Orbital Bone Fracture Repair Evaluation Through 3-Dimensional Computational Reconstruction and Orbital Volumetric Assessment.

Background: Three-dimensional (3D) models generated from computed tomography (CT) images efficiently and accurately complement surgical comprehension. Additionally, computer modeling provides a substrate for comparative analysis of the treated orbit volume. This study aimed to investigate cases of orbital bone fractures with regard to orbital-defect correction, through 3D computational structural modeling and evaluation of orbital volume.

Alveolar Bone Graft Supplemented With Stromal Vascular Fraction in Patients With Permanent Dentition: A Randomized Study.

Objective: To evaluate bone development in patients with alveolar clefts and permanent dentition treated with alveolar bone graft supplemented with stromal vascular fraction (SVF).

Design: Clinical, prospective, randomized.

Location: Single tertiary care institution.

Management of Intracranial Condylar Fracture With Intracranial Migration.

Despite condylar fractures representing one of the most common sites of mandibular fractures, intracranial condylar dislocation is a rare event. In this article, the authors report 2 patients. The first patient is a young female with signs and symptoms as commonly reported in the literature.

Oral motor and electromyographic characterization of adults with facial fractures: a comparison between different fracture severities.

Objectives:: To characterize the oral motor system of adults with facial injuries and to compare the oral motor performance/function between two different groups.

Methods:: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in 38 patients presenting with facial trauma who were assigned to the Division of Orofacial Myology of a Brazilian School Hospital. Patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 (G1) consisted of 19 patients who were submitted to open reduction of at least one facial fracture, and Group 2 (G2) consisted of 19 individuals who were submitted to closed fracture reduction with maxillomandibular fixation.

Soccer-related Facial Trauma: Multicenter Experience in 2 Brazilian University Hospitals.

Background: Soccer is the most popular sport in Brazil and a high incidence of related trauma is reported. Maxillofacial trauma can be quite common, sometimes requiring prolonged hospitalization and invasive procedures. To characterize soccer-related facial fractures needing surgery in 2 major Brazilian Centers.

The role of micro-anchor devices in medial canthopexy.

Telecanthus, the lateral displacement of the medial canthus, can be a congenital deformity or can occur after facial trauma or tumor resection. Treatment of telecanthus remains a challenge for plastic surgeons. For proper correction, it is necessary to shift the medial canthus medially, fixing its tendon to the bone.

Seating position, seat belt wearing, and the consequences in facial fractures in car occupants.

Introduction: Trauma caused by traffic accidents is among the main etiologies involved in the occurrence of facial fractures throughout the world. However, the trauma mechanisms involved are different according to the location where the study was performed, due to different conditions of development, legislation, and culture. A retrospective study was done between February 2001 and July 2006, with the purpose of determining the epidemiology and the mechanisms involved in the occurrence of facial fractures among car occupants in the metropolitan area of São Paulo.
