Statement of the problems: Transverse maxillary deficiency may occur selectively in either anterior or posterior arch. As it is found in cases of dental crowding, impacted teeth and maxillary constriction…
Today’s dentistry standards in alveolar and implant treatment demand perfect smiles. Esthetics constitutes one of the principal challenges in every treatment, and specially in maxilofacial surgery. The evolution and technology…
Introduction: Distraction for cleft retruded maxilla mostly involves movement of the whole maxilla at Le Fort I level and is characterized by higher relapse rate and hampering of speech. Hence…
Clefts are congenital malformations characterized by anatomic division of upper lip, alveolar process, hard and soft palate. It can extend until velopharigeal tissues. Clefts can be complete or incomplete, as…
Results and the complications showed in 10 patients treated with osteogenical distraction from 2002 to 2007. Treatment is based on the following diagnosis: Hemifacial microsomia 3 After effects of unilateral…
Osteogenic distraction is a useful tool when the treatment goal is bone regeneration and surrounding soft tissue stimulation. It has been indicated for the treatment of several craniofacial deformities and…
Purpose: Distraction osteogenesis has been applied for augmentation of atrophic alveolar ridge. The aim of this study is to evaluate the resorption rate of the augmentated alveolar ridge after implant…
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…
