Medical treatment of craniosynostosis: recombinant Noggin inhibits coronal suture closure in the rat craniosynostosis model.

30 Jul 2009 INTRODUCTION - The mechanisms underlying craniosynostosis remains unknown. However, mutations in FGFR2 are associated with craniosynostotic syndromes. We previously compared gene expression patterns of patent and synostosing coronal sutures in the ... Read more...

Morphological integration of the skull in craniofacial anomalies.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVES - To understand how surgical interventions impact the organization and internal integration of the major components of the skull, we address the functional and developmental relationships during perinatal development. METHODS - A number ... Read more...

Surgically assisted palatine expansion in adult patients: evaluation of a conservative technique.

30 May 2009 PURPOSE: This study was conducted to assess a conservative technique for surgically assisted palatine expansion (SAPE) done under local anesthesia and conscious sedation in adults. Dental inclination, uniformity of expansion, and satisfaction of ... Read more...
