No region of our anatomy more powerfully conveys our emotions nor elicits more profound reactions when disease or genetic disorders disfigure it than the face. Recent progress has been made towards defining the tissue interactions and molecular mechanisms that control craniofacial morphogenesis. Some insights have come from genetic manipulations and others from tissue recombinations and biochem...

The paper describes the first Malaysian Craniofacial soft tissue 3D imaging system which was developed based on the integration of stereophotogrammetry and triangulation-based laser scanning system. The main purposes of developing the imaging system are to provide a non-contact method for craniofacial anthropometric measurement and fast and radiation free 3D modelling of craniofacial soft tissu...

Relevance . Craniofacial microsomia is a collective definition combining congenital pathologies of organs developing from the first and second branchial arches. However, affiliation various to this disease remains controversial. For reason, there are no standardized indications for timing methods treatment. Materials This paper analyzes results examinations conducted 2011 2021in 89 children ado...

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign bone disorder that most commonly affects craniofacial bones; one or multiple adjacent bones can be involved which can severely deform the skull base. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage in combination with extensive craniofacial fibrous dysplasia is an extremely rare condition that leads to complicated skull base deformation and possible neurovascular structure impingement...

This paper is a summary of findings of adult age-related craniofacial morphological changes. Our aims are two-fold: (1) through a review of the literature we address the factors influencing craniofacial aging, and (2) the general ways in which a head and face age in adulthood. We present findings on environmental and innate influences on face aging, facial soft tissue age changes, and bony chan...

Deformities in the craniofacial region are of great social and functional importance. Several surgical techniques have been used to treat such pathologies often with high morbidity and lacking the ability to address smaller contour defects. The minimally invasive technique of fat transplantation has evolved rapidly within the last few decades. The objective of this paper is to present the versa...

SUMMARY Craniofacial clefts involve all soft tissue and skeletal elements throughout the cleft. Usefulness of tissue expansion in craniofacial clefts is reported. Surgery for a complex type of facial clefts is more difficult and more extensive than for a simple one. We experienced a primary case of complex facial clefts (Tessier No. 2 and 12 on the right and 3, 11, and 5 on the left). Soft-tiss...

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...

Background: Cleft palate (CP) with or without cleft lip (CL/P) are the most common  craniofacial birth defects.  Cleft lip and palate (CLP) can affect children’s communication skills.  The present study aimed to evaluate the language production skills in regards to morphology and syntax (morphosyntactic) of children with CLP . Method: In current cross-sectional study, 58 Persian-language child...
