Biological basis of maxillary osteotomy
Revascularization studies of “Bell and Fonseca” indicates that’ the maxilla may be mobilized and
repositioned and survival continue as long as mobilized maxilla attached to a broad soft tissue
pedicle’ .
Healing occur even if maxilla segmented into several pieces .
Necrosis occurs only when vascular pedicles are damaged
The multiple sources of blood supply to maxilla and the abundant vascular communications
between the hard and soft tissues constitute the biologic foundations for maintaining dento-
osseous viability despite transcetion of medullary blood supply after osteotomies
Technique to preserve the vascular supply

• Orthodontic appliance used
• Results takes 2-4 months .
• Dental stability is compromised
• Orthopedic appliance
can achieve results in
2-4 weeks.
• Effective before
growth ceases
Results are achieved even
after cessation of growth.

• Healing period of 5 days allows capillary healing across bony gaps. Reestablishment
of this blood supply leads to faster and more complete ossification of the expanded
defects.

LE FORT II OSTEOTOMY
(HENDERSON AND JACKSON, 1973)
 Indications:
 Naso-maxillary hypoplasia, such as Binder syndrome.
 Retruded naso-maxillary complex resulting from mal or
non treated Le Fort II fracture
 Cleft lip and palate deformity
Posterior lacrimal crest down towards
the orbital floor
MODIFIED LE FORT II OSTEOTOMY
 Psillakis, Lapa and Spina (1973) designed modified Le fort II, which
leaves tooth bearing area behind
LE FORT III OSTEOTOMY(GILLIES, 1940)
 INDICATIONS:
• Naso-maxillary hypoplasia along with underdevelopment of malar
bone
• A retruded midface due to trauma
• Pseudo-exophthalmos as a result of shallow orbit
• Mild hypertelorism and telecanthus
• Crouzens/Aperts syndrome
• Craniostenotic syndroms
Incision
 Orbit and nasal root is approached by coronal incision
 Subperiosteal dissection from FZ suture to expose lateral orbital wall
 Periosteum is split vertically at nasal root and malar area to accommodate
anticipated advancement
 Orbital floor is approached by separate conjunctival or subciliary incision
 Buccal vestibular incision to complete osteotomy in posterior maxillary area
Osteotomy
 Osteotomy starts at lateral orbital wall by reciprocal saw extending to the
inferior orbital fissure
 Cut extended through orbital floor crossing the pathway of infraorbital nerve
 Bone cut at nasal bridge links up with osteotomy in the floor behind lacrimal
duct
 Osteotomy in lateral orbital wall carried downward tangentially through
zygomatic bone passing below the buttress
 Posterior separation by pterygomaxillary dysjunction
1} Relapse:
2} Settling:
3} Transverse relapse:
-- common with segmental osteotomies and transverse expansion
-- lack of soft tissue mobilization at the time of expansion
-- inadequate grafting and stabilization along the palatal midline
-- poorly adapted bone plates
-- unstable presurgical orthodontic movements
-- hyperfunctional buccinator muscle activity
 Prevention
-- a bone plate placed across the nasal floor
-- a heavy guage circumferential arch wire in the molar head gear
bracket tubes
-- a transpalatal arch bar to maintain the palatal width
-- an occlusal coverage splint
-- a palatal splint without occlusal coverage
4} Condylar distraction:
-occurs when there are interferences in the tuberosity or
pterygoid plate area
Prevention
-- elimination of bony interferences
5} Bleeding:
- common areas include – descending palatine vessels and
anterior or posterior palatine vessels; PSA vessels; pterygoid
plexus; incisive canal vessels; internal maxillary artery; vessels
associated with the nasal septum and turbinates.
6} Avascular necrosis:
-- initially – gingiva – dusky appearance
-- no refill after tissue blanching
-- sloughing within 12 to 24 hrs
-- exposure of bone/ roots without infection
Prevention and management
-- careful flap design and surgery
-- HBO therapy – 20 to 30 dives
-- conservative debridement and good oral hygiene
-- reconstructive procedures if needed
7} Periodontal defects:
-- trauma to adjacent soft tissues and bone
-- avascular necrosis
-- tearing of interdental soft tissue through the papilla
-- removal of the bony collar around the neck of the teeth
-- vertical incisions at interdental areas
8} Nerve injury
9} Infection
10} Non-union
• Nasal structures-
• Maxillary movements affects the nasal dorsum.
• Alar base widening
• Decrease in nasal tip height
• Widening of philtral columns.
• Decrease in Nasolabial angle
• Supratip break in ANS
• Labial changes-

Editor's Notes

  • #12 EVEN IF IT IS SEGMENTED
  • #17 An upward and posteriorly oriented osteotome will not reliably separate the maxilla from the pterygoid plates. It is also associated with increased risk of bleeding from the pterygoid plexus and internal maxillary artery.
  • #26 Osteotomy ii to occlusal plane Step made in buttress
  • #31 To avoid open bite
  • #37 Adv- direct palatal access
  • #42 2 step procedure for open bite correction
  • #48 Low level osteotomy Ostetomy approaches infraorbital rim Osteotomy including cheek prominence Ramped cut
  • #50 Posterior osteotomy directed inferiorly as it safeguards the Max artery
