The aim of this study was to determine the vertical and anteroposterior alterations in the soft, the dental and the skeletal tissues associated with the facial profile after Le Fort I maxillary impaction in conjunction with sagittal split osteotomy for mandibular advancement performed in patients with a high angle Class II skeletal deformity.The study population consists of 21 patients (11 fema...

INTRODUCTION: Hallux valgus (bunions) are prominent and often inflamed metatarsal heads and overlying bursae. They are associated with valgus deviation of the great toe which moves towards the second toe. Hallux valgus is found in at least 2% of children aged 9 to 10 years, and almost half of adults, with greater prevalence in women. METHODS AND OUTCOMES: We conducted a systematic review and ai...

IMPORTANCE The different nasal osteotomy patterns used to perform rhinoplasty are poorly described in the literature, and there is a continuous debate between surgeons on the ideal sequence and technique to obtain desired results. OBJECTIVES (1) To evaluate the necessity of a paramedian osteotomy when performing a high-low-high (HLH) osteotomy, (2) to study the fracture pattern of a high-low-...

Because navigational guidance can localize the operative site 3-dimensionally during maxillofacial surgery and provide precision, reliability, and safety for surgeons, we report Le Fort I osteotomy under navigational guidance for posterior repositioning of the maxilla.

This manuscript describes an interdisciplinary approach over a period of 8 years combining surgical and prosthodontic treatment of a young patient diagnosed with hypocalcified-type amelogenesis imperfecta and anterior open bite. The treatment procedures included transitional restorations, orthodontic treatment, and maxillofacial surgery with a one-piece Le Fort I osteotomy, bilateral mandibular...

Maxillary hypoplasia is a frequently observed secondary deformity in individuals born with cleft lip and palate. The impairment of maxillary growth coupled with extensive postoperative scarring as a result of multiple previous surgeries brings about maxillary deficiency in all planes viz vertical, horizontal and transverse. The resulting class III skeletal malocclusion together with maxillary h...

Background: Craniofacial anomalies present a challenge to all health care practitioners since they necessitate long-term team follow-up, which is difficult achieve outside of major center where craniofacial teams normally collaborate. Objectives: The current review with an illustrative case focuses on the representation and Crouzon syndrome its maxillofacial implications. Review different varie...
