Objective: The aim of this research was to determine the transverse stability of the segmental Le Fort I osteotomy technique. Patients and methods: 21 patients who underwent surgery between September…
For the treatment planning and subsequent follow-up in orthognathic surgery is very important to use standardized tools. Today we use images from a Cone Bean scanner which cannot resort to…
Objective: The aim of this research is to study the behavior of mandibular asymmetries in skeletal Class III (CIII) patients. Patients and methods: Out of 280 skeletal CIII patients treated…
Pseudoaneurysms in the maxillofacial territory are very rare. They are produced by an incomplete section of an artery’s internal wall. Unlike aneurysms, these are only covered by the external layers…
Class III malocclusion patients usually present serious psychosocial problems in early adolescence due to aesthetic factors. Clinician’s critical and scientific knowledge can prove most valuable whenever patient seek medical advice…
The asymmetric growth of the face may be triggered by skeletal congenital, genetic or traumatic as a result of injuries and fractures that impair mandibular growth. The correction of mandibular…
Facial asymmetry due to growth disturbances of the jaws almost always requires orthognathic surgical correction. The cause of facial asymmetry in most cases is trauma to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)…
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of patients with dentofacial deformity who needed surgical treatment, through translation and validation of the Orthognathic Quality of…
The aim of this study was evaluate the mechanical effect over teeth and bone structures of surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) in photoelastic skull analogs by comparing stress produced…
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 neglectable…
Angioneurotic edema is an acute swelling involving the submucosal or subcutaneous tissues, being most often located in the oral and maxillofacial region, which can result in upper airway obstruction. Its…
The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical effect over teeth and bone structures of surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) in photoelastic skull analogs by comparing stress…
The preconditions in patients to be treated by orthognatic surgery are mostly focussed on malformation of the dental alveolar ridge as well as the deformity of the jaws. In some…
Purpose: This study was to evaluate the change of condylar position after BSSRO with posterior bending osteotomy (PBO) to minimize the interferences between proximal and distal segment in facial asymmetry….
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a autosomal dominant disease, characterized by recurrent episodes of angioedema and caused by deficiency or functional alteration of the plasma protein C1 inhibitor (C1-INH), an enzyme…
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) form a unique group of proteins within the transforming Growth Factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily. These proteins are directly related to the regulation of bone induction, maintenance…
Purpose: To describe a new tool to improve cast surgery and splint confection, how to use it and demonstrate it’s clinical application. Materials and methods: In this trial the SEVA…
The amount of postoperative bone resorption after genioplasty was studied in 16 patients. The subjects of this study were 5 patients who underwent genioplasty alone, and 11 who underwent genioplasty…
Maxillary transversal deficiency is characterized by unilateral or bilateral posterior cross-bite, crammed and rotated teeth, and narrow palate. Classically, surgically assisted maxillary expansion is the indicated treatment for adult patients,…
Introduction: Simultaneous two-jaw surgery is a common procedure performed for the correction of dentofacial deformity patients in Korea, and its effect and stability has somewhat become accepted currently. TOVRO (Transoral…
