Summary

Two cases of acquired syngnathia, a rare condition causing tissue adhesion, were reported. Effective treatment requires surgical intervention combined with a dedicated rehabilitation program, including crucial muscle training.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Acquired syngnathia, the fusion of oral tissues, can result from various post-surgical or post-traumatic complications.
  • Understanding the etiology is crucial for effective management and prevention.

Observation:

  • Case 1: Syngnathia likely developed secondary to a fibrotic tubed pedicle graft.
  • Case 2: Syngnathia was associated with the development of myositis ossificans.

Findings:

  • Both cases highlight the complex nature of acquired syngnathia.
  • Successful management necessitates a multi-modal approach.

Implications:

  • The findings underscore the importance of integrating comprehensive rehabilitation programs, particularly muscle training, alongside surgical correction for acquired syngnathia.
