The effect of maxillary multidirectional movement on nasal respiration.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: Deformities of the maxilla may exist on all planes, and we treat these problems by mobilizing and repositioning the maxilla on all planes. Some authors have examined the effects of maxillary movement on the nasal airway. In clinical, ... Read more...

Speedy surgical orthodontic treatment with skeletal anchorage in adults--sagittal correction and open bite correction.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: The present report describes a new type of corticotomy-assisted orthodontic treatment called Speedy orthodontics, which allows faster movements of the dental segments using skeletal anchorage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To minimize the risk of ... Read more...

Alveolar cleft repair in adults using guided bone regeneration with mineralized allograft for dental implant site development: a report of 2 cases.

30 Jul 2009 Alveolar bone grafting is an integral part of the surgical management of oral clefts. The rationale behind alveolar cleft repair includes maxillary arch stabilization, closure of the oronasal fistula, nasal base support, nasolabial soft tissue ... Read more...
