Study and planning of the surgical procedure for the orbital district in patients affected by craniofacial malformations.

Orbital surgery is of critical importance within the framework of craniofacial surgery. The conical conformation of orbits requires analysis and surgical procedure planning methods involving all three dimensions. We present our protocol for the analysis and our three-dimensional surgical procedure plan to treat orbital malformations using teleradiography and two- and three-dimensional computed tomographic imaging. A number of clinical cases treated according to this approach are also presented.

Subnasal modified Le Fort I for nasolabial aesthetics improvement.

We report our experience with a modified Le Fort I osteotomy developed to avoid nasal tip upturning, alar base widening, and upper lip flattening in anterosuperior repositioning of the maxilla. We compare the aesthetic results obtained with this variation of the surgical technique to those obtained using the more traditional Le Fort I osteotomy combined with the alar cinch suture and the anterior nasal spine reduction procedures on a sample of 20 patients.

[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.

Dental agenesis in hemifacial microsomia.

Hemifacial microsomia (HM) is an asymmetrical congenital deformity of the head and face caused by anomalous development of the structures derived from the first and second branchial arches. This study evaluates the incidence of agenesis and dental inclusions in HM patients. Sixty-three HM patients, 27 male and 36 female, ranging from 7 to 43 years had monolateral (61) and bilateral (2) presentation. From clinical examination, photographs, and various radiographs, the following manifestations were noted: 11 patients had tooth agenesis with at least one on affected side and 5 patients had dental inclusions. The greater the severity of HM, the greater likelihood of agenesis. Third molars were most commonly missing. Dental inclusions did not show a relationship to severity.
