[Nose and lungs--two of a kind]

6 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Diseases in the upper and lower airways often occur concomitantly, and evidence indicates a close relationship between them. Optimal treatment of airway disease requires knowledge about this relationship; the article presents an updated ... Read more...

Asymmetry of the lips of orthognathic surgery patients.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to examine asymmetry of the lips in patients with jaw deformity and facial asymmetry. METHODS: Pretreatment and posttreatment frontal facial photographs of 17 patients who had mandibular prognathism with ... Read more...

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...
