Abstract

|
|
Trauma in the modern society is characterized by multiple injuries, and the several comorbidities are often accompanied by facial bone fracture. The types of multiple facial bone fractures vary from Le Fort to panfacial fracture. Le Fort fracture, which can cause problems, such as facial disfigurement, functional impairment of mastication, malocclusion and speech abnormalities, is a challenging case for plastic surgeons. The purpose of treatment for patients with malocclusion due to Le Fort fracture is to maintain and restore both function and aesthetics. The author reports a case of Le Fort I osteotomy as a surgical correction of traumatic class III malocclusion due to Le Fort III fracture.
