Surgical accuracy in Le Fort I maxillary osteotomies

British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2001
The surgical outcome of planned movements of Le Fort I osteotomies is dependent on the surgeon's ability to achieve such movements intraoperatively. Our aim was to assess the surgical accuracy achieved for 30 consecutive patients undergoing Le Fort I osteotomies treated by one maxillofacial surgeon and his team.Intraoperative control of the mobilized ...

sensory nerve disturbance following le fort i osteotomy

International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1996
This study assessed sensory nerve disturbance after Le Fort I osteotomy using the electric pulp test, pin-prick sensation, fine touch, and cold sensation. After 6 months, 78% of teeth positive preoperatively to an electric pulp tester regained sensitivity.

Le Fort III Osteotomy and Variations

The last five decades have seen decisive advances in orthognathic surgery in terms of surgical techniques and outcomes in the treatment of dysgnathic maxillo-facial malocclusion and deformities. However, despite brilliant technical innovations, the basic surgical principles have remained unchanged. The most common midface osteotomy techniques currently

Miniplate Fixation of Le Fort I Osteotomies

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1986
The use of rigid, internal, three-dimensional fixation using vitallium bone plates in 28 consecutive Le Fort I osteotomies is presented. A minimum follow-up period of 6 months was required for inclusion in this patient group. Maxillary movements included advancements (17), intrusions (9), lengthenings (5), and retrusions (2).

Cranial nerve injury after Le Fort I osteotomy

International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2011
A Le Fort I osteotomy is widely used to correct dentofacial deformity because it is a safe and reliable surgical method. Although rare, various complications have been reported in relation to pterygomaxillary separation. Cranial nerve damage is one of the serious complications that can occur after Le Fort I osteotomy.

Le Fort I Osteotomy – Development of Total Maxillary Osteotomies

The last five decades have seen decisive advances in orthognathic surgery in terms of surgical techniques and outcomes in the treatment of dysgnathic maxillofacial malocclusion and deformities. However, despite brilliant technical innovations, the basic surgical principles have remained unchanged.

Sensory nerve morbidity following Le Fort I osteotomy

Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery, 1986
The Le Fort I osteotomy has been used increasingly frequently in the management of dentofacial deformity since the wide acceptance of the down-fracture technique. The improved access provided by this technique allows movement of the Le Fort I segment in three planes. This paper reviews briefly the neuroanatomy of the area and considers how the surgical

[Horseshoe Le Fort I osteotomy].

Revue de stomatologie, de chirurgie maxillo-faciale et de chirurgie orale, 2014
Performing Le Fort I impaction osteotomy can be compromised or impossible. The intranasal volume of the lower turbinates prevents an important maxillary impaction. In this case, horseshoe osteotomy is an alternative.The first step is to lower the inferior edge of the pyriform aperture and the anterior floor of the nasal fossae with a bur.

Segmented Le Fort I Osteotomies

The most common bignathic osteotomy techniques currently used to correct growth-related sagittal, vertical, and transverse deviations, as in syndromal and non-syndromal maldevelopments, involve Le Fort osteotomies in combination with splitting techniques in the mandible.

Marginal bone level after Le Fort I osteotomy

British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1997
The object of the study was to assess the effect of Le Fort I osteotomy and maxillary interdental osteotomy on the marginal bone level. Forty patients (25 female, 15 male, mean age 24 years, range 15-46) treated for dentofacial deformities comprised the subjects of the study and underwent Le Fort I osteotomy with or without simultaneous interdental ...
