Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an approach for correcting dentofacial skeletal deformities using maxillary multisegmentation.
  • To highlight the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in achieving optimal surgical outcomes.
  • To emphasize the critical role of surgical precision in preventing complications.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical correction of dentofacial deformities via multisegmentation of the maxilla.

  • Detailed description of the surgical procedure and considerations.
  • Emphasis on the collaborative efforts between orthodontists and surgeons.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful application of multisegmental maxilla technique in treating specific deformities.
    • Demonstration of the technique's versatility in addressing open bite and transverse discrepancies.
    • Highlighting the potential for avascular necrosis as a significant complication if surgical detail is lacking.

    Conclusions:

    • Multisegmentation of the maxilla is an effective technique for complex dentofacial deformities.
    • Optimal results depend on meticulous surgical execution and strong orthodontic-surgical team synergy.
    • Careful surgical planning and execution are essential to mitigate risks such as avascular necrosis.
