Summary
Marginal glossectomies for orthodontic or orthopedic reasons led to lasting improvements in alveolar bone alignment. Patients experienced minimal functional or psychological side effects, indicating a safe and effective procedure.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Orthodontics
- Dental Research
Context:
- The study reviewed 10 years of marginal glossectomy cases.
- Procedures were performed for specific orthodontic or orthopedic needs.
- Long-term outcomes were assessed for efficacy and patient well-being.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of marginal glossectomies in improving alveolar process inclination.
- To assess the functional and psychological impact of the surgical procedure.
- To determine the long-term sequelae of marginal glossectomies in orthodontic and orthopedic contexts.
Summary:
- Analysis of marginal glossectomies over a decade demonstrated sustained improvement in alveolar process inclination.
- The procedure showed a low incidence of functional deficits.
- Psychological outcomes were also minimally affected, suggesting good patient tolerance.
Impact:
- Provides evidence for the efficacy of marginal glossectomy in correcting alveolar bone alignment.
- Highlights the safety profile of the procedure with negligible functional and psychological sequelae.
- Informs clinical decision-making for orthodontic and orthopedic surgical interventions.
