As the authors have reported before, bone regeneration from periosteums was observable in a short term on rat models of mandibular condyle defect. Bone regeneration started from 3 days after…
Objectives: The objective this study is validate the use of nanoindentation tests in research and to assess the quality of newly formed bone in sheep mandibles submitted to Distraction osteogenesis…
Objective: The premaxillary distraction osteogenesis was used for treatment of maxillary retrusion in cleft lip and palate patients. In this paper, we would like to compare the result of the…
Background and aims: Distraction osteogenesis is a valuable treatment option used in severe alveolar insufficiencies caused by several reasons such as tooth loss, trauma and pathologies. In this presentation three…
Introduction: Vertical lengthening by distraction osteogenesis has been widely used for reconstruction of dentoalveolar defects. However if bone height between the alveolar crest and the anatomical structures is insufficient, performing…
The osteogenesis distraction is an alternative that today corrects transverse deficiencies in upper and lower jaw, though its major use has been spread in the sagital and vertical dimension in…
Anchorage control and reducing the total treatment time has always been fundamental in treatment of orthodontic cases. The recently introduced, dental distraction osteogenesis, technique has considerably reduced the treatment time…
Distraction osteogenesis has evolved as a mainstream surgical technique for lengthening and augmentation of the hypoplastic mandible. However, one of the unfavorable results of mandibular distraction is development of postdistraction…
Introduction: Distraction Osteogenesis (DO) in patients with lower facial clefts is rarely reported. Standard osteotomies are difficult and prone to significant relapse in such patients. Aim: This presentation introduces novel…
The presences of fractures that compromise the midface and inferior thirds of the face either hurdle or impede the use of conventional methods of endotracheal intubation. The airway is traditionally…
Detailed knowledge of the anatomy of the facial nerve and its branches, especially the marginal mandibular, is of fundamental importance in surgical treatment of mandibular fractures by making use of…
This study aims to evaluate the quality of treatment of two techniques of reduction and fixation of zygoma fractures. The sample was 10 patients were divided into two groups. The…
Although considered small, nasal bone fractures may eventually result in aesthetic and/or functional defects. Moreover, the pain caused by surgery is widely debated in the literature as well as the…
The aim of this paper is to report and discuss the injuries of maxillofacial region caused by chainsaw, circular saw, and grinding saw. A prospective analysis of patients treated at…
With the introduction and large-scale use of rigid internal fixation the treatment of patients with mandibular fractures has changed significantly. There are clinical situations in which conservative treatment is effective…
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and reasons for removing bone plates used to fixate mandibular fractures in an inner-city population. Method: This study consisted…
Aim: To determine the epidemiological profile of Craniofacial Trauma (CFT) in adult patients attended at the Emergency Room of Hospital Barros Luco Trudeau (HBLT), Santiago, Chile. Methods: This retrospective epidemiological…
By confronting the management of condylar fractures, there are two possible treatments, one surgical and other orthopedic. Both present indications, advantages and disadvantages, and even according to the preference of…
Objective: To compare the mandibular fractures resolution treated with different fixation techniques according to socio-economic background of the patients. Patients and methods: Patients presenting single or multiple mandibular fractures located…
Condylar fractures has generated more controversy than other maxillofacial fractures because they relate to the complex anatomy and function of the ATM, and because at present no scientific evidence to…
