Super neat photo I got today of a digital representation of my jaw! The red section on the left is what is being removed (along with a sensory nerve), and the titanium mesh on the right is what is going in along with the bone graft and concentrated BMP! #jawreconstruction #jawsurgery #ameloblastoma #jawtumor #titaniumimplant # (at Dr. Murray L Fain) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqbiInqHWLW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y29o9kt66ggb

Dentigerous Cyst Removal with Jaw Reconstruction This young man developed a swelling in his right posterior mandibular region. He presented to our hospital for management. Imaging and biopsies were obtained. He had a radiolucent lesion in relation to an impacted third molar. Biopsy returned with the diagnosis of a dentigerous cyst. Rib grafts were first harvested from the patient. The cyst was completely enucleated along with removal of the impacted third molar. Rib grafts were used to reconstruct the resultant bony defect. He will return in four months following bony consolidation of the grafts with the surrounding alveolar bone. Dental implants will be fixed followed by a ceramic bridge after osseointegration of implants with surrounding bone. 📞 Phone: [phone] 📬 Email: [email protected] 🌍 Website: www.smbalaji.com 📍 Location: Chennai, India #dentigerouscystremoval #jawreconstruction #reconstructivesurgery #biopsy #mandible #dentigerouscyst #cyst #cystremoval #dentalimplants #dentalimplant #implant #maxillofacialsurgeon #smbalaji #drsmbalaji #balajidental #india #chennai #tmilnadu #surgeon #surgery #thridmolar #ribgraft (at Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAKwtQAFalJ/?igshid=hbgf8paj0yvl

Dentigerous Cyst Removal with Jaw Reconstruction This patient developed a swelling on her left mandible near the angle of the jaw and presented to our hospital for management. Imaging studies revealed a radiolucent lesion in relation to a partially impacted third molar. Biopsies revealed the lesion to be a dentigerous cyst. The cyst was removed in its entirety followed by reconstruction of the bony defect with rib grafts harvested from the patient. Dental implants would be placed in the region after consolidation of the rib grafts with the surrounding alveolar bone. 📞 Phone: [phone] 📬 Email: [email protected] 🌍 Website: www.smbalaji.com 📍 Location: Chennai, India #dentigerouscystremoval #jawreconstruction #jawsurgery #reconstructivesurgery #reconstruction #orthognathicsurgery #craniofacialsurgery #craniofacialsurgeon #maxillofacialsurgery #maxillofacialsurgeon #drsmbalaji #smbalaji #balajidental #distractionsurgery #microtiacorrection #india #chennai #tamilnadu #maxillofacial #craniofacial #earsurgery #cosmeticsurgery #cosmeticsurgeon (at Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/CADASvqF_C_/?igshid=30xdwaqa8pir

Lower Jaw Reconstruction for Odontogenic Keratocyst This young man developed a progressively enlarging swelling in the anterior region of his lower jaw. Teeth in the involved region also became mobile. A diagnosis of odontogenic keratocyst had been made at a local hospital. He had subsequently undergone cyst enucleation and root canal treatment of the involved teeth. The cystic lesion had however recurred and he had undergone enucleation of the recurrent cystic lesion. He had been free of symptoms for a year after which the cyst recurred again. His jaw had also developed a pathological fracture near the midline at this point due to excessive bone loss. It was at this point that he was referred to us for treatment. Treatment planning involved extraction of teeth overlying the lesion. He consented to undergoing surgery. Rib grafts were harvested from the patient. Teeth in the involved region were extracted followed by complete enucleation of the cystic lesion. The pathological fracture and the extremely thinned jaw bone was reconstructed with bone grafts and a titanium reconstruction plate. It was explained to the patient that dental implants and crowns will be fixed once there is complete consolidation of the grafts with the surrounding alveolar bone. He expressed understanding and consented to the treatment plan. #jawreconstruction #jawrecosntructionsurgery #reconstructivesurgery #jawsurgery #jawsurgeon #orthognathicsurgery #cosmeticsurgery #maxillofacialsurgery #maxillofacialsurgeon #cystremoval #cyst #odontogenickeratocyst #smbalaji #drsmbalaji #balajidental #india #chennai #tamilnadu #ribgraft (at Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAAbfGzlYTT/?igshid=18f8197tkm891

