| Popis: | Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of disc repositioning surgery combined with orthodontic treatment in patients with temporomandibular disorder and facial asymmetry. Methods One patient who underwent disc repositioning surgery combined with orthodontic treatment for temporomandibular joint disorder and facial asymmetry was reported. Preoperatively, the patient had a skewed shape of the opening, mild pressure pain in the right preauricular region with left mandibular deviation, and a mismatch between the width of the upper and lower dental arches. In the arthrosurgery department, bilateral temporomandibular disc replacement and anchorage were performed through a transauricular incision, and an auxiliary splint was worn to stabilize the jaw position for 6 months. In the orthopedic department, maxillary skeletal expansion was used in combination with the multiloop edgewise archwire technique to reconstruct the occlusion after 16 months of orthodontic treatment. Results The deviation was corrected by wearing an occlusal splint for six months after joint repositioning and anchoring; moreover, the pain symptoms disappeared, and the cone beam CT examination showed that the bilateral temporomandibular joint space was uniformly enlarged, the lower alveolar ridge midline deviated to the right, the posterior regions of the teeth were bilaterally inverted, and the anterior region and the posterior region of the left side were open. The orthodontic treatment matched the width of the upper and lower dental arches and established the cuspal molar neutrality relationship and the normal overjet coverage of the anterior teeth; additionally, the mandibular position was not obviously skewed. A review of the results of the related literature shows that abnormal occlusal relationships, such as mismatched arch width and skewed occlusal plane, can cause adaptive mandibular deviation, which can lead to the occurrence of TMD. Temporomandibular joint disc anchorage with splint treatment can effectively improve maxillofacial deformity in young TMD patients. After the establishment of a stable, physiologically functional disc-condylar relationship, orthodontic treatment is required to remove the interfering factors to rebuild the occlusion, and long-term postoperative review and follow-up are needed. Conclusion In patients with TMD and mandibular accommodative deviation due to occlusal anomalies, establishing a normal disc-condylar relationship and eliminating occlusal interference through disc repositioning surgery combined with orthodontic treatment can effectively improve facial shape and establish a stable jaw position. |
