INTRODUCTION: Young children with severe mandibular hypoplasia usually present with varying degrees of peripheral airway obstruction and difficulty with feeding. Early treatment is important for such children. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The presented case began when a female 15-year-old patient searched a dentist, a specialist in functional orthopedics of the jaws, complaining of large skeletal asymmetry. [scielo.br]

• Disturbance of Growth

  The mandibular condyle is regarded as the center of mandibular growth. Therefore, regional disturbances during the growth phase may negatively impact mandibular growth. [jiaomr.in]

  Indications for orthognathic surgery include: mandibular prognathism; mandibular retrognathia; maxillary excess; maxillary deficiency; and apertognathia (open bite deformity). [aetna.com]

• Receding Chin

  Background : Micrognathia is usually associated with genetic syndromes, characterized by mandibular hypoplasia causing a receding chin. The overall incidence of micrognathia was 1 per 1600 births, makes it a rare case. [jprjournal.com]

• Distractibility

  Distraction osteogenesis (DO) using intra-oral devices provides an excellent alternative when other surgical techniques do not prove to be satisfactory. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Rubio-Bueno et al., performed horizontal ascending ramus osteotomy and distracted the ramus to the desired length. After distraction homolateral posterior and lateral open bite occurred in all patients. [omicsonline.org]

  Mechanical approaches include compressive loading of the distraction regenerate, increased frequency of small increments of distraction, and compression-distraction. [aetna.com]

  Summary : Distraction osteogenesis is one method for correcting congenital mandibular hypoplasia. [jprjournal.com]

AIM OF THE WORK: To evaluate the long-term efficacy of intra-oral bilateral DO in the treatment of severe congenital mandibular hypoplasia in early childhood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The surgical treatment depends on the degree of deformity. [westvillageplasticsurgery.com]

Treatment is aimed at improving the facial aesthetics as well as the functional bite (occlusion). Dr. [craniony.com]

Deferring treatment until the patient is closer to completion of facial growth (girls, 15 years old; boys, 17–18 years old) helps minimize subsequent contralateral normal growth effect on the treatment outcome. [drlarrywolford.com]

Prognosis Prognosis is variable and depends on the presence and severity of associated cardiovascular, neurological and other complications. [patient.info]

The overall prognosis is highly variable dependent on the presence of other associated anomalies. Distraction osteogenesis is a surgical procedure that may be helpful. [texaschildrens.org]

The prognosis is generally favourable. We present a very rare case report of bony fusion between the maxillary and mandibular alveoli without any other associated anomaly. [ispub.com]

Thus, corroborating above statements that hypoglossia with limb anomalies has a poor prognosis. Tongue is the most agile, adept and versatile appendage in the human body. [ijdr.in]
