Interpositional osteotomy for posterior mandible ridge augmentation.

30 Oct 2009 This report reviewed the published data concerning different methods for vertical augmentation of the posterior mandible for implant placement. The main purpose was to compare and contrast the different treatment methods, with a more detailed review ... Read more...

Craniofacial characteristics of patients with heart disease.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: Children with congenital heart disease commonly experience delayed growth. Studies comparing growth and development of these children generally found that they have decreased height and weight, but with no information on craniofacial ... Read more...

Does hyoid bone resection according to Sistrunk influence normal craniofacial growth? A cephalometric study.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: To retrospectively evaluate the influence of hyoid bone resection according to Sistrunk in early age due to a thyroglossal duct cyst on craniofacial growth. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively examined 10 patients (2 females and 8 ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Vertical Dimension'

Definition: The length of the face determined by the distance of separation of jaws. Occlusal vertical dimension (OVD or VDO) or contact vertical dimension is the lower face height with the teeth in centric occlusion. Rest vertical dimension (VDR) is the lower face height measured from a chin point to a point just below the nose, with the mandible in rest position. (From Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p250)
