Male patient affected by unilateral cleft lip and palate in Binder's syndrome. (a). Facial profile picture taken before treatment at the age of 7 years (T pre ). (b). Cephalometric X-ray taken before treatment (T pre ). (c). Facial profile picture taken after distraction (T d ). Note the correction of the midface hypoplasia and overall improvement in facial appearance. (d). Cephalometric X-ray taken after distraction (T d ). (e). Facial profile picture taken 8 years post DO (T lt ) at the age of 15 years. (f). Cephalometric Xrays taken 8 years post (T lt ). (g). Cephalometric superimposition T pre ? T d. The continuous line shows the T pre tracing, the dotted line shows the cephalometric T d tracing. Cephalometric landmarks: S, sellion Z midpoint of the fossa hypophysealis (point of intersection between the maximum horizontal diameter and the maximum vertical diameter of the sella turcica); A, subspinal Z deepest anterior point in the concavity of the anterior maxilla nasion Z anterior point at the fronto-nasal suture B, supramental point Z deepest anterior point in the concavity of the anterior mandible; Oclp posterior occlusal point Z distal cusp of the upper first permanent molar or the second deciduous molar; I, incision point Z incisal edge of the upper central incisor; Go, gonion Z midpoint of the angle of the mandible; Gn, gnathion Z most anterior inferior point of the contour of the synphisis; SeNeA: Sagittal position of the maxilla relative to the anterior cranial base plane SeN; SeNeB: Sagittal position of the mandible related to SeN; and SeN^GoeGn: mandibular plane angle. (h). Cephalometric superimposition T d ? T lt. The continuous line shows the T d tracing, the dotted line shows the cephalometric T lt tracing.

... points considered were as follows: the A point, the posterior occlusal (Oclp) point and the incisal edge of the upper central incisor (I). The angles included were SNA and SNB angles, which describe the sagittal position of the maxilla and the mandible relative to the anterior cranial base, the angle between the mandibular plane and the SN line and the angle between the occlusal plane and the SN line (Figures 1 and 2). ...

Craniofacial Distraction procedures have been widely used tor correction of severe Antero-posterior,
Transverse and Vertical deformities of facial skeleton. Clinically it has proven to be very useful in many
craniofacial anomalies with soft tissue hypoplasia in addition to osseous defects.
Complexity of scaffold geometries and biological mechanisms involved in the bone generation process make the design of scaffolds a quite challenging task. The most common approaches utilized in bone tissue engineering require costly protocols and time-consuming experiments. In this study we present an algorithm that, combining parametric finite ele...
Magnesium alloys are promising biomaterials for orthopedic implants because of their degradability, osteogenic effects, and biocompatibility. Magnesium has been proven to promote distraction osteogenesis. However, its mechanism of promoting distraction osteogenesis is not thoroughly studied. In this work, a high-purity magnesium pin developed and a...
Distraction osteogenesis has revolutionised the management of craniofacial abnormalities. The technique however requires precise planning, patient selection, execution and follow-up to achieve consistent and positive results and to avoid unfavourable results. The unfavourable results with craniofacial distraction stem from many factors ranging from...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical result of vertical alveolar distraction, especially the distracted alveolar bone and installed implants.
