with antibiotics is more effective than the usual systematic antibiotic therapy given for more than 6 days.
