Maxillary and mandibular displacement in hemifacial microsomia: a longitudinal Roentgen stereometric study of 21 patients with the aid of metallic implants.

Objective: To record maxillary and mandibular displacement with articular growth and in response to bimaxillary surgical repositioning in patients with hemifacial microsomia (HFM) and to observe ipsilateral corpus/ramus growth in severely affected children.

Design: Prospective roentgen stereometric analysis (mean age 7 years 10 months to 18 years 0 months) and retrospective profile and panoramic roentgenograms. Mean total observation period was 9 years 1 month.

Displacement of the mandible in a child with congenital unilateral temporomandibular joint ankylosis treated with two-stage condylar replacement: a long-term study with the aid of roentgen stereometric analysis.

Objective: To monitor mandibular displacement in three dimensions with a high degree of accuracy before, during, and after treatment.

Design: Prospective roentgen stereometric analysis from age 3 years 7 months to age 13 years 8 months.

Setting: Center for Craniofacial Anomalies and Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Malmö University Hospital, Malmö, Sweden.

Facial growth in a cleft palate patient treated with the Herbst appliance: a long-term profile roentgenographic and roentgen stereometric analysis of profile changes and displacement of the jaws.

Objective: To monitor facial development in a patient with cleft palate who was treated with the Herbst appliance. Monitoring was in terms of changes in the skeletal profile and growth in the circummaxillary sutures and temporomandibular joints (TMJs).

Design: Prospective profile roentgenography (between the ages of 6 and 20 years) and roentgen stereometric analysis (between the ages of 8 and 19 years).

Mandibulofacial dysostosis--variability in facial morphology and growth: a long-term profile roentgenographic and roentgen stereometric analysis of three patients.

Objective: To monitor and compare facial morphology and growth in three individuals with variable expression of mandibulofacial dysostosis (MFD) in terms of changes in the skeletal profile and in terms of growth in the circummaxillary sutures and temporomandibular joints (TMJs).

Design: Retrospective conventional profile roentgenography (mean age 9 to 18 years) and prospective roentgen stereometric analysis (RSA) (mean age 7 to 17 years).

Setting: Center for Craniofacial Anomalies and Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Malmö University Hospital, Sweden.

Bone grafts to the nose in Binder's syndrome (maxillonasal dysplasia): a follow-up of eleven patients with the use of profile roentgenograms.

Bone grafts are used to lengthen the dorsum and elevate the tip of the nose in patients with Binder's syndrome. Disappointing long-term results in some patients generally have been assumed to be a result of resorption and/or displacement of the grafts. Treatment outcome was studied in 11 patients with the use of serial profile roentgenograms.
