  • Title: How to Achieve Facial Balance by Mandibular Contouring Ostectomy in Hemimandibular Hyperplasia.
    Author: Pinto I, Pinhão Ferreira A, Figueiredo AA.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2017 Jul; 28(5):1362-1364. PubMed ID: 28570396.
    Abstract:
    Hemimandibular hyperplasia is a rare type of condylar hyperplasia which leads to facial asymmetry. Its surgical correction may be challenging since it usually requires complex mandibular osteotomies. Mandibular inferior border ostectomy is poorly described in the literature. The aim of this report is to present a new surgical technique guided by a customized surgical splint manufactured using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing technology. Very good aesthetic results are achieved as it is very precise.
