M634 Smile Line Reconstruction With Multiple Dental Implants Lee R. Walker, MD, DDS, Los Gatos, CA Reconstruction of the smile line with implants requires careful case planning to ensure optimum esthetic outcome. An understanding of biologic width principles is essential in determining prosthetic platform size, implant diameter, position of implant placement, and appropriate selection of abutments as well as provisionalization techniques. Scientific rational and theories for established and new esthetic protocols will be reviewed with strategies for optimizing esthetic outcomes from both surgical and restorative speaker input.

M635 Reconstruction of Trauma, Tumor, and Major Pre-Prosthetic Defects Robert E. Marx, DDS, Miami, FL Successful reconstruction and rehabilitation of the jaws, today, requires scientific knowledge and surgical skills of bone and soft tissue transplantation. The common tumor related continuity defects after benign tumor surgery, cancer surgery, and osteoradionecrosis, share the findings of missing soft tissue, as well as bone. Continuity defects of the mandible resultant from benign tumor surgeries, mostly do not require specific soft tissue reconstruction. However, a contamination free and infection free tissue bed is needed for a successful bony reconstruction. Bone grafting is, therefore, best accomplished from a transcutaneous approach that avoids oral communications. Cancellous cellular marrow grafts are the superior graft results today, particularly when enhanced with platelet rich plasma growth factor additions, which accelerate bone regeneration and proAAOMS • 2007
duce a more dense graft. Platelet rich plasma has been shown to contain platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor– beta1 and beta2 (TGF– b1 and TGF– b2), vascular endothelial growth factors, (VEGF), and epithelial growth factor (FGF). Cancer related defects and those defects associated with osteoradionecrosis often require significant soft tissue reconstruction first. It is common to place soft tissue flaps such as pectoralis major, trapezius, latissimus dorsi, or sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous flaps together with a titanium reconstruction plate in advance of bone grafting. In the maxilla, the temporalis muscle flap is the preferred flap. In addition, several free vascular soft tissue flaps are useful, such as the radial forearm flap, the circumflex scapular flap, and the rectus abdominus flap. Osteoradionecrosis defects also require hyperbaric oxygen prior to any type of reconstruction. The hyperbaric oxygen protocol of 20 sessions at 2.4 ATA for 90 treatment minutes before elective reconstruction, followed by ten sessions afterward, is the standard of care today.

M636 Orthognathic Surgery: Treatment Planning and Surgical Techniques Larry M. Wolford, DMD, Dallas, TX Surgical techniques in orthognathic surgery have and will continue to undergo modifications and change in an effort to improve the quality of patient care and outcome. This program will present state– of–the–art surgical techniques and research results substantiating the efficacy of these surgical methods. The following modifications will be discussed: 1. Genioplasty A. Augmentation B. Tenon and mortise osseous genioplasty 2. Anterior mandibular subapical osteotomy 3. Mandibular body osteotomy 4. Mandibular ramus sagittal split osteotomy modifications A. Ramus and inferior border osteotomy B. Rigid fixation 5. Maxillary osteotomy modification A. Maxillary step osteotomy and rigid fixation B. Porous block HA grafting 75
