Résumé
La chirurgie orthodontique comprend toutes les interventions dento-alvéolo-maxillaires en rapport direct avec des indications orthodontiques. Elle se différencie de la chirurgie orthognathique, composante de la chirurgie maxillo-faciale, qui s'inscrit dans la correction des bases osseuses maxillaires et mandibulaires.
Le chirurgien a quasiment la nécessité et l'obligation avant de passer à l'acte de s'entourer d'un bilan radiographique. Ce bilan radiographique est rarement de nature diagnostique, il s'agit le plus souvent d'un bilan anatomique.
Le praticien dispose actuellement tout à la fois des moyens de l'imagerie radiographique conventionnelle et des moyens de l'imagerie médicale moderne représentés essentiellement, en ce qui concerne la chirurgie buccale ou maxillo-faciale, par la tomodensitométrie : que choisir, à quel moment et pour quel objectif ?
Abstract
Orthodontic surgery is a category that includes all dento-alveolo-maxillary operative procedures undertaken to assist orthodontic treatment. It can be distinguished from orthognathic surgery, a component of maxillo-facial surgery, which corrects skeletal malformations of the maxilla and the mandible.
Surgeons have the clear responsibility of providing themselves with an adequate radiographic assessment of the anomaly they propose to treat before beginning any intervention. This radiological record is usually an anatomic assessment and not diagnostic in nature.
Today, surgeons not only have conventional radiographic techniques at their disposal but can also obtain modern medical images that, in oral or maxillo-facial surgery, consist, essentially, of computerized tomographic X-Rays. What radiographs should they select, when should they take them, and what objectives should they have for their use?
