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…
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…
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…
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…
Hodgkin’s Lymphoma represent one type of lymphatic tissue malignant neoplasm. Current treatment of this pathology includes chemotherapy and radiotherapy of the affected fields. It is well-known that a bone injury…
Since it was introduced by Perthes in 1924 and with it’s different modifications (Obwegesser 1955, Dalpont 1961, Wolford 1985) through-out the years, the mandibular sagittal split osteotomy has been the…
Introduction: Segmental osteotomy is a surgical procedure of dentomucoalveolar or mucoalveolar flap movement to another position inside the maxilla. Objective: Case report of anterior segmental osteotomy in a patient with…
Aim: to evaluate the postoperative stability after maxillomandibular orthognathic surgery in different planes with regard to repositioning vector and magnitude as well as rotation of occlusal plane. Materials and methods:…
Masseteric hypertrophy is a relative common clinical finding in the general population. It may be associated with a parafunctional habit or occurs as an idiopathic entity. Temporalis muscle hypertrophy is…
