The TMJ disorders may be the causative factor of the jaw deformity or may have developed as a result of the jaw deformity, or the 2 entities may occur independently of each other. The TMJs form the foundation for jaw position, function, occlusion, facial balance, and comfort. If the TMJs are not stable and healthy (nonpathologic), patients requiring orthognathic surgery may have unsatisfactory outcomes relative to function, aesthetics, occlusal and skeletal stability, and pain. The most common TMJ disorders that can adversely affect orthognathic treatment outcomes include (1) articular disc dislocation, (2) adolescent internal condylar resorption (AICR), (3) reactive arthritis, (4) condylar hyperplasia, (5) ankylos...

Successful TMJ replacement requires careful preoperative planning, reasonable patient expectations, proper intraoperative technique, regimented postoperative physical therapy, close follow-up, and adequate pain management. Achieving successful TMJ replacement often requires multidisciplinary care from oral and maxillofacial surgeons, pain specialists, internists, physical therapists, and general dentists to optimize patient outc...

Pain, swelling, disruption of diet and speech, airway complications, and the creation of cosmetic deformities all can result from this severe defect of the mandibular zygomatic complex. The basic surgical goals for correction of this deformity are threefold: to free up the ankylosis, to return the patient to function, and to prevent recurrence. The last 2 of these 3 goals are usually dependent on placement of an interpositional barrier following release of the fibrous or bony fusion that can be either prosthetic or tissue borne.

The primary purpose of the procedure is to increase joint space by allowing the mandibular condyle to move inferiorly with respect to both the articular disc and eminence ( and ). An additional goal in some patients is to establish a more normal condyle/disc relationship, particularly for Wilkes I, II, and III (early) internal derangements. This disc relationship can be achieved in many patients by allowing the condyle to move anteriorly in addition to inferiorly ().

In 1983, Dolwick defined it as an abnormal relation between the temporomandibular disc with respect to the mandibular condyle, the temporal fossa, and the temporal eminence of the TMJ. Anterior disc displacement, with or without reduction, perforation of the retrodiscal tissue or the articular disc, and degenerative changes of the disc and/or the joint surfaces, may be present. Clinically, it may be accompanied by pain, limitation of mouth opening, clicking, and locking. In 1989, Wilkes first established a classification to correlate clinical and radiological signs with surgical findings. The Wilkes classification consists of 5 stages based on clinical, radiologic, and intraoper...

Peripheral nerves, including the inferior alveolar and lingual nerves, possess a limited ability to regenerate after traumatic injury. The quality of this regeneration depends on several factors. These include the size and type of injury, location, and the age of the patient. Healing after nerve trauma is complicated, partly because mature neurons do not replicate. Under the right conditions, however, axons can regenerate across relatively long nerve gaps generated due to injury or resection of tumors, reconnecting with distal stump and eventually reestablishing functional contacts. Those nerves that do not spontaneously restore their function require microsurgical end-to-end coaptati...

Sensory retraining is a simple, inexpensive, noninvasive exercise program, which initiated shortly after injury, can lessen the objectionable impression of orofacial altered sensations. Sensory retraining exercises are most effective on decreasing the perceived burden associated with hypoesthetic orofacial altered sensations.

Although this article focuses primarily on trigeminal nerve (TN) injuries and repairs, the facts presented may apply to any peripheral nerve repair. The primary indications for nerve repair or grafting are (1) an injury or continuity defect in a nerve, because of trauma, pathologic condition, surgery, or disease, that cannot regain normal function without surgical intervention and (2) loss of normal neurologic function, resulting in anesthesia, paresthesia, dysesthesia, or paralysis, that cannot be corrected by nonsurgical treatment. In some nerve injuries (eg, neurapraxia), the nerve regains sensory or motor function unless irreversible compression, neuroma (axonotmesis), or transection (neurotmesis) occurs. ...

Removal of an impacted mandibular third molar tooth (M3) presents unique surgical challenges. One such challenge is the risk of injury to the peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve, which provide sensation to the oral and facial regions. Indeed, in the practice of oral and maxillofacial surgery, because of their unfavorable effects on orofacial sensation and related functions (such as eating, drinking, washing, speaking, shaving, kissing), nerve injuries are currently the most frequent cause of litigation against oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMFSs) in the United States. Since the seminal work of Merrill in the 1960s to 1970s on the injury, pathophysiology, and repair...

The risks of injury to the branches of the mandibular division (MdN) of the trigeminal nerve (inferior alveolar nerve [IAN], lingual nerve [LN], and mental nerve [MN]) are known complications of implant restoration of the posterior mandible. The use of advanced imaging modalities such as cone beam computed tomography (CT) scans and high-definition panoramic radiographs can assist in localization of the inferior alveolar canal (IAC). However, despite correct planning, the possibility of injury to the MdN is not entirely eliminated. Sensory dysfunction, especially if persistent or painful, can be distressing to both the patient and the clinician. Alter...

