True hemimandibular hyperplasia, a rare maxillofacial deformity, causes facial asymmetry. Surgical correction in nine patients yielded satisfying clinical and stable long-term results.

Area of Science:

  • Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthodontics
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • True hemimandibular hyperplasia is an uncommon maxillofacial deformity.
  • It presents with facial asymmetry, increased ramus height, and mandibular kinking.
  • Advanced cases involve alveolar bone overgrowth, occlusal canting, and malocclusion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the pathology of true hemimandibular hyperplasia.
  • To define preexisting nomenclature.
  • To report on surgical treatment outcomes for affected patients.

Main Methods:

  • Review of nine patients treated over a 9-year period.
  • Application of various surgical correction methods.
  • Clinical and long-term outcome assessment.
