| Popis: | Oromandibular limb hypogenesis syndrome is a rare developmental anomaly and only a few cases are reported with complete surgical and orthodontic rehabilitation. An adult male patient with isolated hypoglossia, micrognathism, hypodontia, (oromandibular limb hypogenesis syndrome type I A) was treated with a combination of distraction osteogenesis and orthodontic intervention. The patient was followed up for the duration of 6 years from his first visit to 4 years after the surgery. The combined procedure resulted in successful and satisfactory treatment of the patient by restoring facial aesthetics, occlusal balance, and functional harmony. However, there was not enough tongue enlargement due to late surgical intervention. The objective of this report is to describe the etiology of hypoglossia, the consequences for oral function, and to share our experience from the oral rehabilitation during the treatment procedure. |
