A novel rehabilitation device prepared a patient with severe facial asymmetry for orthognathic surgery. This approach aimed to improve outcomes for mandibular reconstruction and reduce temporomandibular joint issues.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthodontics
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Severe facial asymmetry can result from childhood hemimandibulectomy.
  • Orthognathic surgery is often required for reconstruction.
  • Pre-surgical preparation is crucial for optimal graft adaptation and functional outcomes.

Observation:

  • A prototype rehabilitation device was utilized pre-surgically.
  • The device gradually repositioned the remaining hemimandible.
  • This facilitated accommodation of a future graft.

Findings:

  • The device enabled gradual repositioning of the hemimandible.
  • It aimed to improve facial esthetics and function.
  • It sought to enhance graft adaptation and minimize temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pathology.

Implications:

  • Pre-surgical rehabilitation may improve orthognathic surgery results.
  • This device shows potential for managing complex facial asymmetries.
  • It may reduce complications associated with mandibular reconstruction.
