Dental anomalies in craniofacial microsomia: A systematic review.

Orthod Craniofac Res

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, The Dutch Craniofacial Centre, Erasmus University Medical Center, Sophia's Children's Hospital Rotterdam, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Published: February 2020

Objective:  To provide an overview on the prevalence and types of dental anomalies in patients with craniofacial microsomia (CFM). Eligibility criteria: Inclusion criteria were CFM and dental anomalies. The following data were extracted: number of patients, methodology, mean age, sex, affected side, severity of mandibular hypoplasia, dentition stage and dental anomalies.

Information Sources: Cochrane, EMBASE, PubMed, MEDLINE Ovid, Web of Science, CINAHL EBSCOhost and Google Scholar, searched until the 30 August 2019. Risk of bias: The quality was examined with the OCEBM Levels of Evidence.

Included Studies: In total, 13 papers were included: four retrospective cohort studies, four prospective cohort studies, four case-control studies and one case series. Synthesis of results: The studies reported information on dental agenesis, delayed dental development, tooth size anomalies, tooth morphology and other dental anomalies. Description of the effect: Dental anomalies are more often diagnosed in patients with CFM than in healthy controls and occur more often on the affected than on the non-affected side. Strengths and limitations of evidence: This is the first systematic review study on dental anomalies in CFM. However, most articles were of low quality.

Interpretation: Dental anomalies are common in CFM, which might be linked to the development of CFM. The pathophysiology of CFM is not entirely clear, and further research is needed.

Computed tomographic features of clinically suspected rhinitis in domestic rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

Vet Rec

January 2025

Department of Small Animals Diagnostic Imaging, École Nationale Vétérinaire d'Alfort, Maisons-Alfort, France.

Background: The aim of this study was to characterise the computed tomographic (CT) findings in domestic rabbits with clinically suspected rhinitis and compare them with CT findings in rabbits without clinical signs of rhinitis.

Methods: CT images of rabbits that underwent a CT of the head were retrospectively reviewed and any CT abnormalities were described. Statistical analysis was performed to detect any association between the CT findings and clinical signs of rhinitis, and also to assess if there was any association between rhinitis and otitis media, otitis externa or dental disease.

Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a rare congenital disorder that affects facial symmetry, ear development, and other congenital anomalies. However, known causal genes account for only approximately 6% of patients, indicating the need to discover more pathogenic genes. Association tests demonstrated an association between common variants in SHROOM3 and HFM (P = 1.

Introduction Congenital malformations are a major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries and are assuming greater importance than ever before. They affect a variety of organ systems and various etiologies have been identified in literature including Toxoplasmosis, Other (syphilis, varicella-zoster, parvovirus B19), Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, Herpes Simplex (TORCH) infections, exposure to pollutants, consumption of tobacco and alcohol, and advanced maternal age. In developing countries, diagnosis is frequently delayed which leads to poorer outcomes.

Introduction: The prevalence of maxillofacial fractures is rising due to increased road traffic accidents, necessitating prompt and effective management, especially in cases of panfacial fractures. The primary objective in treating such fractures is to restore occlusion and stabilize midface buttresses and pillars.

Case Report: This article presents the case of a 56-year-old male who sustained panfacial fractures following a road accident, exhibiting symptoms including facial pain and nosebleeds.
