Objective: Mouth breathing, being a cause for various orthodontic problems, has been a subject of concern to orthodontists since years. This study was aimed to analyze the influence, mouth breathing on the head posture and to compare variations in head posture between physiologic breathing and mouth breathing groups. Materials and methods: Lateral cephalograms of 25 physiologic breathing (PB) a...

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is an osseous growth dis-order, producing immature bone and characte-rized by the replacement of normal bone with fibro-osseous connective tissue. It is a bone dys-plasia that has the potential to cause significant cosmetic and functional disturbances, particularly in the craniofacial skeleton. Cra-niofacial fibrous dysplasia is one of the three types of polyostotic fibro...

Maxillofacial deformities that result from trauma, developmental abnormalities, destructive cancer surgeries, surgically operated mucormycosis can be difficult for a person to deal with as it affects the esthetics and functions further degrades their quality of life. Hence, maxillofacial prosthesis not only corrects deformity but also boost self-confidence so patient live his/ her life fullest....

Introduction: Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome (TRPS) is a sporadic autosomal dominant disorder with approximately 200 reported cases worldwide. We aimed to report 15-year-old girl TRPS type 1 (TRPS1) and the second case rare non-ossifying fibroma (NOF) in distal part of her left femur. Case Presentation: introduce who presented outpatient rheumatology clinic at 17 Shahrivar Children's Hospital, ...

craniofacial  anomalies  include  clefts,  synostoses,  atrophic  abnormalities,neoplasias etc. among which cleft lip and/or palate caused by abnormal facial development during gestation is one of the most prevalent congenital defects. its overall occurrence is about 1:700 ranging from 0.02 to 4.04 in 1000 live births. there are different etiologic factors considering the cleft cause. in most c...

PurposeTo assess the condylar hypoplasia and its correlation with craniofacial deformities in adults unilateral microsomia (CFM).MethodsPretreatment cone-beam computed tomography scans of consecutive (mean age: 20.4 ± 3.0 years; range: 17.3 to 31.4 years) Pruzansky-Kaban type I IIA CFM were reconstructed 3D. Both condyles segmented. Asymmetry ratios (affected side/contralateral side) volume cal...

Introduction: Fibrous dysplasia is a benign developmental disorder that affects the craniofacial bones among mandibular and characterized by enlargement as result of bone being replaced abnormal fibrous tissue growth. Two types, monostotic or polyostotic lesions, cause progressively expanding lamp, producing cosmetic deformities functional impairments. Frequently occurs in posterior region mand...

Introduction: Neonatal nasal airway obstruction induces various degrees of respiratory distress. The management of this disease, including surgical repair, will depend on the severity and location of the obstruction. We describe here a case of congenital nasal nostril stenosis that required surgical repair for stenting of both nares after coanal atresia repair.   Case Report: A 2 days old femal...
