Background Thalassemia is a group of congenital disorders which is characterized by a deficient synthesis of alfa or beta globulin chains in hemoglobin molecules. Due to the problems resulting from changes in face, especially in dento-maxillary regions, such patients require special attention regarding oral health. Thus in this study, we aimed to assess the dento-maxillofacial changes in Beta-t...

Maxillofacial abnormalities are the most deleterious to a person's self-esteem and quality of life. Restoration speech, deglutition, masticatory functions as well achieving normal orofacial appearance main objectives rehabilitation maxillofacial defects. Any prosthesis can be held in place by anatomical, mechanical, chemical, or surgical anchorage, depending on clinical scenario. Various method...

PURPOSE Maxillofacial injuries are frequently associated with multiple trauma and can determine functional and aesthetic bad outcomes. The severity of maxillofacial injuries may be considerable and can divert clinicians' attention from other concomitant injuries which is less evident but potentially life-threatening. The aim of this study was to find out the concomitant injuries in patients ref...

Inborn or acquired abnormalities of the palate and contiguous structures need special prosthesis for proper intra oral rehabilitation. The Glossary Prosthodontic Terms defines obturator as “a maxillofacial used to close a congenital tissue opening, primarily hard and/or alveolar/soft structures”This article presents simplified technique fabrication dentures in anatomically compromised arches, w...

i ntroduction: the incidence and etiology of maxillofacial fractures vary widely between different countries. understanding the cause and pattern of these injuries can assist in establishing clinical and research priorities for more effective treatment and prevention of maxillofacial injuries. the study aimed to  evaluate  the  etiology  and  pattern  of  maxillofacial  fractures  in  trauma pa...

the infratemporal fossa is an anatomic space of great importance in the head.abscesses of this space re rare but potentially life threatening. regarding the proximity of some important anatomical features of the head, dealing with infratemporal space infection needs great consideration both in examination and surgical practice.in  this  case  report,  infratempora  space  abscess  formation  fo...

In this paper we present a software whiteboard for multimedia conferences. The whiteboard is specialised to load and share high-resolution colour images while using colour management functions to provide an accurate colour representation. The whiteboard is used in the telemedicine project INTER-FACE, which builds a virtual environment for tele-consultations between specialists in pre-operative ...
