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...

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...

Characteristics and corrective outcome of face asymmetry by orthognathic surgery.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: This study was conducted to identify the characteristics of facial asymmetry before surgery and to evaluate the facial skeletal changes and stability after 2-jaw orthognathic surgery. The ideal "double-cross grid" as fitting the key ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Osteotomy, Le Fort'

Definition: Transverse sectioning and repositioning of the maxilla. There are three types: Le Fort I osteotomy for maxillary advancement or the treatment of maxillary fractures; Le Fort II osteotomy for the treatment of maxillary fractures; Le Fort III osteotomy for the treatment of maxillary fractures with fracture of one or more facial bones. Le Fort III is often used also to correct craniofacial dysostosis and related facial abnormalities. (From Dorland, 28th ed, p1203 & p662)
