Facial deformity in Crouzon syndrome is characterized by exophthalmos, exorbitism, mild hypertelorism, and maxillary hypoplasia with a Class III occlusion. The Göteborg craniofacial unit corrects this deformity in selected patients by the 2-stage procedure of "spectaclesplasty" followed by a Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy at skeletal maturity. "Spectacles" is a reference to the bilateral circumf...

Surgical correction of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome involves understanding a number of parameters, of which the 3-dimensional airway anatomy is important. Visualization of the upper airway based on cone beam computed tomography scans and automated computer analysis is an aid in understanding normal and abnormal airway conditions and their response to surgery. The goal of surgical trea...

Objective: The maxillomandibular complex's counterclockwise movement with maxillary advancement and posterior downward repositioning was considered as one of the most unstable movements in orthognathic surgery. This study examines reliability fixation different plate-screw systems grafted nongrafted models rotation where maxilla is positioned anteriorly movement. Material Methods: Stress distri...

BACKGROUND The current limited evidence may be suggestive that mandibular advancement appliance (MAAs) result in improvements in AHI scores, but it is not possible to conclude that MAAs are effective to treat paediatric OSA.There are significant weaknesses in the existing evidence due primarily to absence of control groups, small sample sizes, lack of randomization and short-term results. AIM...
