Abstract

|
|
Facial asymmetery can be most distressing for the young child and parents. It can cause functional problems as a result of malocclusion.
Classification of facial asymmetry has not been yet well-organized because of its varieties on etiologic facotrs, involved sites and clinical expressions. Even though, we don´t know its causes definintely. It is generally belicved that problems
with
aberrant pattern of condylar growth arerelated to facial asymmetry.
This is a case report on surgical correction of the patients who had severe facial asymmetry. One patient was diagnosed as condylar hyperplasia and the other was diagnosed as a condylar hypoplasia related to trauma.
We performed a simultaneous two-jaw surgery, condylar shaving, inferior border ostectomy of affected mandible in the former case, and a simultaneous two-jaw surgery, reverse-L osteotomy and alloplastic implantation with BiocoralTM in the latter
case.
The postoperative results of the two cases were excellent functionally and esthetically.
