Three-dimensional quantification of mandibular asymmetries in Caucasian adult patients with different sagittal and vertical skeletal patterns. A cone beam study using 3D segmentation and mirroring procedures
An accurate identification of mandibular asymmetries is required by modern orthodontics and orthognathic surgery to improve diagnosis and treatment planning of such deformities. Although craniofacial deformiti... (Source: Head and Face Medicine)

Development of a Corneal and Eye Protection Strategy in Domestic Swine
This study presents an effective method to provide corneal and eye protection in the domestic swine for at least 50 d. Furthermore, protection of the eye and face is achieved through the innovative use of a modified ophthalmologic face shield. The findings from this study will advance large animal research in these fields, enabling innovation in surgery and tissue engineering in areas of both craniofacial and ophthalmologic research.PMID:38087405 (Source: Comparative Medicine)

Failure of Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis in Klippel- Feil Syndrome- 4: A Case Report of a Rare Syndromic Robin Sequence
We report a novel case of a 1- month-old girl with known KFS4 and Robin Sequence (RS). At 2 months old, she underwent bilateral mandibular distraction osteogenesis to correct significant airway obstruction. Despite adequate mandibular advancement, the patient failed extubation twice and eventually required a tracheostomy. Due to the multiple anomalies present in KFS4, mandibular distraction osteogenesis may have a decreased likelihood of surgical success.PMID:38092684 | DOI:10.1177/10556656231220852 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Evaluation of Long-Term Outcomes of Transverse Facial Cleft Repair
CONCLUSIONS: No significant long-term commissural migration was observed after transverse facial cleft repair with simple linear commissuroplasty and linear skin closure. Deliberate positioning of the new oral commissure, proper myoplasty, and meticulous skin closure with minimal scar burden can be considered key procedures for successful transverse cleft repair.PMID:38092680 | DOI:10.1177/10556656231207205 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Parents' Perception of the Benefit of Receiving a Patient Information Leaflet Prior to Attending a Craniofacial Multidisciplinary Team Appointment
CONCLUSIONS: A leaflet may be helpful for parents when preparing for their child's MDT appointment. However, some parents may need additional support and information related to their child's treatment pathway.PMID:38092729 | DOI:10.1177/10556656231219579 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Do Race and Socioeconomic Status Affect Date of Initial Presentation and Repair of Patients with Cleft lip  ± Palate and Head Shape Conditions?
CONCLUSIONS: Race and SES may play an important role in the delay of first presentation to plastic surgery clinic and subsequent repair for these patient populations. Further educational efforts must be provided to ensure equitable care. This single institutional study may serve to encourage other academic centers to analyze the timing of care for our pediatric patients.PMID:38073056 | DOI:10.1177/10556656231219417 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Use of supermicrosurgery in craniofacial and head and neck soft tissue reconstruction: a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis
Supermicrosurgery is an evolving approach in the reconstruction of head and neck (HN) and craniofacial (CF) defects. This systematic review aims to evaluate the use of supermicrosurgery for arterial or combined arterial and venous anastomoses in the reconstruction of HN and CF soft tissue defects, and the associated success, total complication, and reoperation rates. A literature search was conducted on PubMed, Dynamed, DARE, EMBASE, Cochrane, and British Medical Journal (BMJ) electronic databases (PROSPERO ID: CRD42023476825).
