Le Fort I Interpositional Graft and Mandibular Sandwich Osteotomy for Maxillofacial Rehabilitation after Severe Periodontitis

A 47-year-old woman who had suffered from aggressive periodontitis requiring a number of periodontal interventions over more than 10 years was referred by her general dental practitioner and periodontologist for bone augmentation and implant therapy. Her failing dentition had already been scheduled for extraction. The patient expressed a desire for implant-supported fixed restorations and esthetic improvement of her lower face. She had agreed to consult with a maxillofacial surgeon after the referring dentist had suggested bone augmentation. An initial examination by the maxillofacial surgeon revealed mobility of all residual teeth in a patient who was very unhappy with the function of her removable partial dentures. Due to periodontally migrated flaring teeth and loss of occlusal support, the vertical dimension of occlusion was dramatically reduced. The patient was displeased with her lower face because of deepened nasolabial, commissural, and supramental folds.

* General SAC assessment modifiers that are also part of the ERA. To avoid redundancy they are listed in this section even if no complete ERA has been made.

** Not applicable to the ERA of immediate placement cases and replaced by "Socket Integrity" listed below under "Surgical SAC Classification". For all other placement types this value is a classification determinant and listed here even if no complete ERA has been made.
