PARTE I
ORTHOGNATHIC TREATMENT
Orthognathic treatment has a long tradition in the German speaking countries. Lots of surgical methods has
been developed, but only the evolution in anesthesia, orthodontic treatment and rigid fixation methods has
lead to the high standard of quality that we have today. Modern treatment is based on a precise diagnosis, a
preoperative orthodontic treatment, that allows for simple, standardized procedures and individual planning,
respecting the individual facial harmony. The operative part of the treatment should be a low-risk procedure
that is characterized by a fest recovery and stable results. It is not to forget, that all current procedures have
a risk for serious complications, what will be shown in different examples. Beside the standard osteotomies,
distraction osteogenesis has become part of the concept. The initial enthusiasm is non-reduced to a more
realistic view and needs through evaluation. The expected advances in orthognathic treatment will be formed
in the field of digital 3-D planning prediction and perhaps computer assisted surgery.
PARTE II
RECONSTRUCTION OF THE MANDIBLE AND MIDFACE
Despite the fact that the tumor depend end prognosis of spinal cellular carcinoma has not improved doing the
last 50 years. The methods of reconstruction of the mandible and midface are closely related to the term of a
quality of life. The use of alloplasts in or without combination of tissue transform offers us a full armamentarium
of possibilities. It will be shown, how the indication for different reconstruction methods is made and we will
discuss our experience in this field of application.
