Surgical correction of lambdoid synostosis - New technique and first results.

Objective: Premature craniosynostosis of the lambdoid suture is rare. The use of differential diagnosis to rule out positional occipital plagiocephaly is crucial. Nevertheless, once diagnosed, lambdoid craniosynostosis requires corrective surgery to prevent intracranial harm and aesthetic stigma by significant dyscrania.

Moving the mandible in orthognathic surgery - A multicenter analysis.

Orthognathic surgery has always been a classical focus of maxillofacial surgery. Since more than 100 years, various surgical techniques for mandibular repositioning have been developed and clinically tested. Since the establishment of plate and screw osteosynthesis, orthognathic surgery became more stable and safe.

Lethal cervical abscess following bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Context: Bisphosphonates are common drugs used in the management of bone metabolic diseases. Because of their recently increased use, their adverse effects, especially bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), are monitored more frequently. BRONJ is a critical challenge in craniofacial surgery and is difficult to treat.

Horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation using autologous press fit bone cylinders and micro-lag-screw fixation: technical note and initial experience.

Introduction: The use of autologous block bone grafts for horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation in dental implantology is a common surgical procedure. Typically, bone grafts are individually moulded.

Objective: The aim of this paper is to introduce an innovative procedure in lateral bone augmentation, where the recipient side is adjusted to the graft, not vice versa as in common procedures.

[Treatment of non-synostotic head deformity in infants with dynamic orthosis].

In all craniofacial deformities the differential diagnosis between synostotic and non-synostotic conditions must be made. While the first group is usually subject to intracranial surgical intervention, the treatment of non-synostotic deformities is the subject of controversial discussion. Often associated with premature birth, restrictive intrauterine environment or torticollis, these conditions, also defined as positional deformations, can lead to severe plagiocephalic head shapes.
