Facial asymmetry, following early childhood condylar trauma, is a common complaint among patients who seek surgical treatment. G.D.M., a 27-year-old male patient, sought professional help to correct his cosmetic flaw, caused by a condylar fracture when he was 8-years-old. After the proper orthodontic treatment, he underwent a double jaw orthognathic surgery and, 9 months later, a second one to correct the remaining asymmetry. Two years after this second procedure, the patient is still under surveillance and has no complaints.

Relasi dental dan skeletal tercapai kelas I, interdigitasi gigi rahang atas dan rahang bawah mengunci, fungsi pengunyahan terkoreksi serta pasien merasa sangat puas dengan estetika wajahnya.Kata kunci: Maloklusi skeletal kelas III, asimetri wajah, canting maksila, crossbite anterior, crossbite posterior unilateral, bedah ortognati. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Facial asymmetry due to maxillary occlusal cant often becomes a facial aesthetics complaint. Treatment of severe occlusal cant requires a combination of fixed orthodontic treatment with orthognathic surgery. This case report was aimed to describe the combined fixed orthodontic treatment of Le Fort 1 in maxillary occlusal cant of class III dentoskeletal malocclusion with facial asymmetry. Case report: A female patient aged 17 years seven months came to the private clinic, complained of oblique maxillary teeth, and the right posterior was unable to masticate comfortably. The patient wants to be treated for her teeth and jaw. Extraoral examination revealed facial asymmetry, sunken profile and slightly protruding chin. The intraoral examination resulted in the maxillary median line that shifted to the left, mandible shifted to the right, anterior crossbite, unilateral posterior crossbite, and retrusion of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. The lateral cephalometric analysis resulted in class III dentoskeletal malocclusion. The diagnosis was class III dentoskeletal malocclusion with maxillary occlusal cant, facial asymmetry, anterior crossbite, and posterior unilateral crossbite. The treatment plan was fixed orthodontic treatment combined with Le Fort orthognathic surgery. The treatment was carried out in 4 stages: decompensated orthodontic treatment, maxillary orthodontic treatment, post-orthognathic surgery orthodontic treatment, debonding, and retainer placement. Conclusion: Class III skeletal malocclusion with maxillary occlusal cant, facial asymmetry, anterior crossbite, and the unilateral posterior crossbite was successfully treated with a fixed orthodontic appliance and Le Fort 1 orthognathic surgery. The dental and skeletal relations were achieved for class I, the interdigitation of the maxillary and mandibular teeth was locked, the masticatory function was corrected, and the patient was very satisfied with her facial aesthetics.Keywords: Class III skeletal malocclusion, facial asymmetry, maxillary cant, anterior crossbite, unilateral posterior crossbite, orthognathic surgery.

Condylar hyperplasia (CH) is a rare, self-limiting process manifesting between the first and third decades of life. CH causes facial asymmetry and derangement of the occlusion. Management involves resection of the condylar head and orthognathic surgery. This paper describes the case of a 37-year-old woman with spontaneous onset of CH over a span of approximately 25 years. The condition was managed with resection of the condyle alone, which dramatically improved facial asymmetry and altered the occlusion within a few months of follow up. Orthodontic treatment was then carried out and the patient underwent orthognathic surgery after 3 years. The patient is currently satisfied with her appearance and function and there are no signs of recurrence.

Introduction. Due to its contents and relations with neighboring regions, the infratemporal fossa has a great clinical significance. Primary tumors of this region, both benign and malignant, are rare, but they do require surgical treatment, which is determined by the size and localization of the tumor. Case Report. The paper presents the case of a 72-year-old female patient who was referred to hospital for paresthesia in the left half of the face after having been found to have a tumor of left infratmeporal fossa by imaging methods. The tumor was completely removed by transfacial-transzygomatic approach and, according to histopathological findings, it was a schwannoma. The postoperative course was without complications and the patient did not have any discomforts at the check-up a month later. Conclusion. In addition to the accurate diagnosis, the success rate of the surgical treatment of tumors depends on the appropriate surgical approach to ensure the complete removal of the tumor while preserving the content of the infratemporal region.

RESUMO  A assimetria facial é uma anomalia que ocorre entre partes homólogas da face, que pode gerar diversas alterações na harmonia facial e problemas funcionais, como dificuldade mastigatória. Essas alterações podem causar grandes prejuízos psicossociais ao indivíduo que possui esse tipo de anormalidade dentofacial. Dentre as opções terapêuticas, a que mais se destaca é a cirurgia ortognática pois produz resultados previsíveis e com boa estabilidade a longo prazo. O objetivo do presente trabalho é relatar o caso clínico de uma paciente portadora de látero-desvio mandibular e importante assimetria facial, apresentando o resultado alcançado com a cirurgia ortognática bimaxilar e discutir a literatura especializada. Palavras-chave: Cirurgia ortognática; Látero-desvio mandibular; Ortodontia.   ABSTRACT  Facial asymmetry is an abnormality that occurs between homologous parts of the face, which can generate several changes in facial harmony and functional problems, as masticatory difficulty. These changes can cause great psychosocial damage to the individual who has this type of dentofacial abnormality. Among the therapeutic options, the most common is orthognathic surgery, because produces predictable results with good long-term stability. The aim of the present study is to report the clinical case of a patient with mandibular lateral deviation and an important facial asymmetry, presenting the result achieved with bimaxillary orthognathic surgery and discuss the specialized literature. Key words: Ortognatic surgery; Mandibular lateral deviation; Orthodontics
