[Orthognathic surgery with missing teeth].

Abstract

Orthognathic surgery in patients with missing teeth can be divided into two categories. In the first case after tooth loss, specially designed bridging is required using the prosthesis already in place. In the second case in patients with congenital deficiencies, usually sequellae of cleft palate, there is a wider range of therapeutic options which are discussed on the basis of observed cases.

A particular case of deafness-oligodontia syndrome.

Two previous case reports described two sibs affected with both sensorineural hearing loss and oligodontia. Here, we report a similar syndrome in a male patient with an, as yet, undescribed vestibular aqueduct enlargement on tomodensitometry. The analysis of the parent's audiograms is consistent with the suggested autosomal recessive mode of inheritance of this disorder.

Anodontia

Eruptive abnormalities in orthodontic treatment.

In the course of orthodontic practice, it is inevitable that one will encounter what is termed here eruptive abnormalities. These abnormalities include teeth that are impacted, ectopically erupting, or transposed. Hyperdontia and hypodontia are also included for consideration. The treatment plans developed to address these anomalies must take into account the space needs of the patient and how one can best gain, maintain, or redistribute that space. Also, soft tissue reactions to the movements also should be considered.

Anodontia

Solitary maxillary central incisor in the midline associated with systemic disorders.

A single maxillary central incisor in the midline is a rare developmental anomaly. The appearance of a single incisor in place of two teeth may occur as an isolated dental finding that can be related to fusion of two neighboring teeth or to agenesis of a tooth germ. However, the condition has also been reported to occur in association with autosomal dominant holoprosencephaly, growth retardation, and midline developmental defects. This article reports on other systemic defects that can be found in association with a single maxillary central incisor.
