Isolated Congenital Camptodactyly and Temporomandibular Joint Articular Disc Displacement.

The development of craniofacial structures is complex and involves multiple cellular and molecular interactions. We report a case of congenital camptodactyly in a female who subsequently developed chronic tinnitus and temporomandibular joint dysfunction. This report describes the clinicoradiographic features and surgical management of the facial skeletal manifestations, along with postoperative rehabilitation.

Comparison of digital surface displacements of maxillary dentures based on noninvasive anatomic landmarks.

Statement Of Problem: Artificial markers called fiducials are commonly used to orient digitized surfaces for analysis. However, when these markers are tangible and placed in the region of interest, they may alter surface topography and influence data analysis.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to apply a modified digital surface fitting method based on anatomic landmarks to evaluate denture accuracy and to use 2 different denture processing techniques to evaluate the method.