Accurate and complete records of the evaluation are essential, because they may be important in making decisions regarding treatment of the nerve injury.

These injuries can be significant for patients due to their effects on speech, mastication, food and liquid incompetence, and social interactions. Many of these sensory disturbances often undergo spontaneous recovery; however, some may be permanent with varying outcomes ranging from mild hypoesthesia to complete paresthesia. Some patients can also develop untoward outcomes such as neuropathic responses, leading to chronic pain syndromes in addition to their sensory disturbances.

Injuries to the lingual nerve and inferior alveolar nerve are by their very nature difficult to visualize and this contributes to our diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. This issue’s focus is primarily on the specific branches of the mandibular or third division of the trigeminal nerve. With the diagrams, photos, and figures provided by this edition’s authors, it is my hope that maxillofacial surgeons will be provided with a clearer and more precise look at the nerves that they work so closely with, and around, each day.

The etiology of frontobasilar trauma is variable but is often associated with severe multisystem trauma caused by the significant force necessary to disrupt the thick frontal bone. Nahum demonstrated in an experimental model that forces of 800 to 2200 pounds are required to fracture the frontal bone, a force more than 2 to 3 times that required to fracture any other facial bone. Neurologic injuries are therefore common in this population of patients. Cerebral contusion is generally the most common radiographic finding; however, subdural and epidural hematomas requiring operative intervention are present in as many as 10% of the patients.

Lesions of the skull base are seated deep in the skull, are often midline, and usually have multiple delicate critical neurovascular structures intermingled between the pathology and the route required to access the lesion. Injuries to any of these structures could result in significant permanent morbidity and even mortality to patients requiring treatment of a skull base lesion.

A thorough understanding of the microsurgical and functional anatomy of the anterior skull base is crucial for optimal selection of surgical approach and minimizing complications. Frazell and Lewis’ observation, “The entire cribriform plate can rarely be resected without creating cerebral complications” , reflects the therapeutic principles generally accepted in 1963. Since then, innovative and aggressive surgical techniques evolved because of the high rate of failure and complications following radiation therapy for nonresectable tumors in this area. Improved survival rates stemmed from the realization that en bloc resection of the tumor in the ethmoidal roof or cribriform ...

They are a result of a congenital defect in the skull base that allows the brain to herniate through the cranial floor. Encephaloceles are most commonly located in the posterior skull base (75%); however, anterior (sincipital) encephaloceles are considerably more deforming. The herniated cerebral contents may contain the meninges alone (meningocele), meninges and brain (meningoencephalocele), or in severe cases meninges, brain, and part of the ventricular system (hydroencephalomeningocele or meningoencephalocystocele).

Attempts to repair these deformities date back to the sixteenth century. In 1552, Jacques Houllier proposed that the cleft edges be sutured together, but his operation was unsuccessful. Nearly 200 years later, LeMonnier, a French dentist, successfully completed the repair of a cleft velum. It was not until 1816, however, that the first successful closure of a cleft palate was performed by Carl Ferdinand von Graefe in Germany. An interesting approach was attempted in 1826 by Johan Fredrick Dieffenbach, closing the hard palate and the soft palate. The technique consisted of passing wire through the medial aspect of the cleft, followed by lateral incisions to osteotomize the junction of the palatal bones a...

Complications can and do occur with treatment of mandibular fractures and can occur during any of the phases of treatment. The development of an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan is vital in achieving optimal success and decreasing complications. Knowledge of the anatomy and the principles of bone healing is also an important factor in preventing complications. To limit long-term untoward effects, complications should be recognized early and the appropriate treatment should be started before a minor complication becomes a complex one that is more difficult to manage.

Complications can and do occur with treatment of mandibular fractures and can occur during any of the phases of treatment. The development of an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan is vital in achieving optimal success and decreasing complications. Knowledge of the anatomy and the principles of bone healing is also an important factor in preventing complications. To limit long-term untoward effects, complications should be recognized early and the appropriate treatment should be started before a minor complication becomes a complex one that is more difficult to manage.

They offer examples of the difficulties encountered in implants placed in a growing individual, including loss of integration, diminishment of posterior function, and excessive wear or fracture of restorative materials in the anterior region. Because individual growth cessation varies by up to 6 years within each gender, chronologic age cannot be used as a guide in planning implants; rather, ...

Patients who suffer tooth loss resulting from traumatic injuries of the dentoalveolar complex can be divided into growing and nongrowing patients. The placement of dental implants can have deleterious effects on the growing alveolar process. The authors' philosophy is to respect growth and delay implant reconstruction until the cessation of skeletal or alveolar growth, as documented by serial lateral cephalometrics radiographs taken 6 months apart.

No donor site is required; distraction of bone and surrounding soft tissue occurs simultaneously; and the transport segment is a form of pedicled graft that is never separated from its blood supply, maximizing vitality and minimizing resorption. It has the potential for better control of vertical height, esthetics, and biomechanical loading.
