Study of craniofacial morphology and skeletal maturation in juvenile diabetics (Type I).
The aims of this study were to examine the craniofacial morphology of patients with juvenile diabetes, to investigate the effects of juvenile diabetes on general growth and skeletal maturation, and to analyze the pattern of association between craniofacial morphology and skeletal maturation in these patients. The sample consisted of 20 male patients with juvenile diabetes whose ages ranged from 14 to 16 years and who were affected with the condition at least 5 years before the study. Twenty normal subjects, with the same age range, were chosen as a control group. Height, weight, lateral cephalometric and hand-wrist radiographs were taken for all subjects, corrected for magnification distortion, and analyzed. The diabetic patients showed decreased skeletal maturation and decreased cephalometric linear and angular measurements when compared with the control group. These results should be considered when diabetic patients require orthodontic or orthopedic treatment.

Mandibular lengthening using preprogrammed intraoral tooth-borne distraction devices.
PURPOSE: This report describes the application of an intraoral device for treatment of malocclusions characterized by mandibular deficiency and the surgical technique for its placement. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In an office setting, 5 retrognathic patients underwent mandibular lengthening via distraction osteogenesis with an intraoral tooth-borne distraction device. Under local anesthesia and sedation, mandibular corticotomies, mobilization, and placement of the distractors were performed. Preoperative, intradistraction, and postoperative dental casts, photographs, and cephalometric radiographs were used to analyze the results. RESULTS: In 3 of the 5 cases, distraction occurred along the planned vector. The remaining 2 cases showed opening rotations of the mandibular anterior segment along with the advancement. CONCLUSIONS: This study documents that the mandible and the dental arch can be lengthened successfully using this technique.
