A simple mechanism for measuring and adjusting distraction forces during maxillary advancement.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: Direct measurement of distraction forces on the craniofacial skeleton has never been reported. The present report describes the development of a method of assessing and adjusting traction forces applied through maxillary distraction ... Read more...

Postoperative nasal forms after presurgical nasoalveolar molding followed by medial-upward advancement of nasolabial components with vestibular expansion for children with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: The management for primary unilateral cleft lip nose deformities has not yet been established. In this study, short-term postoperative nasal forms after presurgical nasoalveolar molding (NAM) followed by primary lip repair for children with ... Read more...

Effect on maxillary arch development of early 2-stage palatoplasty by modified furlow technique and conventional 1-stage palatoplasty in children with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the palatal morphology of patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate after early 2-stage palatoplasty (ETS) consisting of soft palate closure by a modified Furlow palatoplasty at 12 ... Read more...
