Abstract:

Posterior facial height disturbances may result from many problems; trauma, ankylosis, congenital and after tumor ablation leading to faciala symmetry and occlusal disturbances. This study was carried out on 20 patients of posterior facial height disturbances patients some of these patients were reconstructed with split rib bundle graft and the other 10 patients were reconstructed with artificial condyle. Patients reconstructed with artificial condyle exhibited more functional and aesthetic problem results with long term stability than the group reconstructed with split rib bundle graft.
