Kole's Anterior segmental osteotomy of the mandible is commonly used to close an anterior open bite, to depress an elevated anterior dentoalveolar segment, or to retrude or advance a dentoalveolar segment. The procedure is often combined with an anterior maxillary segmental osteotomy to correct bimaxillary protrusion. We report 53-year-old woman who the extruded state of mandibular anterior alveolar segment was corrected using an mandibular anterior alveolar segmental osteotomy and dental implantation of the anterior maxilla. We planned to remove the old prosthesis, and then perform an anterior mandibular segmental osteotomy and implant restoration of the anterior maxilla. We suggest that anterior segmental osteotomy is very useful for rehabilitating edentulous patients with malaligned alveolar segment.

Anterior segmental osteotomy were performed in 8 patients with Angle's II malocclusion or anterior maxillary protrusion. Cupar's method was used for operation. The period of follow up for patients were 15 months by average. This study discussed the postoperative complications and soft tissue change after anterior segmental maxillary osteotomy. There are not specific major complications.

Background: Anterior open bite is a challenging malocclusion to correct orthodontic treatment. Anterior open bite associated with over-erupted posterior teeth and long lower facial height should be treated by reduction of posterior dimension for esthetic results. Although the possibility of orthodontic treatment of an anterior open bite has increased with the introduction of skeletal anchorage, there are still cases requiring surgery for various reasons. Case presentation: This case report covers an anterior open bite of a 25-year-old man successfully treated with the posterior maxillary segmental osteotomy (PMSO) and miniplates. After the pre-surgical orthodontic treatment, the PMSO between canines and first premolars was performed under local anesthesia and miniplates were placed on the zygomatic buttress. As a result of 28 months of treatment, an impaction amount of 3.5 mm was obtained in the maxillary posterior teeth, and the facial esthetics improved at rest and smile. Conclusion: The impaction of the posterior dentoalveolar segment using the PMSO can be a good treatment option in patients with anterior open bite showing long lower facial height.

Purpose: Mid and lower facial convexity is more common in Oriental people than in Caucasian. Bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion is characterized by procumbent teeth, protruding lips, acute nasolabial angle, gummy smile, receding chin, facial convexity. Especially, pure maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion is less frequent than bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion. Therefore, it is important to make an accurate decision for the operation throughout the history taking, cephalogram, dental cast to arrive at accurate diagnosis and surgical plan. Methods: From December 2002 to June 2004, ten patients with maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion and microgenia were corrected by maxillary anterior segmental osteotomy and advancement genioplasty. 10 patients were analyzed by preoperative and postoperative clinical photography, posteroanterior and lateral cephalograms. Results: No major complications were occurred throughout the follow-up period except one of the over-recessed, otherwise most of the patients were satisfied with the result. Conclusion: We could correct the occulusal relationship with teeth and improve lower facial profile, asthetically and functionally, by maxillary anterior segmental osteotomy and advancement genioplasty.

This article presents a modified palatal pedicled incision design in anterior segmental maxillary osteotomy. This method included the circumcrevicular incisions and two vertical relaxing incisions. Then, it is different from the Couper's method with vestibular horizontal incision and other anterior segmental osteotomy techniques. The main advantages of this method are an improved visibility of surgical field and favorable preservation of palatal pedicle. A patient who had been operated by anterior segmental maxillary and mandibular osteotomy without pre operative orthodontic treatment was analyzed for advantages and complications during the intraoperative and early post operative period. There are no specific major complications such as infection, gingival recession and dehiscence. And the patient had a pleasing esthetic facial appearance.

This is to report a case of surgical and orthodontic of posterior scissor bite, deep bite and gummy smile by the segmental osteotomies. The surgical thechnics procedures used are Peterson's mandibular posterior segmental osteotomy, modified $K{\ddot{o}}le$ technic for mandibular anterior segment and Wunderer's maxillary anterior segmental osteotomy. The results are as follows : 1) Peterson's mandibular posterior segmental osteotomy could be achieved by the buccal approach with some difficulties in accessbility. 2) Upper and lower anterior segmental osteotomies were followed separately to correct the deep curve of Spee, deep bite and gummy smile in shortened period. 3) All alveolar segments were immobilized in preplanned position by the prefabricated palatal and lingual resin splint, therefore intermaxillary fixation was not necessary.

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate fixation methods and determine the best method for the postoperative stabilization of maxillary osteotomy. For our analysis we performed a three-dimensional finite element analysis of stress distribution on the plate, screw, and surrounding bone, as well as displacement onto the plate. Materials and Methods: We generated a model using synthetic skull scan data; an initital surface model was changed to a solid model using software. Modified anterior segmental osteotomy (using Park's method) was made using the program, and four different types of fixation methods were used. An anterior load of 100 N was applied on the palatal surface of two central incisors. Results: The Type 1 (L-shaped) fixation method gave stresses of 187.8 MPa at the plate, 45.8 MPa at the screw, and 15.4 MPa at the bone around the plate. The Type 2 (I-shaped) fixation method gave stresses of 186.6 MPa at the plate, 75.7 MPa at the screw, and 13.8 MPa at the bone around the plate. The Type 3 (inverted L-shaped) fixation method gave stresses of 28.6 MPa at the plate, 29.9 MPa at the screw, and 15.3 MPa at the bone around the plate. The Type 4 (I-shaped) fixation method gave stresses of 34.8 MPa at the plate, 36.9 MPa at the screw, and 14.9 MPa at the bone around the plate. The deflection of the plates for the four fixation methods was 0.014 mm, 0.022 mm, 0.017 mm, and 0.018 mm, respectively. Conclusion: The Type 3 (inverted L-shaped) fixation method offers more stability than the other fixation methods. We therefore recommend this method for the postoperative stabilization of maxillary osteotomy.

Multiple segment osteotomy orthognathic surgery serves to combine the total or segmental maxillary and mandibular correction of the dentofacial deformities with concurrent procedures to provide immediate repositioning to the dento-osseous elements. In addition, splitting the palate may often be necessary to correct a functionally poor relationship of the maxilla to the mandible or the facial skeleton by realigning the maxillary arch. In this case, the discrepancy in a bimaxillary horizontal relationship and the space between the 2nd premolar and 2nd molar was retained after lengthy preoperative orthodontic treatment. However, we could correct these dento-osseous discrepancies immediately by performing midpalatal expansion, anterior segmental osteotomy and symphyseal osteotomy with bimaxillary osteotomies. If the blood supply to each segment segments was maintained and primary closure of the operation site was feasible, multiple segment osteotomy was considered as a very effective technique for treating dentofacial deformities in vertical, transverse, and sagittal dimensions with differential repositioning of all segments.
