Tooth Anatomy

446
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

Summary

Temporomandibular Joint Replacement (TMJ-R) combined with contouring osteotomy corrects facial asymmetry caused by mandibular overgrowth. This single procedure restores symmetry and improves facial contours.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthognathic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Temporomandibular Joint Replacement (TMJ-R) addresses various maxillomandibular conditions.
  • TMJ-R is often combined with orthognathic surgery.
  • Progressive facial asymmetry can result from unilateral mandibular condyle overgrowth, such as in osteochondroma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a surgical strategy for achieving facial symmetry.
  • To utilize TMJ prosthesis and contouring osteotomy in a single procedure.
  • To correct asymmetry caused by mandibular condyle overgrowth.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical technique involving TMJ prosthesis placement.
  • Contouring osteotomy of the affected mandibular ramus and body.
  • Simultaneous correction of facial asymmetry and mandibular contour.

Main Results:

  • Restoration of facial symmetry.
  • Improved mandibular contour on the affected side.
  • Correction of asymmetry related to condylar overgrowth.

Conclusions:

  • TMJ-R and contouring osteotomy offer a viable strategy for correcting facial asymmetry.
  • This combined approach effectively addresses maxillomandibular deformities.
  • The technique aims to achieve aesthetic and functional balance.
