Introduction: Temporo-mandibular joint ankylosis is a common cause of acquired deformity.
Purpose: Surgical correction of the ankylosis only leaves the patient with external facial deformity. This
study was done to evaluate the use if distraction osteogenesis in mandibular hypoplosia attributable to TMJ
ankylosis and to present our protocol in surgical treatment with this relatively new therapeutic option.
Material and Methods: This study was done on seventeen patient with temporomandibular joint and
mandibular deformity. Intra oral unidirectional bone born distractors were used in this study. Patient were
categorized into three group; Group I underwent arthroplasty followed by distraction osteogenesis. Group II
patients had simultaneous arthroplasty and distraction osteogenesis and Group III patient underwent distraction
osteogenesis to relief upper airway obstruction followed by arthroplasty,
Results: All patient had a satisfactory mouth opening on follow-up and satisfactory correction of external
facial appearance was achieved in all these patients. Some degree of malocclusion which were managed
secondary by orthodontic treatment.
Conclusions: Distraction osteogenesis can be used as treatment to correct facial deformity in patient with
temporomandibular joint ankylosis. Long term follow up of these patient is needed to decide wether
secondary or even tertiary distraction may be required with further growth. |
