Introduction: The aim of our study was to investigate the role of fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a complement to ultrasound (US) in the evaluation of craniofacial malformations and…
Fibrous Dysplasia is a nonneoplastic developmental bone disease characterized by a progressive replacement of normal bone with fibro-osseus connective tissue. Up to 80–85 percent of cases correspond to the monostotic…
Introduction: Disorders of maxilla growth is one of the principal problems in treatment of cleft lip and palate patients. Objective: To measure palatal landmarks of the hard palate in patients…
Presentation of surgical technique in treating unilateral cleft lip and palate. Surgical technique enabling to close the whole cleft palate and lip during one surgery and connect the tissues without…
Dental infection can be localized in the oral cavity or produce remote infection by hematogenous dissemination of microorganisms or their antigenic components. Method used/case report: We report five cases in…
Background: Neuroblastoma is the most common extra-cranial paediatric solid tumour. This embryonal neoplasm is derived from neural crest cells and usually forms a mass in the adrenal medulla (80%) or…
Cleft is the second most common congenital anomaly in the world. Between other types the bilateral complete CLP is the most complicated one and requests repeated surgery during aging. Many…
Introduction: Non-synostotic cranial deformity is a frequent pediatric event worldwide after the “back-to-sleep-campaign” was initiated to prevent SIDS. Existing clinical classification patterns lack a statistical background and reliability check-ups certify…
Introduction: Tessier 30 or median mandibular facial cleft is a rare congenital abnormality and only 69 cases have been reported in the literature, mostly as case reports. It is often…
With the Le Fort I technique one can move the entire maxilla in the three planes of space and with segmentation we can expand or compress the maxilla. Therefore Le…
Motivation: The Orthognathic Surgery is a surgical technique widely used in the planification of multidisciplinary treatment for the correction of Dentofacial Deformities. All types of osteotomy described in maxilla and…
Introduction: Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disease that affects type I collagen metabolism in quantity or quality. Signs and symptoms of the disease vary from mild to severe, allowing…
During the Orthognathic Surgery, the mechanisms that regulate the thermal homeostasis are deeply altered, secondary a depression of the hypothalamic function and alteration in the mechanisms of production and loss…
The Down Fracture (DF) in Le Fort I osteotomy, triggers a potent reflex whose afferences are mediated fundamentally through V2, and the efferences are mediated by the sympathetic as by…
Introduction: Conventional orthodontic-surgical treatment for the correction of dentofacial deformities takes up a lengthy period of time preparing the patient orthodontically, which sometimes causes a temporary deterioration in the patient’s…
Introduction: Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is among the most variable maxillofacial syndromes showing unpredictable growth patterns. Therefore the severity of deformity greatly differs from total absence of ramus/condylar unit to negligible…
The technological advances as well as great aesthetic expectations of patients in orthognathic surgery have made this procedure an increasingly demanding surgery. Today the patients not only demand functional results,…
This study describes a modification of the Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO) described by Obwegeser-Dal Pont, using a caudal horizontal osteotomy, under the lingula. This osteotomy is done following the…
Introduction: Bilateral sagital split ramus osteotomy is the most frequent technique indicated for mandibular morphological correction in orthognatic surgery, fixed by different osteosynthesis methods. Proposed by Trauner and Obwegeser in…
Acromegaly is an infrequent, chronic and progressive disorder caused by hypersecretion of growth hormone by tumorous pituitary somatotroph cells that leads to disproportionate skeletal, tissue, and organ growth. Diagnosis is…
