2/8. Mandibular distraction osteogenesis with multidirectional extraoral distraction device in hemifacial microsomia patients: three-dimensional treatment planning, prediction tracings, and case outcomes.Distraction osteogenesis of the craniofacial skeleton with the use of several different types of distraction devices (i.e., extraoral, intraoral, unidirectional, multidirectional, and customized) have been documented. However, the details of treatment planning and the method of predicting the distraction of the mandible in patients with hemifacial microsomia have not been published previously. This paper presents a technique for (1) three-dimensional treatment planning for mandibular distraction, (2) three-dimensional prediction tracings with conventional radiographs (panoramic, lateral, and posterior-anterior cephalometric), and (3) correlating the treatment planning and clinical applications. Lastly, 2 patients with hemifacial microsomia planned and treated with this approach are reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3.1396984203583keywords = hemifacial microsomia, microsomia, hemifacial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/8. Fibrous ankylosis after distraction osteogenesis of a costochondral neomandible in a patient with grade III hemifacial microsomia.Distraction osteogenesis has recently become a mainstay for treatment of craniofacial syndromes with mandibular hypoplasia. This article presents the difficult case of a patient with a previous costochondral rib graft who underwent mandibular distraction and developed a fibrous pseudoarthrosis at the distraction site. This was attributed in part to an associated temporomandibular joint ankylosis. Resorption of the pseudoarthrosis occurred once the distractor was removed. It appears that distraction osteogenesis of a mandible with an ankylosed temporomandibular joint can result in healing with a fibrous union, presumably because of movement at the distraction site when masticating. This can result in a pseudo "temporomandibular joint" at the distraction site. A temporomandibular joint arthroplasty was performed, followed by repeat distraction. We conclude that if there is an ankylosed temporomandibular joint or a stiff temporomandibular joint that may ankylose during the course of the distraction process, then a temporomandibular joint arthroplasty should be performed before or at the time the distractor is placed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.0931322802388keywords = hemifacial microsomia, microsomia, hemifacial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/8. Clinical experiences with patients with facial bone deformities associated with hemifacial microsomia.Eighteen adult patients with hemifacial microsomia were treated with a combination of skeletal and augmentation surgery. Three typical cases are presented. In principle, skeletal and augmentation surgery have recently been performed in combination in a single stage. groin flaps and scapular or scapular ostocutaneous flaps have mainly been employed for augmentation surgery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.6164153502985keywords = hemifacial microsomia, microsomia, hemifacial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/8. Hemifacial microsomia and hypodontia: a case report.A 6-year-old girl with hemifacial microsomia was examined. Abnormalities found were: severely malformed pinna of the right ear, right malar hypoplasia and unilateral mandibular hypoplasia. Dental examination revealed normal intraoral soft tissues with all deciduous teeth present. Radiographic examination disclosed that the maxillary and mandibular right and left second premolars were not developing. The mandibular ramus was short in length and the mandibular condyle had not developed on the right. The patient had no renal, cardiac or skeletal anomalies and her hearing was normal. No previous publications have been located which report the association of hypodontia and hemifacial microsomia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.5232830700597keywords = hemifacial microsomia, microsomia, hemifacial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/8. An unusual case of hemifacial atrophy.A case of hemifacial atrophy in a 10-year-old boy is described. The presentation in this patient is unusual because the lesion is extremely localized, and the abnormalities of teeth in the affected region are more severe than previously recorded. Alternative diagnoses are considered, and the results of a computed tomographic scan with three-dimensional reformatting are presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.014936707338328keywords = hemifacial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/8. Transmigration of a maxillary canine. A case report.In the oral cavity, transmigration is defined as a tooth that crosses the mid-line by more than half its length. Following extensive literature review, it was found that, although well documented with respect to mandibular canines, there were only two publications detailing maxillary cuspid transmigration. This report presents a case of transmigration where the left maxillary canine gradually crossed the mid-line and migrated to the right side in a patient with hemifacial microsomia and cleft palate. The Mupparapu classification of the migratory pattern of the mandibular canines is discussed. Various clinical considerations, as well as guidelines for general practitioners to diagnose and manage such a condition, are also discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.52328307005971keywords = hemifacial microsomia, microsomia, hemifacial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/8. A de-epithelialized free groin flap for facial contour restoration.The transfer of de-epithelialized free groin flaps to restore facial contour after tumour resection and in hemifacial microsomia is described. The flap can be transferred in one stage and remodelled at a later minor operation. This provides an acceptable alternative to the other more difficult and often less successful methods of restoring soft tissue deficiencies of the face.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.52328307005971keywords = hemifacial microsomia, microsomia, hemifacial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
