Q

T/F: Orthodontic preparation for surgery often is the reverse of conventional orthodontic treatment, so it’s important to make pts aware that things will get worse before they get better

Q

Will the following increase or decrease facial height?

Maxillary LeFort osteotomy (impaction)
Rotate chin up

A

Decrease facial height

19
Q

Open bite or deep bite?

Post-surgical leveling
If exts are done, some ext space is left open prior to surgery
After surgery, the pt’s significant posterior open bite is closed using vertical elastics
This increases the lower facial height

20
Q

Open bite or deep bite?

Pre-surgical leveling or surgical assisted leveling
Tends to make the open bite significantly worse prior to surgery
This allows the surgeon to establish the proper vertical dimension on the pt during surgery

21
Q

List the hierarchy of surgical stability from most to least stable (8)

A

Maxilla up
Mandible forward
Maxilla forward
Maxilla up + mandible foward
Maxilla forward + mandible back
Mandible back
Maxilla down
Maxilla wider

22
Q

What 4 things should you do before surgery?

A

Intrusion
Establish incisor position
Obtain arch compatibility
Everything necessary so set it up for finishing in 6 months post-surgery

23
Q

T/F: As a general rule, it should not take more than a year to get a patient ready for orthognathic surgery

24
Q

What 2 things can wait until after surgery?

A

Extrusion (leveling)
Root paralleling

25
When is the pt ready for surgery?
When the orthodontist thinks the patient is ready for surgery!
26
T/F: It’s important for the orthodontist to see the results of the model surgery because details of occlusion that make no difference to the surgeon can greatly affect time in finishing/post-surgical orthodontics
True
27
Less reliance on surgeon’s judgement as to placement in the operating room and less pre-surgical orthodontics needed
Surgical splint
28
Is a thin or thick surgical splint preferred?
Thin
29
Goal is to prevent tooth movement
Stabilizing archwires
30
What are the post-op expectations?
Lots of swelling Short-term paresthesia of infraorbital nerve (maxilla) and IAN (mandible) Significant pain is uncommon due to paresthesia Usually, 1 overnight hospital stay per jaw
31
Which mandibular technique? Advantages = lower incidence of nerve injury Disadvantages = requires maxillomandibular fixation (MMF); setback only
Intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO)
32
Which mandibular technique? Advantages = versatility; maxillomandibular fixation usually not necessary Disadvantages = nerve injury
Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO)
33
Which mandibular technique? Osteotomy versus implant Osteotomy is highly versatile allowing for movement of the chin in all directions Implant can only augment chin Reports of bone resorption under implants
Genioplasty
34
Which maxillary technique? High degree of versatility (can move superior, inferior, anterior, posterior) Movements limited by anatomic structures, soft tissues Large movements require grafting Dental injury is rare if osteotomy is kept 5mm above apices May be segmented into 2-3 pieces
LeFort
35
What do the following surgery choices do? 1. Surgically-assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) followed by LeFort osteotomy 2. Segmental LeFort osteotomy
Widen maxilla
36
Which has better stability, SARPE or Segmental LeFort?
SARPE
37
Which has only one surgery and the amount of expansion is limited by soft tissue, SARPE or Segmental LeFort?
Segmental LeFort
38
1 or 2 jaw surgery? Indications = deformities in both maxilla and mandible or deformity in one jaw requiring a large, unstable movement
2 jaw surgery
39
Which adjunctive procedure? Excess skin -> upper eyelids, bagginess -> lower eyelids
Blepharoplasty
40
Which adjunctive procedure? Reduce prominence of ears
Otoplasty
41
Which adjunctive procedure? Cosmetic nose surgery
Rhinoplasty
42
Which adjunctive procedure? Complete facelift for deep wrinkles
Rhytidectomy
43
Which adjunctive procedure? For fine wrinkles
Laser resurfacing
