Few reports have so far evaluated the maxillary stability after LeFort I osteotomy (L-1) for pitch correction. In the current study, the authors assessed the SN-PP (palatal plane) to evaluate the skeletal stability after osteotomy with clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation and investigated the effects of anterior nasal spine (ANS) and posterior nasal spine (PNS) movement on the stability of the SN-PP.The SN-PP and the positions of ANS, PNS, and point A were measured on lateral cephalograms before surgery (T1), immediately after surgery (T2), and more than 1 year after surgery (T3).All measured angle and points were stable in 4 cases of counter-clockwise rotation. In the 16 cases of clockwise rotation, T3-T2 of SN-PP, ANS, and point A was -2.05°, -2.56 mm, and -1.64 mm, when the SN-PP increased more than 4° after osteotomy. When the ANS moved downward more than 3 mm, the ANS and point A relapsed significantly by 2.75 and 2.31 mm, while the SN-PP relapsed 1.61° more than 1 year after surgery.When the SN-PP increased by more than 4° or the ANS moved downward by more than 3 mm, the authors suggest shifting the PNS upward instead of moving the ANS downward.

A crooked nose is a challenge for a surgeon performing rhinoplasty. When performed correctly, rhinoseptoplasty aligns the nasal framework, restores nasal patency, and achieves facial symmetry. The key to this procedure is to dissect all the structures of the nasal framework, mobilize, reposition, and stabilize them.

Objective: The endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA), has become the preferred alternative to traditional open and transoral approaches to the ventral craniovertebral junction (CVJ) region. However, preoperative prediction of the limitations of caudal reach remains challenging. This cadaveric study aimed to quantify the CVJ area of exposure and access afforded by the EEA, evaluate the accuracy of previously described radiographic anthropometric lines, and identify the lowest limit of the EEA corridor.

Objective: Repositioning and fixation of the posterior septal angle (PSA) relative to the anterior nasal spine (ANS) is a well-known maneuver performed during rhinoplasty. Suture techniques through the periosteum along with transosseous drilling through the spine are the two most common fixation methods. We report on how nasal airway patency varies as a function of technique and patient demographic factors.

Objectives: To compare the variations in the upper airway of children with skeletal Class II mandibular retrognathism treated with van Beek Headgear-Activator (vBHGA) and Twin-Block (TB) appliances.
Materials And Methods: 40 children were involved in this retrospective study and divided into two intervention groups: the vBHGA group and the TB group, each comprising 20 individuals with an average age of 11.13 years.
Morphometric Analysis of the Greater Palatine Foramina in the Bosnia and Herzegovina Population.

Objective: The goal of this research was to examine the morphological characteristics and exact anatomical positioning of the greater palatine foramen (GPF), with reference to nearby anatomical landmarks.
Material And Method: The research was performed on dry human skulls belonging to the Bosnian and Herzegovina population, using digital vernier calipers. The study began by noting the GPF's position relative to the maxillary molars, then measuring its distance from the median palatine suture (MPS), the incisive fossa (IF), the posterior border of the hard palate (PBHP), and the posterior nasal spine (PNS).
