Introduction: The orbital roof is involved in about 5% of all facial fractures. Blow-in fractures are defined as inward displacements of a fractured bony orbital wall resulting in decreased orbital…
Purpose: In Venezuela there are few studies that report the epidemiological pattern of Mandibular Fractures. Materials and methods: The medical records and radiographs for 585 patients treated for mandibular fracture…
Craniofacial trauma is frequent in young adults in Uruguay. One of the devastating consequences of this affection is the cranial deformations with its aesthetic and functional sequel. High resolution 3D…
Introduction: A functionally stable oteosynthesis enables early rehabilitation of the joints. However, there are a few studies about that. Aim: This prospective study evaluated the mandibular movements and remission of…
Introduction: Fractures of the frontal bone are infrequent, ranging from 2 to 15% of the patients with facial fractures. According to Fonseca (2000), these fractures can be classified as type…
Objective: To determine the incidence and severity of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury in mandible fractures before and after treatment. Methods: Consenting patients with mandibular fractures (excluding dentoalveolar, pathologic, previous…
It is difficult for a emergency medicine staff to follow-up facial lacerations. This is important to allow closure of the feedback loop for the trainee and also to allow the…
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate treatment outcomes following closed versus open repair of mandibular subcondylar fractures in terms of functional, radiographic, and esthetic parameters. Materials and…
Reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in a growing child after release of ankylosis is a challenging problem in maxillofacial surgery. One of the goals of ideal reconstruction is to…
Purpose: To determine the osteogenic capacity of combining BMP-2 and a novel growth factor in rabbit bone marrow stromal cells. Background: Current treatments of complex craniofacial osseous defects are limited…
Purpose: To determine the osteogenic capacity of a novel growth factor on rabbit bone marrow stromal cells. Background: Current reconstructive techniques for complex craniofacial osseous defects are associated with significant…
To apply human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) as a source of osteoblast-like cells (hESC-OS), factors influencing bone formation potential of hESC-OS need to be evaluated . Aims: The study aimed…
Introduction: This work studied the integration of acellular polyanionic collagen:elastin matrices derived of bovine pericardium (BP) with variable negative charge. Objective: The purpose of this work was to evaluate the…
Introduction: Fronto-orbital advancement is a procedure commonly performed in craniofacial centers for coronal and metopic suture synostosis. Several variations of the technique have been reported. We report our experience and…
Objective: To assess the correlation between alveolar cleft measurements carried out using conventional radiography and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Patients and methods: Eleven patients were included in this cross-sectional, descriptive…
Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of BMP on the resorption and degradation of a calcium phosphate ceramic. Materials and methods: Four bone substitute discs…
Introduction: The autologous bone transplantation is a widely used technique for bone reconstructions. Donor site morbidity and availability limit autologous bone transplantation. Bone tissue engineering combining osteogenic stem cells with…
Purpose: To histologically evaluate, by comparative means, the use of resorbable screws based on poli( l -co- d , l lactide) 70:30, used for fixation of autogenous bone grafts in…
Objective: The goal of cleft lip repair is to restore normal function and form while achieving the best cosmetic appearance. The Fisher technique utilizes the anatomical subunits of the lip…
Craniosynostosis are complex malformations which include a wide range of phenotypes. Craniosynostosis can occur as isolated (scaphocephaly, plagiocephaly, etc.) or associated with polymalformative syndromes (Apert, Crouzon, etc.). In international literature…
