title: [A girl with congenital hemifacial hypertrophy].
abstract: A girl with congenital hemifacial hypertrophy had been observed and treated by a multidisciplinary team for craniofacial disorders in an academic medical centre since birth. At the age of 8 she was treated on account of considerable facial asymmetry and multiple intraoral problems. The two-step surgery involved reduction of the maxilla and the zygoma, reduction of soft tissues, removal of the teeth on the affected side, correction of the alveolar ridges of the maxilla and the mandible and placement of oral implants. After a healing period of 4 months fixed partial dentures were constructed on the implants.
