Abstract
Craniofacial deformity and malocclusion are primary concerns following temporomandibular joint ankylosis (TMJa) in growing patients, and they pose even greater challenges in adult patients. The treatment objectives always involve restoring proper jawbone structure, achieving stable occlusion, and attaining satisfactory joint mobility. This report presents a 4-year follow-up of an adult patient with TMJa-induced mandibular deviation, who underwent a combined treatment approach involving distraction osteogenesis (DO) and orthodontic-orthognathic surgery. Orthodontic treatment resulted in favorable occlusion and improved facial esthetics. A new condyle with a reconstructed glenoid fossa in a forward position was established after mandibular DO and the damaged TMJ experienced self-remodeling owing to functional improvement. Thus, this case demonstrates the efficacy of DO in promoting adaptive TMJ self-remodeling with long-term stability when treating mandibular deviation caused by condylar ankylosis in adult patients.

Characterization of Upper Airway and Analysis of Potential Risk Factor Associated with OSA in Patients with Unilateral Temporomandibular Ankylosis and Micrognathia Deformities. JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2023:101708. [PMID: 38006945 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2023.101708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/27/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To ascertain the airway characteristics in patients with unilateral temporomandibular joint ankylosis and maxilla-mandibular deformities (UTMAMD) and investigate the potential risk factors associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among UTMAMD patients. METHODS Authors conducted a retrospective single-center study to assess and compare study group consisting of a cohort of 32 patients diagnosed with UTMAMD between January 2011 and July 2022 with control group including 54 participants. The study group was further divided into two subgroups based on the presence or absence of OSA in patients. Parameters related to the upper airway were measured and analyzed using three-dimensional reconstruction of computed tomographic scans. The measurements of airway parameters were compared between study group and control group and between two subgroups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to identify the factors associated with the presence of OSA, and a multiple variable regression model was used to identify risk factors for OSA. RESULTS Airway volume (VOL), Minimum cross-section area (min CSA), mean CSA, tilt in sagittal plane (TS), and tilt in sagittal plane (TC) in velopharynx; VOL, airway length (AL), min CSA, mean CSA, TS, TC, and airway deviation (AD) in glossopharynx; min CSA, TS, and AD in hypopharynx were found difference with significance between study group and control group. Lateral dimension/anterior-posterior dimension (LAT/AP) ratio in velopharynx and min CSA, TC, and LAT/AP ratio in glossopharynx were significant different between patients with UTMAMD with OSA and without OSA. CONCLUSIONS The upper airway of patients with UTMAMD exhibits significant narrowing and distortion, rendering them susceptible to suffer from OSA. Patients with UTMAMD and OSA demonstrate more elliptical airways, and the glossopharyngeal LAT/AP ratio is a predictive indicator for the occurrence of OSA.

Rehabilitation of Dentofacial Asymmetry Secondary to Unilateral Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis with Dual Distraction and Fixed Orthodontics - Stability at Three-year Follow-up. Prague Med Rep 2023; 124:265-282.

Abstract
Optimal rehabilitation of asymmetric dentofacial deformity secondary to unilateral temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is often a challenge. The purpose of this case series is to present an insight into esthetic, occlusal and functional rehabilitation of two patients with varying degree of asymmetric Class II dentofacial deformities secondary to long-standing unilateral TMJ ankylosis. The patients were treated with one-stage surgical protocol employing simultaneous dual distraction technique along with interpositional arthroplasty. Dual distraction technique entailed the simultaneous use of two distractors which allowed for proper control of proximal condylar segment during the course of distraction and lowering the risk of ankylosis recurrence. Thereafter, comprehensive fixed orthodontic mechanotherapy involving the use of temporary anchorage devices was instituted to align and level the compensated dentition. Post-treatment records showed significant improvements in skeletal disharmony and functional stability with good functional occlusion. At the three-year follow-up, the morphological and functionally acceptable results were reasonably well-maintained, with no signs of relapse. Through the two cases reported here, we would like to highlight that one-stage concurrent arthroplasty and dual distraction technique is a safe, stable, and reliable approach for surgical and functional rehabilitation of an adult asymmetric dentofacial deformity secondary to unilateral TMJ ankylosis. Meticulously executed comprehensive orthodontic manipulations involving use of acrylic bite-blocks, elastic traction, and temporary skeletal anchorage device play a crucial role in enhancing the final occlusal outcomes.

[PMID: 34462381 PMCID: PMC8408644 DOI: 10.5125/jkaoms.2021.47.4.239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2020] [Revised: 10/30/2020] [Accepted: 11/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
The paper reviews various classifications and surgical techniques for the treatment of temporomandibular joint ankylosis. PubMed, EBSCO, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched using a combination of keywords. Articles related to classification, resection-reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint, and management of airway obstruction were considered and categorized based on the objectives. Seventy-nine articles were selected, which included randomized clinical trials, non-randomized controlled cohort studies, and case series. Though several classifications exist, most classifications are centered on the radiographic extent of the ankylotic mass and do not include the clinical and functional parameters. Hence there is a need for a comprehensive staging system that takes into consideration the age of the patient, severity of the disease, clinical, functional, and radiographic findings. Staging the disease will help the clinician to adopt a holistic approach in treating these patients. Interpositional arthroplasty (IA) results in better maximal incisal opening compared with gap arthroplasty, with no significant difference in recurrent rates. Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is emerging as a popular technique for the restoration of symmetry and function as well as for relieving airway obstruction. IA, with a costochondral graft, is recommended in growing patients and may be combined with or preceded by DO in cases of severe airway obstruction. Alloplastic total joint replacement combined with fat grafts and simultaneous osteotomy procedures are gaining popularity. A custom-made total joint prosthesis using CAD/CAM can efficiently overcome the shortcomings of stock prostheses.

Abstract
Temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is a common cause of acquired mandibular deformity in children and adults. It causes reduced mouth opening and limitation of functional movements resulting in mandibular growth impairment leading to mandibular retrognathism and facial asymmetry. The treatment of TMJ ankylosis is challenging, not only due to the complexities involved and the risk of relapse but also because it requires a high degree of patient cooperation. The treatment may be performed in 1 or 2 phases consisting of the initial release of ankylosis with or without condylar reconstruction, followed by a correction of mandibular hypoplasia and of facial asymmetry by orthognathic surgery. Distraction osteogenesis has been proposed to treat cases with severe deformity due to its inherent advantages of generating new bone and soft tissue. This case report describes the staged treatment of a patient with unilateral TMJ ankylosis. The patient presented with significant facial deformity due to mandibular retrognathism and facial asymmetry as a consequence of impaired growth. The treatment objectives included releasing ankylosis to establish mouth opening, addressing the dentofacial deformity and achieving a normal occlusion. The patient was treated with a combined surgical-orthodontic approach including distraction osteogenesis. The case was treated with a rigid external distractor and CBCT generated facial models were used to plan and execute adjunctive surgeries. The staged treatment approach resulted in a significant improvement of facial aesthetics.
