The aim of this publication is to offer teams specializing in the primary and secondary treatment of labio-alveolar-palatal clefts a prosthetic evaluation for more rational management of the dental sequellae of clefts for patients who, when they reach adulthood, often wish to improve their facial esthetics, in which the dental element plays a significant part. The reorganization and restoration of the upper anterior teeth, and their esthetic integration with respect to the face and lips, would then be less of a problem for plastic surgeons or orthodontists. In this respect, the installation in this sector of implants, following ambitious bone surgery involving the sacrifice, in bilateral forms, of the teeth of the medial process is a protocol that could usefully be taken into account.

Mandibular advancement devices (MAD) are recommended in certain cases for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). The aim of this study was to make a retrospective investigation into the dental and skeletal effects in patients suffering from OSAHS after wearing an MAD, and according to the type of device, rigid or semi-rigid. Cephalometric criteria on lateral cephalograms before and after at least 6 months of treatment were analyzed.

Recent improvements in therapy of children with cancer have resulted in an increase in cure rates which lead to long-term survivorship. Assessment of short- and long-term complications and late effects of cancer therapies is accomplished by pediatric oncologists and multi-disciplinary team, including continuation of care from pediatric to adult primary care. The late complications of cancer treatment include growth and development, reproduction, vital organ function (cardiac, pulmonary, renal, gastrointestinal), dental, ocular, esthetic sequellae, and second neoplasms (benign or malignant), which are cited as the second most frequent cause of death in the Children Cancer Survivors Study cohort.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFTechniques for dental transplantation today are taking better advantage of the potential for healing of the periodontal ligament than in the past and have reduced the risk of ankylosis and root resorption to below 1.5%. The resulting improvement in prognosis has made it possible to more confidently plan procedures that include orthodontic treatment.
