This study aims to assess the morphological appearance, incidence of bridging, linear dimensions of sella turcica and establish cephalometric standards in Bosnian, Chinese and Nepalese subjects. This retrospective study examined digital standardized lateral cephalograms of 540 subjects, which consisted of 116 females and 64 males with an age range of 8 to 28 years. The sella morphology, bridging, and size were analyzed on the lateral cephalograms. Steiner's and Rickett's analyses were performed on...

Aim: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the impact of orthognathic surgery on quality of life (QoL) in elderly patients. Methods: Twenty patients who underwent orthognathic surgery to correct Angle Class I, II e, III relations were evaluated. Condition-specific QoL through a 22-item Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ) and generic oral health-related QoL through a 14-item short-form Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) were assessed. Results: A statistically...

Purpose: One of the most characteristic features in premature craniosynostosis is fronto-orbital retrusion. The standardized surgical technique of fronto-orbital advancement (FOA) can treat this (some) deformity, such as bilateral coronal synostosis. The purpose of the study is to investigate an available method to assess the postoperative outcome of the craniofacial surgery. Methods: From 2010 to 2015, 6 pediatric patients were taken the FOA in the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery...

Cranioplasty is a widely employed procedure for restoration of calvarial form and shape. The use of autogenous bone flap offers biological reconstruction with minimal donor site morbidity. One of the options to re-use bone autograft is low temperature preservation followed by autoclaving during cranioplasty. A retrospective evaluation of 12 patients with a mean age of 32.58 ± 10.04 years who underwent frozen autogenous autoclaved bone cranioplasty was done. Cranial bone flaps were removed during...

Bite wounds in the nose region may lead to serious esthetic problems and functional losses. The authors describe a dog bite to his nose, resulting in a defect involving the entire tip of the nose and a part of the surrounding subunits. He was repaired with forehead flap and auricular conchal cartilage acutely. To the authors’ knowledge, there are very few cases of acute repair in the literature. The authors also made a literature review on this subject. Address correspondence and reprint requests...

The research aimed at investigating potential correlations between craniofacial morphological measurements and mandibular pericondylar fractures, based on a retrospective study of 380 mandible fractures treated in our department, during 2010 to 2017. Predictors included morphological measurements and features. Primary outcome was presence of pericondylar fracture; 133 pericondylar fractures were found, including subcondylar, condylar neck, and condylar head fractures. Condylar neck fractures showed...

Introduction: Currently, vascularized autologous bone transplantation is considered the gold standard for large mandibular continuity defect reconstruction. Donor site morbidity is a major concern. Therefore, bone tissue engineering (BTE) seems to be the ideal solution. Fresh-frozen bone allograft is the closest material to autologous bone. The purpose of this clinical report is to show a new technique of large mandibular continuity defect reconstruction using a fresh-frozen humeral allograft...

The management of victims of gunshot fractures is a challenge for surgeons, mainly due to the complexity of the injury itself and degree of bone comminution. The titanium functionally dynamic bridging plate has often been used in reconstructive surgery after mandibular fractures. The classic indication for bridge plate use is comminuted fractures with or without associated substance losses. The aim of this article is report the case of gunshot victim and to discuss the bridge plate technique utilized...

Unilateral recurrent maxillary sinusitis is a common sinunasal pathology, mostly related to the ostiomeatal complex dysfunction. Although sinusitis can potentially spread to the adjacent structures, orbital cellulitis remains an exceptionally rare sequela. The authors report the unusual case of a patient who presented with recurrent maxillary sinusitis complicated by cyclic episodes of periorbital cellulitis related to ostiomeatal complex obstruction from herniated periorbital fat through an unnoticed...

Objectives: Elongated styloid processes (ESP) may show clinical symptoms that are readily confused with symptoms associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). The purpose of study was to compare the prevalance and characteristics of ESP in patients with TMD and asymptomatic individuals are examined by cone beam computed tomography. Methods: Angulations and length of the styloid process (SP) were evaluated in CBCT images of 100 patients with TMD symptoms and 100 control patients, retrospectively....

One of the indications of the surgical approach of the temporomandibular joint is the presence of foreign body in its interior. However, joint handling offers risks, especially bleeding. In these cases, angiography and embolization of the arteries involved with the projectile play an important role in the prevention of complications. In this report, the authors describe a case of a 23-year-old male victim of firearm attack with comminuted fracture of the right mandibular condyle. The patient underwent...

Objectives: After reading this article, the participant should be able to: Understand the etiology of cranial defects. Understand the anatomy of the cranium. Understand the importance of the preoperative workup in the cranial reconstruction decision-making process. Describe the options available for calvarial reconstruction including autologous and alloplastic materials. Describe the basic differences between available alloplastic materials. Understand the intraoperative and postoperative complications...

The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of two combinational surgeries for involutional entropion: Inferior retractor tightening (IRT) + lateral tarsal strip (LTS) + skin muscle excision (SME) vs LTS + SME. The authors reviewed the records of 2 groups which were made up of 80 (85 eyelids) and 58 (63 eyelids) involutional entropion patients with 71.4 and 71.8 years on average respectively. The 2 groups were categorized into Group A and Group B by different surgical techniques....

As cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans become increasingly common, it is vital to have reliable 3-dimensional (3D) landmarks for quantitative analysis of craniofacial skeletal morphology. While some studies have developed and used 3D landmarks, these landmark sets are generally small and derived primarily from previous 2-dimensional (2D) cephalometric landmarks. These derived landmarks lack information in parts of the skull such as the cranial base, which is an important feature for cranial...

Carrico, Daniel M. LaskinAbstractPurposeStudies have shown that an asymmetrical smile is a relatively common problem. Yet, many are unaware of having this condition. Since having an asymmetrical smile can affect the final esthetic result of orthodontic therapy or orthognathic surgery, such patients need to be...

DillonAbstractDog bites to the head, neck, and face (HNF) disproportionately affect children. It is unclear if specific facial regions are uniquely at risk in this population. Both the periorbital region and the “central target area” (CTA; nose, lips, cheeks) have been proposed as at increased risk. This study addressed the...
