Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the IRF6 gene with nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate in Kinh Vietnamese patients.

Background: The interferon regulatory factor 6 (IRF6) gene, which causes Van der Woude syndrome, is associated with nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IRF6 gene were identified as susceptibility indicators of this defect in several populations. To further evaluate its role in this birth defect, we conducted this study with the aim of identifying allele frequencies, genotype frequencies, and associations of 5 SNPs (rs2235373, rs2235371, rs2235375, rs2013162, and rs2236907) in the IRF6 gene with NSCL/P in Kinh Vietnamese patients.

Association of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms of Gene with Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip with or without Cleft Palate in Kinh Vietnamese Patients.

 Cleft lip with or without palate (CL/P) is the most common orofacial birth defect. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in gene (V-Maf avian musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog B) were identified as susceptible to this defect in a genome-wide association study. To further evaluate its role in this birth defect, we conducted this study with the aim of identifying allele frequencies, genotype frequencies, and association of SNPs rs13041247, rs6065259, and rs6072081 of gene with nonsyndromic cleft lip/palate (NCL/P) in Kinh Vietnamese patients.

Evaluation of Bite Force After Treatment of Le Fort Fractures by Internal Fixation and Mandibulomaxillary Fixation.

Objectives: Evaluation of bite force one, two, and four weeks after discharge following treatment of Le Fort I and/or Le Fort II fracture by rigid fixation and mandibulomaxillary fixation.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate bite force following treatment of Le Fort I and/or Le Fort II fractures by rigid fixation and mandibulomaxillary fixation at one, two, and four weeks after discharge. This provides valuable results to guide the development of a treatment protocol for Le Fort fractures.

A Novel Approach to the Treatment of Le Fort Fractures Using Internal Fixation to Achieve Mandibulomaxillary Fixation.

Background: We aimed to determine the minimum effective period of mandibulomaxillary fixation after the inadequate internal fixation of Le Fort I or Le Fort II fracture.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the stability of the skeleton after the treatment of Le Fort I or Le Fort II fractures by measuring bite forces and to determine the minimum time required for effective mandibulomaxillary fixation following treatment with internal fixation and mandibulomaxillary fixation.

Method: A prospective study was performed to examine the treatment of Le Fort I or Le Fort II fracture in the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery at the National Hospital of Odonto-Stomatology in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

The effect of a nano-filled resin coating on the 3-year clinical performance of a conventional high-viscosity glass-ionomer cement.

Objectives: The main aim of the study was to compare the clinical performance of the conventional high-powder/liquid ratio glass-ionomer cement (GIC) Fuji IX GP Extra (F IX), Fuji IX GP Extra with a low-viscosity nano-filled resin coating, G-Coat Plus (F IX+GCP), and a resin composite, Solare (S), as a comparison material.

Materials And Methods: Moderate-depth occlusal cavities in the first permanent molars of 91 11-12-year-old children (1-4 restorations per child) were restored with either F IX (87 restorations), F IX+GCP (84 restorations) or S (83 restorations). Direct clinical assessment, photographic assessment and assessment of stone casts of the restorations were carried out at 6 months, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years.
