COLLABORATION BETWEEN ORTHODONTIST AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEON ON THE MANAGEMENT OF CLASS III MALOCCLUSION THROUGH LE FORT I OSTEOTOMY
Keywords:
Malocclusion Class III, Orthognatic surgery, Le Fort I osteotomy, dento-skeletal anomaliesAbstract
Examples given by media and social media about esthetics and models of beauty have given to people
more reasons to ask for corrections of face anomalies. On the other hand even the expectations of the patients are
getting more important. That means that the work of the orthodontist and maxillofacial surgeon is getting more
difficult.Nowadays with the pre visualization of the results electronically, challenge is to realize the surgery ‘as the
computer pre visualized.All the patients were treated at Isufi Royal Dental and MaxilloFacial Surgery unit Amavita
Hospital Tirana. In our study 29 patients with dento-skeletal anomalies were treated from them 23 females and 6
males. The ages were from 17-37 and the and the mean age was 22.07 years old. Mostly the procedure performed to
resolve these anomalies were a combined technique Le Fort I and BSSO in 62% of the cases.Complications of these
procedures were minimal like two cases of plate exposure managed without negative outcomes. What concerns the
diagnoses it is made by radiological findings and photographical achievements near to worldwide protocol.
