A 26-year-old man from Singapore reported to our hospital seeking to correct his bite and replace his missing upper front teeth. He gave a history of having met with a vehicular accident in which he had sustained complex, multiple fractures of the upper & lower jaw, cheek & eye bones and forehead. The fractures were treated elsewhere. Subsequently he developed an incorrect bite because the jaw fractures were not fixed in proper occlusion.
Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji removed the bone plate from the lower jaw and successfully performed an Obwegeser sagittal split osteotomy realigning the lower jaw in accurate relation with the upper jaw to correct the bite. Dental implants were placed in the missing teeth region of the upper front jaw. Later ceramic crowns will be fixed to the implants to complete the dental rehabilitation.
