Surgical treatment of patients with different forms of jaw deformations complicated by partial loss of teeth

The purpose of the work is optimization of diagnostics and planning of surgical treatment of patients with different forms of jaw deformations complicated by partial adentia. Material and methods. Complex treatment has been provided to 16 patients with different forms of jaw deformation complicated by partial adentia. 7 patients out of 16 had the diagnosis of skeletal distal occlusion, nine patients with the diagnosis of skeletal form of mesial occlusion. Results. To estimate the treatment results during 6 months, control orthopantomography, computer tomography and teleroentgenogram have been carried out. Teeth rows have also been photographed. We considered the successful criterion of treatment of normal position of temporomandibular joint from both sides, stable state of central occlusion, the state of chewing apparatus, enabling to fulfill the chewing function completely and harmonic appearance satisfying the patient. Conclusion. Serious achievements have been made in the fields of diagnostics of dentoalveolar anomalies. Opened possibilities of 3D visualizations when planning orthognathic operations together with surgical techniques enable to get prognosing results when treating the patients with different forms of jaw deformations. Progress in this field gives possibilities to a great range of indications for treatment.
