As a continuation of our prospective cohort study for a total of 18 patients with 72 implants in severely atrophic maxillae corresponding to Cawood and Howell class V and VI (1988) [1] with four 4.0 × 5.0 mm ultrashort locking taper implants Ewers et al., 2018 [2], we now present a prospective cohort study with a total of 9 patients. The special feature of this newly modified study is the reduction of the number of implants to only three 4.0 × 5.0 mm or 4.5 × 6.0 mm or 5.0 × 6.0 mm calcium phosphate-coated Bicon Integra CP implants. Reducing the number of implants is possible by inserting the middle implant into the incisal foramen and the nasopalatine canal. All patients were restored with metal-free prostheses made of a glass fiber-reinforced hybrid resin material. Neither were any implants lost during the observation period, nor did any patient experience any sensory alteration due to the placement of an implant into the nasopalatine canal. Three implants were sufficient in all patients to stabilize their 12-unit prosthesis.

Background: Children with cleft lip ± palate (CL/P) may undergo nasoalveolar molding (NAM) before surgery to achieve arch alignment and tension-free closure, yet the endpoint of arch dimensions has not been defined.
Objective: To characterize the size and shape of infant palates using anatomic landmarks on magnetic resonance imaging in infants without CL/P.
Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging of infants without cleft palate younger than 3 months were reviewed and 13 measurements were taken to define palatal shape: distance between incisive foramen (IF) and incisors (IN), IF and middle of canines (MOC), between MOCs, between first molars (FM), 2 depth and 4 angle measurements.
Morphometric Analysis of the Greater Palatine Foramina in the Bosnia and Herzegovina Population.
Acta Med Acad
December 2024
Department of Anatomy, Medical Faculty, University in Sarajevo, Čekaluša 90, 71 000 Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
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).
A cone-beam computed tomography study of deformational plagiocephaly and its influence on condylar position and menton deviation in subjects with Class I skeletal pattern.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the occurrence of deformational plagiocephaly in patients with a Class I skeletal pattern, focusing on how cranial vault asymmetry relates to other skeletal alignment measures.
- Researchers evaluated 135 pretreatment records using advanced imaging software and assessed various anatomical measurements to determine any correlations between cranial asymmetry and mandibular features.
- Findings indicated no significant correlation between cranial vault asymmetry and most mandibular measurements, although some interaction was noted regarding the anterior-posterior positions of the condyles.
Morphological characteristics of the palate according to mid-palatal suture maturational stage on cone-beam computed tomography images: A cross-sectional study.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the morphology of the palate affects the effectiveness of inserting miniscrews and palatal expansion by analyzing dimensions of the mid-palate in relation to the maturation stage of the mid-palatal suture.
- Researchers used high-resolution cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images from 100 subjects to measure the mid-palate length, height, and surface area across different maturation stages.
- Results showed no significant differences in mid-palate length between stages, but height and surface area varied significantly, with smaller measurements in later maturation stages, indicating a negative correlation between the height and surface area of the mid-palate and its maturation stage.
