Article Synopsis
- Actinomycosis is a rare infection caused by certain types of gram-positive bacteria, primarily affecting soft and bone tissues, and occurs in about 3% of cases in children.
- A case involving a 4-year-old girl showed an extensive ulcerative lesion in the maxilla, which developed after a prior diagnosis of scarlet fever and led to damage in surrounding tissues.
- Successful treatment involved surgical removal of affected bone and teeth, followed by local treatment, highlighting the need for pediatric dentists to recognize actinomycosis and its implications for diagnosis and care.
The maxillary advancement obtained by the Le Fort I osteotomy can also generate significant changes in the soft tissue of the nose and lips. The aim of this study was to compare the alterations in the soft tissue of the nose following the Le Fort I osteotomy maxillary advancement technique in a population of young adults submitted to orthognathic surgery. Seven men and 8 women aged between 23 and 45 underwent orthognathic surgery using the Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral mandibular sagittal osteotomy.
