Pediatrics, Craniofacial and Orthognathic Surgery Track: Head and Neck Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis in Children
Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) is a sporadic myeloid neoplasm with proliferation of dendritic cells1. In the United States, LCH has an estimated annual incidence of approximately 1 per million children2. Controversy exists regarding the management of LCH in the head and neck: debridement, chemotherapy or both. There are few reports describing LCH in the OMS literature. The purpose of this study was to present our experience with LCH of the head and neck in children. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Pediatrics, Craniofacial and Orthognathic Surgery Track: Stock vs. Custom Hardware For Virtually Planned Orthognathic Surgery: Analysis Involving Cost and Duration of Surgery
Computers have revolutionized the planning for orthognathic surgery to the extent that custom plates can be generated and are now available for use. The purpose of this project is to compare the expense of custom fabricated plates versus traditional stock plates for Lefort 1 osteotomy. The hypothesis is that custom plates are more expensive, but the surgical time difference justifies the expense. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Pediatrics, Craniofacial and Orthognathic Surgery Track: How Accurate is Computer-Assisted Surgery in Fronto-Orbital Advancement for Craniosynostosis?
Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) has been shown to improve the accuracy of cranial vault reconstruction in craniosynostosis treatment. Few studies to date have evaluated the accuracy of CAS in the context of fronto-orbital advancement (FOA) surgery. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to present our experience using CAS for FOA. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Pediatrics, Craniofacial and Orthognathic Surgery Track: Impacts of Dentofacial Disharmony and its Surgical Correction on Speech
Among dentofacial disharmony (DFD) patients, 90% of Class III, 73-87% of Class II, and 80% of anterior open bite (AOB) patients suffer from speech distortions, as compared to 3.5-5% of the general population. Speech disorders negatively affect patients ’ self-esteem, quality of life, peer and teacher perceptions, and long-term career performance. As a result, it is important to understand the impacts of severe malocclusion on speech, and whether surgical correction yields improvements. Limited quantitative data exist to correlate malocclusion se verity with speech distortion and track surgical outcomes in articulation. (...

Pediatrics, Craniofacial and Orthognathic Surgery Track: VP MR Atlases: A New Clinical Tool for Assessing VP Functioning
Cleft lip and palate are among the most prevalent birth defects in the United States affecting approximately one out of every 700 births. Despite surgical advancements, up to approximately 40% of children with a repaired cleft palate continue to present with hypernasal speech as a result of insufficient velopharyngeal (VP) closure. Dynamic MRI can be a tool that is used to assess VP function and aid in the surgical decision-making process. However, dynamic velopharyngeal MRI is often associated with slow data interpretation times, limiting its overall clinical use. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Pediatrics, Craniofacial and Orthognathic Surgery Track: Imatinib for the Management of Benign Lesions of the Mandible in Pediatric Patients
Imatinib mesylate is approved to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia in adults and children that is Philadelphia chromosome positive. We have used imatinib successfully in patients with symptomatic Central Giant Cell Granulomas of Cherubism, and now present 3 pediatric patients who were treated successfully with imatinib, one with non-syndromic central giant cell granuloma of the mandible, and two with non-bacterial osteomyelitis of the mandible.

Pediatrics, Craniofacial and Orthognathic Surgery Track: Do Scheduled Non-Opioid Analgesics Reduce the Amount of Inpatient Opioid Intake in Orthognathic Surgeries?
The total number of opioids prescribed by oral surgeons have increased over time.[1] While much of the maxillofacial research on this topic has focused on outpatient prescription of opioids after dentoalveolar procedures,[2] there is need for evaluation of prescription patterns in inpatient settings following trauma, orthognathic, and other major procedures.

Pediatrics, Craniofacial and Orthognathic Surgery Track: Maximal Mouth Opening and Overjet in Infants: A Single-Group Prospective Cohort Study
Detection of mandibular position and range of motion abnormalities is critical in the early detection of craniofacial anomalies. Due to the absence of cephalometric data, pathologic conditions such as micrognathia are inherently difficult to diagnose, and craniofacial diagnoses often rely on clinical evaluations of overjet and maximal mouth opening. In the absence of normative data, the purpose of this study was to determine the normal ranges for maximal mouth opening (MMO) and overjet (OJ) in healthy infants.

Pediatrics, Craniofacial and Orthognathic Surgery Track: Juvenile Active Ossifying Fibroma of the Frontal Sinus: A Case Report of Single-Stage Resection and Reconstruction Using Virtual Surgical Planning and Patient-Specific Implants
This report describes a case of an 11-year-old female who was referred to the craniofacial clinic at University Hospital in San Antonio TX with complaints of frontal headaches and a mass on her forehead. Prior to presenting to University Hospital, she underwent 2 unsuccessful endoscopic sinus surgeries with ENT for recurrent sinusitis and forehead swelling of 1-2 years duration. She was diagnosed via endoscopic biopsy with Juvenile Active Ossifying Fibroma, psammomatoid variant (JPOF), a rare, benign, yet aggressive fibro-osseous lesion of the craniofacial skeleton.

Craniomaxillofacial Trauma Surgery Track: Innominate Artery Injury During Tracheostomy: A Case Report and Literature Review
Percutaneous tracheostomy is a common procedure that can be done at bedside by intensivists. The widespread adoption of bronchoscopy and ultrasound have also been utilized in the ICU, leading to the decline of conventional surgical tracheotomy1. Percutaneous tracheotomy is thought to have several advantages over conventional tracheotomy. These include a smaller skin incision, less dissection and tissue trauma, and fewer wound complications. Long-term complications have also been reported less frequently. (Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Craniomaxillofacial Trauma Surgery Track: External Fixation for Tissue Preservation in Complex Mandible Trauma and its Sequelae: Reminder of a Method
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons specialize in jaw reconstruction and are frequently responsible for the management of complex mandible injuries caused by low- and high-velocity penetrating, blunt impact, and blast trauma. External fixation of comminuted, contaminated, compounded, and infected fractures can preserve tissue, maintain anatomic integrity, and provide an effective stage in reconstruction.
