Mandibular traction--an alternative treatment in infants with Pierre Robin sequence.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: In the Pierre Robin sequence, retrognathia and glossoptosis lead to airway obstruction in infants with or without cleft palate. Mandibular distraction has gained acceptance for the treatment of airway obstruction. However, surgical ... Read more...

Three-dimensional imaging and computer simulation for office-based surgery.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: Advancements in computers and imaging, especially over the last 10 years, have permitted the adoption of 3-dimensional imaging protocols in the health care field. In addition, the affordability and ease of use of these modalities allow ... Read more...

Effects of Herbst appliance treatment on temporomandibular joint disc position and morphology: a prospective magnetic resonance imaging study.

30 Aug 2009 INTRODUCTION: The objective of this prospective study was to evaluate changes in the position and morphology of the disc in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS: The subjects were 32 consecutive adolescent ... Read more...
