Innovative Multidisciplinary Approach for True Hemifacial Hyperplasia and TMJ Ankylosis Case

Posted: December 20, 2024
This case report showcases a successful multidisciplinary approach to managing a true hemifacial hyperplasia with temporomandibular joint ankylosis case. By involving oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, and prosthodontics, the patient's severe facial asymmetry and limited mouth opening were addressed effectively. Treatments included gap arthroplasty, alveoloplasty, orthodontic interventions, dental implants placement, and prosthetic rehabilitation. The 48-month treatment duration led to stable occlusion and improved quality of life for the patient. Collaboration among specialists, setting realistic goals, and utilizing three-dimensional simulations were key in achieving efficient occlusal rehabilitation.
