Introduction: The aim of this article is to present the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to unilateral posterior vertical insufficiency.
Material And Methods: The authors describe the management protocol.
Results: Posterior vertical insufficiency (PVI) manifests clinically as obliquity of the maxillo-mandibular occlusal plane and bicommissural line, and deviation of the chin.
Anatomic Changes of Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome at Different Stages.

Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Çukurova University, Adana, Turkey.
Aim: In this study, it was aimed to determine the changes in the anatomic structures of individuals with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) classified according to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI).
Materials And Methods: Individuals were divided into groups as group 1 (AHI=0, n=20), group 2 (AHI ˂5, n=20), group 3 (AHI=5-15, n=20), group 4 (AHI=16-30, n=20), group 5 (AHI ˃30, n=20). The individuals left lateral cervical vertebra radiographs were taken.
Evaluating Surgical Approaches for Hemimandibular Hyperplasia Associated with Osteochondroma: A Systematic Literature Review.
J Clin Med

Orthodontics Department, Universidad del Valle, Cali 760001, Colombia.
: Hemimandibular hyperplasia (HH) associated with osteochondroma presents complex challenges in maxillofacial surgery, including facial asymmetry, occlusal instability, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. Surgical interventions vary widely in approach and outcomes, underscoring the need for a systematic evaluation of effectiveness. This systematic review assesses the effectiveness of surgical approaches for managing HH associated with osteochondroma, focusing on techniques including condylectomy, orthognathic surgery, distraction osteogenesis, total joint replacement (TJR), and genioplasty.

Objective: In Class II elastics treatment, the mandible is subject to sustained protraction. The study aimed to investigate the morphological and histological changes resulting from sustained mandibular protraction, through establishment of a novel model in rat.
Materials And Methods: Forty-eight 4-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups, including the 50 and 100 cN protraction groups, and the control.
Article Synopsis
- The free fibular flap (FFF) is an effective method for reconstructing maxillofacial defects and serves as a viable alternative for patients with micrognathia when traditional surgeries can't be performed.
- A case study of a 28-year-old woman highlights the successful use of FFF for lengthening her mandible, after previous TMJ surgery caused difficulties in mouth opening and other functional challenges.
- Post-surgery, the patient showed significant improvements in aesthetics, occlusal function, and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, demonstrating the effectiveness of FFF in treating micrognathia.
