The replacement of teeth by osseointegrated implants is usually restricted to patients with completed craniofacial growth. Implant insertions in children, adolescents and young adults who we refer to as young patients are circumvented due to several unfavorable potential effects including trauma to tooth germs, tooth eruption disorders, and multidimensional restrictions of dental alveolus and skeletal craniofacial growth. The clinical and radiographic findings have clearly shown that the implants do not behave like normal erupting teeth during the development of the dentition. Neither does the fixtures move together with the adjacent teeth, but behaves more like ankylosed teeth. This was a …

Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a surgical procedure that uses a distractor through an osteotomy site, by applying mechanical stretching forces to produce new organization. These organizations contain skeleton, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and so on. This article reviewed the comparisons of DO with conventional guided bone regeneration (GBR) and conventional orthognathic surgery (OGS), as well as the introduction of some of the recent case reports, clinical studies and post-surgery stability in relation to the dentoalveolus, maxilla and mandible regions. The success of DO is mainly related to the surgical treatment plan and the techniques. Same as the OGS, pre-surgical DO …
Combined Fronto-Facial Monobloc Distraction Osteogenesis And Orthognathic Surgery In A Patient With Crouzon Syndrome – A Case Report, Yi-Hsuan Chen, Ellen Wen-Ching Ko, Philip Kuo-Ting Chen, Chiung-Shing Huang

Treatment for patients with craniofacial anomalies always presents a great challenge to orthodontists and craniofacial surgeon. Treatment usually requires craniofacial reconstructive surgery, comprehensive orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery. In this article, we report a patient with Crouzon syndrome treated by frontofacial monobloc distraction osteogenesis, comprehensive orthodontics and orthognathic surgery.

The main characteristics of craniosynostosis were premature fusion of cranial sutures with specific skull shapes. There are divided into nonsyndromic and syndromic craniosynostosis. Syndromic craniosynostosis (SCS) was an inherited congenital craniofacial disorder and approximately 15% of craniosynostosis had associated anomalies in the face and limbs. Crouzon syndrome, Apert syndrome, Pfeiffer syndrome and Jackson-Weiss syndrome were the examples of SCS. Increased intracranial pressure (IICP), decrease intracranial volume, corneal exposure, decrease upper airway space, compression of optic nerve and midface hypoplaisa were the indications of surgical intervention. Current treatment modalities such as traditional surgical methods, including monobloc and LeFort III osteotomies as …
