We present the first long-term data of osteosynthesis of condylar head fractures using 1.7 mm small fragment screws via a retroauricular approach. Functional and anatomic parameters regarding loss of vertical…
Introduction: Surgical treatment of mandibular condyle fracture can offer functionally stable osteosynthesis, which enables early rehabilitation. However, there are few studies on this topic. Aim: The aim of the present…
Background and Objectives: Injuries to the mandible often result in mandibular condylar fractures. Various approaches have been advocated for accessing the mandibular condyle. The aim of this paper is to…
Management of condylar head fractures of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) remains a source of controversy. Based on established literature, conservative treatment of condylar head fractures increases the risk for TMJ…
Objective: This study aimed to found the effective site in the nasal vestibule which can give a cogent support to maintain the postoperative shape and guide the development of alar…
Background: It is known that parents and cleft-patients are actively searching for online information and participating in online forums. Since there are no studies available on the quality of online…
Background and objectives: In the treatment of cleft lip and palate (CLP), it is ideal for the patients to get best results after all the treatments have been completed. We…
Objective: Measurement of treatment outcome is crucial in estimating the success of cleft management. The aim of this study was to assess the surgical outcome of cleft lip and palate…
Background: The most frequently reported facial clefts are clefting of the palatine bone and the alveolar process of the maxilla. In 75% of the cleft lip and palate occurrences, the…
Background and purpose: In case of cleft lip, we have performed an early neo natal surgery during 20 years. Before ultrasonography diagnosis, in front of parent’s psychological distress, we thought…
Aim: To investigate by a longitudinal retrospective study the stability of the transverse maxillary expansion after SPSMO in CLP patients. A second aim was to compare these data with non-CLP…
Background and purpose: Today primary repair of cleft lip and palate is not only a lip closure. The repair has become a nasal and lip repair. A good result on…
Methods: In our proposed technique of nasoalveolar cleft repair, nasal and oral mucosal flaps are elevated. Once nasal mucosa is sutured, cyanoacrylate is applied to nasalflap. Nose is irrigated to…
Aim: To evaluate the impact made by a surgeon in a multidisciplinary speech investigation clinic. Method: A multidisciplinary speech investigation clinic has been structured at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital…
Background and objectives: Alar base deformities is a common finding in a alveolar cleft patients. Due to distorted anatomy of the maxilla and lack of maxillary bone support in this…
Objectives: Alveolar bone grafting is a common procedure in the treatment of maxillary defects in cleft patients. The defect has a complex 3D form and can be difficult to visualize….
Background and objectives: A secondary correcting cleft lip nasal deformity is a challenge due to its complex nature. The aim of this study is to present our experience of secondary…
Objectives: To report the successful results using autogeneous tooth bone graft material (Auto-Tooth Bone) in alveolar cleft patients. Auto-Tooth Bone is composed of bio-recycled extracted teeth developed in Korea used…
Background/objectives: One in six to seven hundred babies are born with cleft lip/palate annually in the UK. The psychological implications on children and immediate family can be severe, primarily due…
