<臨床>Dent-osseous plastyによる上顎前突症の手術例

Abstract

Many reports are available in which surgical correction of maxillary protrusion using Wassmund\u27s method or Wunderer\u27s method are perfomed. Complicated maxillaryprotrusion such as in certain cases with crowding teeth can not be surgically correct by these methods. But there are only a few reports about dento-osseous surgery for such deformities in Japan, because many workers retain some apprehensions as to bone healing of small segments. Recently we performed dento-osseous plasty and mental plasty on a 26 years old female with remarkable maxillary protrusion, crowding of some incisors and mental recession (Class II division I by Angle).We recognized the recovery of sensory of incisors on the segment 14 weeks after operation and removed all splints and retainers 4 months after operation