Gorlin-Goltz Jaw Reconstruction This young man presents with scoliosis and multiple jaw cysts. He carries the diagnosis of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, which is otherwise known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. The multiple jaw cysts were enucleated along with extraction of the involved teeth. Bony defects were reconstructed using rib grafts harvested from the patient. Dental implants were placed after good consolidation of the grafts in six months. Ceramic crowns were placed on the implants after osseointegration with the surrounding alveolar bone. The young man and his parents were very happy with the results of the surgery. 📞 Phone: [phone] 📬 Email: [email protected] 🌍 Website: www.smbalaji.com 📍 Location: Chennai, India #gorlingoltz #reconstructivejawsurgery #jawreconstruction #jawsurgery #drsmbalaji #smbalaji #balajidental #maxillofacialsurgery #maxillofacial #maxillofacialsurgeon #orthognathicsurgery #chennai #india #tamilnadu (at Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_rrpUfhDqf/?igshid=gq7y20rt0whh

Cyst Removal and Jaw Reconstruction Surgery This young man presented with a swelling on the left side of his lower jaw. Imaging and biopsies were obtained, which came back with the diagnosis of an odontogenic keratocyst that involved the ramus and extended up to the neck of the condyle. Surgical resection of the affected part of the mandible was performed. Care was taken to ensure that there were no cystic remnants left behind in the jaw. The resultant bony defect was reconstructed using rib grafts and miniplates. Dental implants will be placed at a later date with placement of ceramic crowns following osseointegration. This will complete rehabilitation for the patient. 📞 Phone: [phone] 📬 Email: [email protected] 🌍 Website: www.smbalaji.com 📍 Location: Chennai, India #Jawreconstruction #reconstructivesurgery #orthognathicsurgery #jawsurgery #drsmbalaji #smbalaji #balajidental #maxillofacialsurgery #maxillofacial #maxillofacialsurgeon #cystremoval #cyst (at Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_rgn7HBta-/?igshid=16o7cjh7ga7yf

Jaw Reconstruction following Xanthoma Removal This young boy developed a swelling on the right side of his lower jaw around a year ago. There was gross asymmetry of his face. His family had taken him to multiple hospitals where biopsies had been obtained, but no satisfactory diagnosis had been made for the patient. He continued to suffer with increasing swelling and discomfort. The patient had finally been referred to our hospital for management. A biopsy was obtained, which returned with the diagnosis of xanthoma. Xanthoma is a rare soft tissue and bone tumor, which is benign in nature but locally aggressive. This will lead to extensive damage where there is involvement of the bone. All affected regions of the ramus of the mandible were trimmed with complete removal of the xanthoma. The involved molars were also extracted. This resulted in an extremely thin jaw bone following complete removal of the lesion. Rib grafts were obtained through a submammary incision and these were utilized to reconstruct the jaw with screws. He was instructed to return in three months following surgery. Imaging studies were obtained upon his return and there was no recurrence of the lesion. There was adequate consolidation of the grafts and formation of new bone at the reconstructed site. His facial symmetry was also reestablished. The patient and his parents expressed their happiness at the successful resolution of his condition and profusely thanked the surgical team. #jawreconstruction #jaw #jawsurgery #jawsurgeryrecovery #smbalaji #balajidental #drsmbalaji #Xanthoma #ribgraft #biopsy #maxillofacialsurgery #maxillofacial #maxillofacial_surgery #reconstructivesurgery #reconstruction #facesurgery (at Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_hmshTBX2N/?igshid=1rrnsz0r0d65

Lower Jaw Reconstruction Surgery This young woman first noticed the development of right-sided jaw asymmetry when she was 8 years old. It had resulted in malocclusion and deviation of her jaw to the left side upon mouth opening. Imaging studies and biopsy were obtained. This revealed right-sided condylar hyperplasia. Taking into account her age and the need to avoid visible scar formation, it was decided to adopt an intraoral approach to perform her jaw surgery. An intraoral incision was made and layered dissection was performed until access was gained to the lower border of the mandible. The height, length and width were reduced taking great care to protect the inferior alveolar nerve throughout the procedure. Perfect symmetry of the jaw was obtained through this procedure. The patient was extremely happy with the cosmetic and functional results of the surgery. #jawreconstruction #jawsurgery #orthognathicsurgery #maxillofacialsurgery #maxillofacial #maxillofacialsurgeon #balajidental #smbalaji #drsmbalaji (at Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_UBWEyB93R/?igshid=1jn3e4g1r2yg8
