Pyknodysostosis is an autosomal-recessive disorder of osteoclast dysfunction causing osteosclerosis, with associated maxillofacial anomalies. Multidetector CT with multiplanar and 3D reconstruction illustrated the pathologic findings in this case. Abnormalities included multiple retained deciduous teeth, unerupted teeth with associated follicles, an irregularly expanded alveolus and body of the...

There is much to be said for entrusting the long-term management of children with congenital nasal defects to a few large centres, where the necessary radiological, maxillofacial, neurosurgical and other skills are readily available. Few otolaryngologists will gain significant experience, during their working lifetime, in the care of such children and, moreover, many of these patients have addi...

Maxillofacial deformities that result from trauma, developmental abnormalities, destructive cancer surgeries, surgically operated mucormycosis can be difficult for a person to deal with as it affects the esthetics and functions further degrades their quality of life. Hence, maxillofacial prosthesis not only corrects deformity but also boost self-confidence so patient live his/ her life fullest....

This study aims to critically review the literature in respect to craniofacial bone abnormalities and malocclusion in sickle cell anemia individuals. The Bireme and Pubmed electronic databases were searched using the following keywords: malocclusion, maxillofacial abnormalities, and Angle Class I, Class II and lass III malocclusions combined with sickle cell anemia. The search was limited to pu...

Body abnormalities that compromise form, function or aesthetics can make an individual incapable of leading a relatively normal life. Facial disfigurement may occur as result congenital anomaly, trauma tumor surgery. The defects be rehabilitated surgically with the help prosthesis. Many situations due to size location defect because patient’s medical condition, surgical reconstruction is not po...

The purpose of this study was to investigate crown morphologic abnormalities in the permanent dentition of subjects with clefts and unaffected controls. This is a prospective study of 100 patients and 60 control subjects. The study was carried out at the Cleft Lip and Palate Center at the King Abdullah University Hospital and at the Maxillofacial Unit at Jordan University of Science and Technol...

Abstract
 Background: Cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) when imaged for maxillary jaw generally depicts sinus. This region is frequently neglected by dentist and maxillofacial radiologist. Signs symptoms in odontogenic diseases of the sinus may overlap each other. A dental surgeon primarily encounters these lesions routine radiographs..
 Aim: The present study was undetaken to eval...

BACKGROUND Although cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of the maxillofacial region allow the inspection of the entire volume of the maxillary sinus (MS), identifying anatomic variations and abnormalities in the image volume, this is frequently neglected by oral radiologists when interpreting images of areas at a distance from the dentoalveolar region, such as the full anatomical aspect...

introduction: this study was conducted to determine the pattern of maxillofacial fractures in three age groups of adults, adolescents, and children, using ct scan images. methods: in this cross-sectional study, ct scan images of 230 patients with maxillofacial trauma during one year were examined in terms of the number and site of fractures. the patients were divided into three age groups, chil...
