Silicone-induced foreign-body reaction after temporomandibular joint arthroplasty. Case report.

Dacron-reinforced Silastic sheets were removed from two patients who had previously undergone surgery for internal derangements of the temporomandibular joint. Excised tissue from around the joints was submitted for histological analysis, revealing a diagnosis of detritus synovitis. The significance of these findings with respect to the insertion of foreign material into the jaw joint is discussed in the light of recent research.

Recent developments in interpositional bone-grafting of the atrophic mandible.

A clinical study on 54 patients, who underwent augmentation of the atrophic mandible by interposed bone-grafts, but in whom routine follow-up vestibuloplasty was deliberately avoided, is presented. The results show a reduced rate of bone resorption in the anterior region and less interference with lip and chin sensibility. An additional study is included concerning the fate of the elevated ridge and associated bone-graft in the body region posterior to the mental foramen. Results suggest that the resorption pattern in this area is very similar to that of a subperiosteal bone-graft. Modification of surgical technique in this regard has produced encouraging results.

The posterior segmental maxillary osteotomy: recent applications.

The application of the posterior segmental maxillary osteotomy to the problem of edentulous space closure was studied in 30 patients so treated. The degree of success was based on several criteria, which included stability, periodontal health, occlusion, and response to treatment. A simplified surgical technique is described and useful surgical aids are demonstrated. The existing literature is reviewed in the light of present findings.

Surgical correction of vertical maxillary excess: a re-evaluation.

Correction of vertical maxillary excess by Le Fort I osteotomy has become a widely accepted practice. Although the downfracture method is used almost exclusively in most major centres, the total maxillary alveolar osteotomy still has its advocates. Two patients surgically treated by total maxillary alveolar osteotomy and presented in this journal are re-evaluated with respect to the long-term stability of maxillary intrusion. Literature pertaining to the stability of the maxilla following intrusion by Le Fort I osteotomy and after various combinations of anterior and posterior maxillary ostectomy is reviewed. The advantages of the downfracture method are discussed. An alternative method of achieving the desired degree of intrusion is presented, which ensures more intimate bone contact.

The origin of the Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy: Cheever's operation.

The Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy so commonly performed today for a variety of reasons had its primitive beginnings in 1867 in the search for a more simple, direct, and less mutilating approach to the nasal cavity for tumor removal. David Cheever, firstly by his successfully repeated downfracture of the right hemimaxilla in one patient, who had complete recovery, followed by the technically successful total maxillary downfracture (although the patient died postoperatively), must occupy a foundation position in the history of the Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy.
