Abstract:
The correction of class II high-angle open-bite in patients is difficult to achieve by traditional and conventional techniques in occlusal stability and function. The authors propose a new approach to a patient with dysmorphism (class II, short ramus, and open bite) using distraction osteogenesis to change the skeletal pattern of patients with high-angle class II to low-angle class III before undergoing traditional orthognathic surgery. This new approach is based on osteogenesis distraction, emphasizing planning and surgical procedures.

Fractures: Bone Repair
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...
