Abstract |
Objectives |
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of primary osteo-distraction prior to ankylosis release in patients, diagnosed with sleep apnoea, facial asymmetry, and reduced quality of life secondary to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis.
Methods |
Ten patients in the age group of 13–40 years with TMJ ankylosis underwent primary osteo-distraction for mandibular advancement. They were evaluated pre- and post-operatively using radiographs, various questionnaires, and subjective evaluation of facial asymmetry, sleep apnoea, and quality of life (QOL).
Results |
All the ten patients showed significant improvement in their sleep apnoea symptoms with a mean of 6.20 ± 1.39 (P < 0.05). The mean advancement of the mandible in all the ten patients (both bilateral and unilateral ankylosis) was 15.8 mm (P < 0.05). The quality of life showed marked improvement from very poor to very satisfactory (P < 0.001).
Conclusion |
Primary mandibular distraction is an effective method of correction of facial asymmetry, sleep apnoea, and quality of life in patients with TMJ ankylosis.
