This article provides an overview of the orthodontic preparation prior to secondary alveolar
bone grafting of alveolar defects in those with complete cleft lip and palate. Use of cone …

Craniosynostosis is a medical condition caused by the early fusion of the cranial joint. The
finite element method (FEM) is a computational technique that can answer a variety of “what …

Objectives The purpose of this “two-arm parallel” trial was to compare the orthopedic, dental,
and alveolar bone plate changes of slow (SME) and rapid (RME) maxillary expansions in …

Introduction The purpose of this study was to evaluate the skeletal and dental changes in the
maxillae of patients with clefts treated with 3 expanders: hyrax, fan-type, and inverted mini …

Background Patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate were associated with different
nasomaxillary complex from the normal population. Although the biomechanical effects of …

This study evaluated the stress distribution in the dentoalveolar and palatal bone structures
during maxillary expansion in a 17-year-old male patient with bilateral cleft lip and palate …

Nasal obstruction frequently has been associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Although correction of an obstructed nasal airway is considered an important component in …

Introduction Although rapid maxillary expansion has been extensively studied in noncleft
patients, scarce evidence of maxillary effects is found for patients with oral clefts. Our …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare the dentoalveolar effects of slow (SME)
and rapid (RME) maxillary expansions in patients with complete bilateral cleft lip and palate …

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to explore the biomechanical effects on the
craniomaxillary complex of bone anchorage and dental anchorage during maxillary …
