Surgery on the dentoalveolar process combined with orthodontic treatment was emphasized as an alternative method for reducing the treatment time and improving the orthodontic treatment on post-adolescent and adult patients. This combined treatment facilitates and accelerates orthodontic tooth movement. This article reviews the clinical practice in surgery-assisted orthodontic treatment in relat...

OBJECTIVES To compare facial appearance and dento-alveolar relationship outcomes from the CSAG (1998) and CCUK (2013) studies. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION Five-year-olds born with non-syndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate. Those in the original CSAG were treated in a dispersed model of care with low-volume operators. Those in CCUK were treated in a more centralized, high-volume operator...

This clinical note introduces a method to assist surgeons in performing single-tooth dento-osseous osteotomy. For use in this method, a surgical guide was manufactured using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing technology and was based on preoperative surgical simulation data. This method was highly conducive to successful single-tooth dento-osseous segmental osteotomy.

This case report aimed to characterize dento-osseous anomalies in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) in a Brazilian patient. Furthermore, FAP was investigate for possible causative. This case report showed the importance of dento-osseous knowledge related to FAP. Early dento-osseous anomalies diagnosis revealed the need to followup FAP family members from childhood and was essential for subse...

Longitudinal dento-skeletal changes in unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patients following maxillary distraction osteogenesis using the rigid external distraction device (RED) were analyzed. Twelve Japanese non-syndromic UCLP patients who underwent maxillary distraction at the mean age of 16.4 years were used as subjects. Serial sets of lateral cephalograms, taken at 4 stages: 1) before o...

A COMPARISON OF TWO METHODS TO ARTICULATE A MAXILLARY CAST WITH LATERAL CEPHALOMETRY Laura H. Lux D.D.S Marquette University, 2014 The Kois Dento-Facial Analyzer, an arbitrary articulation system, is used by clinicians to articulate and evaluate clinical cases. There is, however, limited information for understanding how the Kois Dento-Facial Analyzer should be utilized. Dr. Kois and Dr. Lee or...

INTRODUCTION Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer is a colorectal cancer syndrome characterized by the development of colorectal cancer and extracolonic tumors, and this syndrome has an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. To our knowledge, our study was the first to find dento-osseous anomalies and the second to observe Fordyce granules in a family with individuals with hereditary nonp...

INTRODUCTION A case of melorheostosis in association with tricho-dento-osseous (TDO) syndrome has been encountered. CASE PRESENTATION The clinical and the radiographic manifestations of melorheostosis have been encountered in a 41-year-old man. Mutations in the 13 exons and flanking intronic regions of the LEMD3-gene have not been detected. His phenotypic features were consistent but not comp...

OBJECTIVES Outline methods used to describe centre-level variation in treatment and outcome in children in the Cleft Care UK (CCUK) study. Report centre-level variation in dento-facial outcomes. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION Two hundred and sixty-eight five-year-old British children with non-syndromic unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 2011 and Dec...

Wnt/β-catenin signaling plays a critical role in bone formation and regeneration. Dentin and cementum share many similarities with bone in their biochemical compositions and biomechanical properties. Whether Wnt/β-catenin signaling is involved in the dento-alveolar complex formation is unknown. To understand the roles of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in the dento-alveolar complex formation, we genera...
