Abstract Craniofacial deformities such as positional skull are widespread in infants. The early detection of these is crucial for the effective treatment and associated minimization or prevention visual pathological abnormalities. This paper presents a solution craniofacial using easy available materials both domestic clinical environments. For this purpose, suitable web technologies well webse...

Treacher Collin Syndrome is a rare dominant congenital hereditary disorder. The syndrome is characterized by craniofacial deformities affecting about more than 1 in 50,000 births. Rehabilitating these patients involves a multidisciplinary approach with the prosthodontists rehabilitating various deformities involving the clinical features. This case report describes the rehabilitation of a suspe...

BACKGROUND The objective of this epidemiological study is to map the dentofacial anomalies that can be correlated to the two most frequent spinal diseases responsible for postural abnormalities and that can be clinically identified by the orthodontic examination. METHODS Twenty-three children with Scheuermann's disease participated in the study (mean age: 14Y8M; SD: 1Y8M), 28 with Scoliosis (...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The possible relationship of orbit deformities in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) to plexiform neurofibromas (PNFs) have not been fully elucidated. Our purpose was to review orbital changes in patients with craniofacial NF1. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed CT and MR imaging abnormalities of the orbit in 31 patients (18 male, 13 female; mean age, 14 years; age range 1...

Congenital deformities of the upper extremity are rare. They are often associated with other, more severe disorders of the cardiovascular, craniofacial, neurologic, and musculoskeletal systems. Most upper-extremity congenital anomalies are minor and cause no functional deficits, and surgical reconstruction is therefore unnecessary. If a severe cosmetic deformity is present or there is significa...

Cranial vault deformities as a sequelae to trauma may be as high as 70%. The basic indications for cranioplasty are improvement of disfigured aesthetics and to provide protection to the intra-cranial contents. The possibility of producing custom-made implants opened a new era in the reconstructive surgery of the craniofacial deformities. The outcome of craniofacial bone reconstruction is though...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study is to analyze the success of extraoral osseointegrated implants used to support designed to rehabilitate craniofacial deformities. METHOD This study was based on the retrospective assessment of charts from 59 patients submitted to cancer surgery and who received 164 extraoral implants to contain facial prosthesis. RESULTS Among 164 implants, 42 were fixed in...
