The hemifacial microsomia is characterized by variable underdevelopment of the craniofacial skeleton, external ear, and facial soft tissues. So, patients with hemifacial microsomia have an occlusal plane canting and malocclusion with facial asymmetry. Distraction osteogenesis (DO) with an intraoral or extraoral device is a technique using tension to generate new bone with gradual bone movement and remodeling. DO has especially been used to correct craniofacial deformities such as a hemifacial microsomia, facial asymmetry, and mandible defect that could not adequately be treated by conventional reconstruction with osteotomies. It has a significant advantage to lengthen soft and hard tissue of underdeveloped site without bone graft and a few complication such as nerve injury or muscle contracture. A 13-years old girl visited our clinic for the chief complaint of facial asymmetry. She had a left hypoplastic maxilla and mandible, occlusal plane canting and malocclusion. We diagnosed hemifacial microsomia and lanned DO to lengthen the affected side. Le Fort I osteotomy, left mandibular ramus and symphysis osteotomy were performed. The internal distraction devices fixed with screw on maxillary and mandibular ramus osteotomy sites. External devices were adapted to lower jaw for DO on symphysis osteotomy site and to upper jaw for rapid maxillary expansion (RME). At 7days after surgery, distraction was started at the rate of 1mm per day for 13days, and after 4months consolidation periods, distraction devices were removed. Simultaneous multiple maxillo-mandibular distraction osteogenesis with RME resulted in a satisfactory success in correcting facial asymmetry as well as occlusal plane canting for our hemifacial microsomia.

Background: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is characterized by the replacement of normal bone by abnormal fibro-osseous connective tissue and typically treated with surgical contouring of the dysplastic bone. When dysplastic lesions involve occlusion, not only is surgical debulking needed, orthognathic surgery for correction of dentofacial deformity is mandatory. However, the long-term stability of osteotomized, dysplastic bone segments is a major concern because of insufficient screw-to-bone engagement during surgery and the risk of FD lesion re-growth. Case presentation: This case report reviewed two patients with non-syndromic FD that presented with maxillary occlusal canting and facial asymmetry. Le Fort I osteotomy with recontouring of the dysplastic zygomaticomaxillary region had been performed. The stability of osseous segments were favorable. However, dysplastic, newly formed bone covered the previous plate fixation site and mild bony expansion was observed, which did not influence the facial profile. Including the current cases, 15 cases of orthognathic surgery for FD with dentition have been reported in the literature. Conclusion: The results showed that osteotomy did not appear to significantly reduce the long-term stability of the initial fixation insufficiency of the screw to the dysplastic bone. However, based on our results and those of the others, long-term follow-up and monitoring are needed, even in cases where the osteotomized segment shows stable results.

The congenital condition referred as hemifacial microsomia is characterized by underdevelopment, malformation or abscence of certain soft and hard tissue derivatives of the first and second branchial arches and open also of structures which are not derived from the branchial arches, such as the zygoma, temporal bone. This is a report about a 14 years old male patient with the chief complaint of severe facial asymmetry, who was diagnosed as hemifacial microsomia having agenesis of the right mandibular condyle and zygomatic arch. Deformities and rib bone graft on the affected mandibular condyle and body, and LeFort I osteotomy in the maxilla. To correct contour-deficient chin, we performed the genioplasty, and the zygomatic arch was reconstructed with rib bone graft.

Garre 골수염은 혈류 순환 및 영양 공급의 장애로 골이 괴사되거나, 세균 감염이 증가되면 발생한다. Garre 골수염은 치수나 치주 감염에서 시작된 치성계 감염과 이의 진행에 따른 골막 하 농양이 주요 원인이 되며, 외상으로 인한 악골의 복합 골절시 2차 감염, 국소적인 치은의 외상에 의해서도 발생할 수 있다. 상악에서보다 하악에서 많이 발생되며 호발 부위는 하악 제1대구치이다. 임상증상으로 이환 부위의 하악골은 팽창되어 있으나 구강점막은 정상적 색조를 가지며 안면 불균형을 나타낸다. 방사선사진 상 심한 우식증을 가진 치아의 치근단 병소를 관찰할 수 있으며, 자극을 받는 골조직 부위의 치밀골 증가로 골수강은 좁아지거나 폐쇄되며 외양이 불규칙하게 나타난다. 치료 방법으로는 항생제의 투여, 원인치의 발치 또는 근관치료, 절개 및 배농술 등이 알려져 있다. 본 증례는 15세 이하의 소아환자에서 악골 골수염이 발생한 경우, 장기적인 항생제 투여나 항생제 투여 및 근관 치료를 병용하여 성공적으로 치료된 증례이다. 소아 환자의 경우 성인에 비하여 증상이 경미하므로 주의 깊은 병력 청취와 임상 검사를 통한 진단이 요구되며, 증상이 사라진 경우에도 재발을 방지하기 위하여 장기간의 추적 검사가 요구된다.
