The surgical intervention had the purpose of correcting problems related to his facial structure. For this reason, the first surgeon, Dr. Ramírez explained that “The operation turned out as planned, and what was done with this patient is that he had a dentomaxillary anomaly, so a maxilla was advanced and the mandible was repositioned to the stable bite relationship that we have since the orthodontics”.
Along the same lines, Dr. Ana Guzman explained that “During the visit this Thursday the patient is impeccable, without complications. So we are very happy with the result of the surgery itself and also the aesthetic result as a result of the intervention, although these are not the purposes, but it does have intrinsic repercussions with the technique and planning because ideal beauty parameters are used”.
The arrival of the surgeon Luciano Monroy to the dentistry service brought with it the incorporation of state-of-the-art technology to carry out this type of surgery using a digital method to model and visualize the programming of the intervention, in this sense the professional detailed: “try to provide everything that is three-dimensional planning from a scanner to load the images in a program, and perform the surgery through the computer and not with plaster models as was done before.”
For his part, the head(s) of the CAVRR Dentistry Cost Center, the orthodontist Dr Rodrigo Proust, commented that, “We were not carrying out this type of treatment because we did not have a team of surgeons and for a long time patients who had very severe dentomaxillary anomalies that required surgical correction were left untreated, since they required major surgery.”
