Several options are currently available for volume augmentation of the lips. Problems with some of these techniques include persistent numbness, partial or complete graft resorption, development of epidermal cysts, and extrusion or migration of the implants. We report our experience with 17 lip augmentation procedures in which we used a latissimus dorsi strip graft as the material to increase lip volume. The technique is simple, safe, and results in long-lasting and well-balanced fullness of the lip vermilion, as evidenced at 1-year follow-up.

Extensive and closely coordinated remodeling processes take place in the periodontal ligament (PDL) and the adjacent bone during orthodontic tooth movement. In complex orthodontic cases, it is necessary to move teeth into an augmented bony defect, for example, in patients with cleft lip, alveolus, and palate. The important role of the PDL during tooth movement is well accepted but not fully understood.

Method: Thirteen children with a CP ± L ( = 7.50 years) who previously participated in a block-randomized, sham-controlled design comparing motor-phonetic therapy ( = 7) and linguistic-phonological therapy ( = 6) participated in this study.
