The purpose of this study was to evaluate fixation methods and find out which is the best for postoperative stabilization of the maxillary osteotomy using three-dimensional finite element analysis of…
Objective: The intraoral verticosagittal ramus osteotomy (IVSRO) was first described by Choung to correct mandibular prognathism. This osteotomy produces a contact area between the proximal and distal segments allowing a…
Platelet-rich fibrin is a second-generation platelet concentrate, prepared from centrifuged blood. PRF is a fibrin clot rich in platelets without addition of thrombin during preparation. PRF would necessarily have very…

Introduction: The concept of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was proposed by the American College of Chest Physicians and the Society of Critical Care Medicine in 1991. This condition, which…
Introduction: To treat dentofacial deformities the maxillofacial surgeons must make a surgical cephalometric prediction, that can predict which will be the changes in the profile of patients after orthognathic surgery,…
Background: The timing and technique for palatoplasty is very controversial, recent literature advocates for early repair, between six and eighteen months of age. It is using three kinds of techniques…
Severe maxilla-facial disharmonies need a complete three dimensional analysis. This conference describes results of a social program financed by the French National Medical Insurance aimed at improving identification, diagnosis, follow-up…
Summary: The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT), also known as Pindborg tumor, is a rare lesion that represents 1% of odontogenic tumors, although their histogenesis is unknown, the cells that…
Introduction: 30 percent of craniofacial abnormalities on patients have vertical maxillary excess. This condition is usually accompanied with great teeth exposure, gummy smile and mandible clock rotation. The following technique…
