Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...

Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics and Dental Malocclusions
  • Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Dental and skeletal open bites present significant treatment challenges due to multifactorial etiologies.
  • Common contributing factors include vertical maxillary excess, skeletal discrepancies, abnormal dental eruption, and tongue thrust behaviors.

Observation:

  • This case report details the management of an adult patient presenting with a lateral open bite and a unilateral posterior crossbite.
  • The patient's complex malocclusion required a tailored therapeutic approach.

Findings:

  • Nonextraction orthodontic therapy, incorporating intermaxillary elastics, was employed to achieve controlled dentoalveolar extrusion.
  • This approach successfully resolved the lateral open bite and unilateral posterior crossbite.

Implications:

  • The findings suggest that nonextraction treatment with intermaxillary elastics can be an effective strategy for correcting complex open bite malocclusions in adults.
  • The reported stable outcomes highlight the potential for long-term success with this therapeutic modality.
