[Maxillo-mandibular fracture outcome. Therapeutic program].

The ill-consolidated outcomes of the maxillo and jaw fractures often show ill-positions of the mandible and/or of the jaw in the three space-levels. In order to program a suitable surgical correction of such pathologic pictures it is necessary to make a cephalometric test and a gnathologic one. The result of these tests will guide the therapeutical choise which will be either the re-opening of the surgical treatment to be effected through the usual osteotomy of the mandible.

[Diagnosis and therapeutic programming of mandibular symphysis dysmorphisms in patients with dento-osseous malformations].

Alterations in chin position in dentoskeletal dysmorphias are considering with a review of the literature on the prognosis of surgical treatment in dysmorphias of the chin symphysis. The treatment protocol then presented offers the possibility of programming the restoration of the correct physiological relationship between the bone bases and the correction of the aesthetic defects produced by dysmorphias of the chin symphysis on a single pre-operative graph. The problem in such programming lies in the extensive changes necessary to the bone and skin parameters during the functional operation that are difficult to foresee and quantify preoperatively.

[Maxillofacial trauma in pediatric age].

The different incidence of various kinds of maxillofacial fractures in children are examined and the causes of such differences are analyzed. The most significant are the variations in morphology of the maxillofacial skeleton during the children's growth and the physical-statistic problems strictly connected. Attention is drawn on the diagnostic difficulties of traumas due to fractures during childhood, sometimes unknown, especially with regard to the heavy functional and aesthetic exits which may occur.
