Segmental osetotomy in the correction of anterior bite

The management of the anterior open bite may be quite  challenging  and in some cases necessitates a multidisciplinary approach.  We present here a  patient suffering from an anterior open bite with an ankylosed central incisor due to previous trauma. The anterior open bite was corrected using conventional orthodontics and the ankylosed incisor was repositioned in the correct tri dimensional position using segmental osteotomy. The repositioned bone block needed 5 months of stabilization and the prosthetic rehabilitation of the anterior maxilla was completed using e-max crowns. At 24 months ,the result  was stable with no relapse and an excellent pink and white esthetic score.

PTERYGOID IMPLANTS IN THE TREATMENT OF TOTALLY AND PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS MAXILLA

Pterygoid implants are an old therapeutic option for the treatment of atrophic posterior maxilla that is often overlooked in today’s treatment options. This lecture addresses the perceived anatomical risk that is often associated with this procedure and tries to elucidate the controversies on the subject. It will expose the scientific documentation of the procedure and will present the modern approach in using the pterygoid implant for the rehabilitation of totally and partially edentulous patients. The place of guided surgery in performing this procedure is also discussed.
