Surgery First approach from the viewpoint of an oral and maxillofacial surgeon
- Slovenská zdravotnícka univerzita, Lekárska fakulta, Katedra čeľustnej ortopédie, Bratislava
Orthodontic-surgical treatment of skeletal defects is one of the most complex, but also the most interesting parts of orthodontics. The Surgery First (SF) approach is a relatively new procedure, which differs in its nature from the standard combined orthodontic-surgical therapy. At the beginning of the treatment, the patient undergoes orthognathic surgery to balance skeletal proportions. During operation, the original malocclusion is replaced by a new malocclusion, which can later be modified orthodontically. The absence of a decompensation phase, an immediate change in the facial profile and a significantly shorter time of treatment are the main advantages of SF compared to the standard combined therapy. In this article we want to present a new therapeutic procedure, its advantages, disadvantages, indications, contraindications, and describe the treatment planning and the therapeutic procedure itself from the viewpoint of a maxillofacial orthopaedist.
Keywords: orthognathic surgery, surgery first approach, standard combined therapy, orthodontics, regenerative acceleration phenomenon
