A Novel Classification of Relationship Between Nasal Septum and Inferior Turbinate Associated With Nasal Airway Obstruction in Patients With Unilateral Alveolar Cleft.

Objective: This study aims to investigate nasal morphologies associated with nasal airway obstruction in unilateral alveolar cleft patients.

Methods: A total of 234 unilateral alveolar cleft cases were performed cone beam computed tomography scans. The digital imaging and communication in medicine data were imported into Simplant Pro software.

Comparative Outcomes of Block and Cancellous Iliac Bone Grafting in Older Unilateral Alveolar Cleft Patients.

Objective: To compare osseous outcomes of block and cancellous iliac bone grafting in older unilateral alveolar cleft patients.

Design: Retrospective and observational follow-up study.

Setting: Cleft Lip and Palate Centre, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Stomatology, Nanjing Medical University, China.

Anatomical Study and Clinical Application of Facial Artery Perforator Flaps in Intraoral Reconstruction: Focusing on Venous System.

Purpose: Facial artery perforator flaps (FAPFs) are preferred for the repair of intraoral and peri-nasal defects because it is a convenient procedure with minimal donor-site morbidity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anatomic features of FAPFs and present their clinical application in intraoral reconstruction.

Materials And Methods: Five cadaver specimens (10 sides) of the head and neck region and 90 clinical cases (90 sides) of neck dissection were analyzed to explore the facial venous drainage system of FAPFs.

Computer-aided design-based preoperative planning of screw osteosynthesis for type B condylar head fractures: A preliminary study.

Objective: To investigate the clinical application of a new computer-aided design - (CAD) based planning method for the treatment of type B condylar head fractures without fragmentation.

Methods: A total of 13 adult patients (19 sides) with type B condylar head fractures were included in the study. In all cases, imaging was performed using cone bean computed tomography (CBCT) preoperative, and Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) files were imported into Simplant 11.

[Clinical effect of functional repair of bilateral cleft lip in 66 patients].

Purpose: To explore the clinical effect of functional repair for bilateral cleft lip using modified Mulliken method.

Methods: Sixty-six patients with bilateral cleft lip were selected and assigned to receive modified Mulliken method. During the operation, the prolabium was kept as narrow "tie" shape, the orbicularis oris was anatomically repositioned, and the orbicularis oris ring was re-built.

A new design of facial artery perforator flaps for the reconstruction of small- to medium-sized intraoral defects.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability and outcomes of a new design of facial artery perforator flaps, extending from the angle of the mouth to the border of the mandible, for the reconstruction of small- to medium-sized intraoral defects.

Patients And Methods: The technique had been used in 23 patients between February 2009 and August 2012. The locations of intraoral defects included the tongue, the floor of the mouth, the inferior gingival mucosa, and the sublingual gland.
