To discuss technical modifications specific to the cleft Le Fort I osteotomy that improve mobilization and demonstrate stability of maxilla at level in a cohort patients with palate (with or without lip) who underwent traditional maxillary advancement.This was retrospective evaluation (+/- orthognathic surgery for management skeletal malocclusions. All study subjects had +/- bilateral mandibular sagittal split osteotomies. The technique is modified extensively release fibrous tissue scar...
Background Patients undergoing orthognathic surgery may have limited information surrounding surgery. This leads to less satisfaction with surgical outcomes, anxiety and difficulty following perioperative instructions. Solution Providing a multi-disciplinary pre-operative educational experience for patients caregivers improves readiness satisfaction. What is new Our team provides “Jaw Surgery Workshop” which includes lectures from providers, previous patients, cookbooks supplies. allows...
To describe pre- and post-alveolar bone graft (ABG) practice protocols of orthodontists associated with American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association-approved cleft cleft/craniofacial teams.Electronic survey responses from team were evaluated regarding pre-ABG orthodontic treatment type(s), timing post-ABG imaging treatment, craniofacial fellowship training status the orthodontists. A P value <.05 was considered significant.Of 31 responding orthodontists, 54.8% had 45.2% did not. Pre-ABG...

Abstract Objectives To determine the utility of low-flip angle “black bone” magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for cortical mandibular bone assessment by comparing interdentium measurements and inter-observer morphometric variability in relation to computed tomography (CT). Methods Quantification mandible width was performed as per Hamada et al. at 15 cross-sectional locations on pre-treatment black MRI CT oropharyngeal cancer patients, with analyses a subset 3 patients 11 observers....
Imaging findings are central to the diagnosis and treatment planning decisions when managing craniofacial differences. However, limited information is published on protocols for systematic cleft imaging assessment effective communication of these findings.A template presented help guide radiologic reports acquire relevant clinical needed manage patients with alveolar cleft.

To report current diagnostic protocols, practices, and barriers related to imaging of alveolar clefting among American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association (ACPA)-approved cleft/craniofacial teams.An electronic survey was sent 162 ACPA-approved teams in the United States. Key items were team location, venue orthodontic treatment, modality(s) access, imaging, billing, protocols including members involved decisions pre- post-alveolar bone grafting (ABG), craniofacial fellowship status...
Introduction: As subcranial and transcranial advancements become possible at younger ages, it is important to better understand the growth profile of syndromic synostosis in first years life influence decision-making on surgical timing. The objective this study create a plot midface mandible untreated Crouzon patients determine if vertical horizontal linear or multiphasic. Methods: We performed retrospective review all who had CT scans our Center with diagnosis syndrome. Images after any...
Introduction: Rigid fixation of the Le Fort I osteotomy commonly utilizes plates at bilateral medial and lateral maxillary buttresses (four points fixation). The purpose this study was to assess whether placed only results in stable positioning. Methods: This a retrospective cohort patients undergoing elective orthognathic surgery tertiary care children’s hospital. Patients were included as subjects if they underwent conventional with (two-point fixation), or without concomitant mandibular...
