Background and Objectives : It has been suggested previously that increased width of midfacial structure is associated with the development of palatal clefting. One of the most important heritable characteristics predisposing towards the development of orofacial clefting in an embryo is craniofacial morphology. The aim of the study was to compare nasomaxillary width of parents of children with unilateral complete cleft lip alveolus and palate with parents of noncleft children. Methods : 25 biologic parent sets of children with unilateral complete cleft lip alveolus and palate and 25 biologic parents of noncleft children were included in this study for PA cephalometric analysis. Results : There was no statistically significant difference between study and control groups. An association was found between the side of the cleft in the affected children and the parents in the same side with narrower nasomaxillary width. Interpretation and conclusion : The result of this study was in contrast with other previous studies. We observed a narrower nasomaxillary width, which suggested that this feature may be of morphogenetic importance in the etiopathogenesis of orofacial clefting in this geographic and ethnic group.

Effect of rapid maxillary expansion on nasomaxillary structure and sleep disordered breathing in children with obstructive sleep apnoea.
Aust Dent J
December 2024
Department of Clinical Sciences and Translational Medicine, University Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of RME on upper airway structure and its relationship to improvements in sleep disordered breathing.
Methods: The study was carried out in 23 children with malocclusion and OSA. Clinical assessment visits, daytime sleepiness questionnaire, polysomnography and orthognatodontic examination were performed before (T0) and 4 (T1) and 12 (T2) months after RME.
Effect of bone-borne maxillary skeletal expanders on cranial and circummaxillary sutures: A cone-beam computed tomography study.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of two types of bone-borne maxillary expansion devices (C-expander and ATOZ expander) on cranial and circummaxillary sutures in patients with calcified midpalatal sutures, utilizing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for analysis.
- A total of 81 patients participated, and significant changes in suture widths were observed after maxillary expansion, with notable increases in various sutures for both devices while some suture widths specifically changed differently between the groups.
- The findings indicate that while both expanders affect the sutures in the naso-maxillo-zygomatic area, the C-expander reduces specific circum-zygomatic suture widths, and

Full Professor Titular, Division of Oral Maxillofacial Sugery, Postgraduate Program in Dentistry, Federal University of Ceará, Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) with pterygopalatine disjunction (PD) on the nasomaxillary complex structures.
Material And Methods: A systematic two-phase review, recorded in the PROSPERO database, was conducted. Search strategies were performed using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, COCHRANE, LILACS and DOSS databases, including gray literature (Open Grey, Google Scholar, and ProQuest).
Long-Term Three-Dimensional Morphometric Outcome Study of Nasal Bone in Cleft Patients.
J Craniofac Surg
September 2024
Miyamoto Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Hospital, Hiroshima, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Cleft lip nose deformities involve both bony and soft tissue aspects, yet this study is the first to examine nasal bone characteristics specifically.
- The research compared nasal bone features in adults with various types of cleft lip and palate against control patients using CT scans, focusing on measurements like piriform width and nasomaxillary angle.
- Findings indicate that those with bilateral cleft lip and palate have a significantly wider and lower nose compared to controls, suggesting they may require different treatment approaches targeting bony nasal structure rather than just soft tissue.
Changes in Craniofacial Morphology Induced by Unilateral Nasal Obstruction in Mice of Different Ages.

Department of Orthodontics, Stomatological Hospital, School of Stomatology, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Nasal obstruction in humans leads to mouth breathing and subsequent hypoxia in the entire body. Furthermore, nasal obstruction in growing children affects craniofacial growth and development.
Objective: To investigate the effects of unilateral nasal obstruction (UNO) on craniofacial growth in mice of different ages, particularly on the morphology of the nasomaxillary complex and mandible.
