Abstract

The definitive reconstruction of associated maxillomandibular deformities in craniofacial microsomia may have different connotations. For instance, if a growing number of patients receive a costochondral graft to reconstruct a temporomandibular joint, and that is able to adequately position the maxillomandibular complex, all the patients may need further orthodontic treatment. In that case, the growing number of patients received a definitive treatment. Most of the times, however, this will not be the case, and the affected side will still need surgical treatment after skeletal maturity. This chapter focuses on the important aspect to be evaluated during clinical examination, treatment planning, and the techniques available to treat a craniofacial microsomia patient that has reached skeletal maturity.
