[Computerized method for calculating cervical vertebral maturation].

For Helm, "the rhythm of facial growth often governs the course of orthodontic treatment". The moment of treatment is an important dimension for our therapy to last a minimum of time with a greatest chance of success and stability. This notion of processing time is a daily requirement in our practices.

[Influence of mandibular somesthesia on cephalic deviation and spatial representations].

Mandibular proprioception would influence postural control. The development of spatial references are governed by the same afferences. This work aims to clarify the role of mandibular proprioception, implicated in postural and spatial dysfunctions, in the control of cephalic posture and spatial repositories.

Implant-borne rehabilitation for alveolar dental cleft: Retrospective analysis of thirty-nine cases.

Introduction: Dental rehabilitation of patients with alveolar-dental cleft sequelae is a crucial issue in the final stages of functional and aesthetic management of these patients. The objectives of this study are to establish the success of implant-supported rehabilitations for patients with alveolar dental cleft sequelae followed in the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery and Stomatology of Lille University Hospital and the reasons for not using this type of rehabilitation for others.

Materials And Method: Patients treated between January 2009 and December 2018 with implant-supported prostheses at an alveolar dental cleft site were included.

Doses effects of zoledronic acid on mineral apatite and collagen quality of newly-formed bone in the rat's calvaria defect.

Due to their inhibitory effects on resorption, bisphosphonates are widely used in the treatment of diseases associated to an extensive bone loss. Yet, little is known about bisphosphonates effects on newly-formed bone quality. In the present study, adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=80) with a bone defect calvaria area were used and short-term effects of zoledronic acid (ZA) were studied on the healing bone area.

[Craniomandibular relations and anti-gravity posture: stabilometric study disclusion wedges].

Cephalometric parameters are thought to influence static posture. The present work evaluates the relationships between skeletal class or facial divergency, on one hand, and body posture, on the other hand. ANB and FMA angles were measured from profile cephalograms in twenty healthy adults.

Neurosensory disturbances of the inferior alveolar nerve: a retrospective study of complaints in a 10-year period.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of neurosensory disturbances (NSDs) of the inferior alveolar nerve after dental procedures.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study of patient complaints for transient and permanent NSDs was achieved by means of a 10-year follow-up of claims to a national practitioner insurance company. Claims for 3 different dental procedures were analyzed from 157,292 contracts of insurance recorded during this period.

Preliminary results and evidence of early regeneration in inferior alveolar nerve fibers.

Inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) damage can occur in trauma, cyst enucleation, sagittal split osteotomy or third molar removal, and the consequences are a loss of sensation to the mandibular teeth, gingiva and lower lip. Because of its anatomical position in a bony canal, IAN suture is rarely evoked. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the reality of IAN regeneration by using electrophysiological and histological methods after experimental section and suture of this nerve in rabbits.

Immediate and late mandibular fractures after third molar removal.

Purpose: In this retrospective study, we analyzed immediate and late mandibular fractures after impacted lower third molar surgery.

Patients And Methods: One hundred fifty oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the north of- France were questioned about their experience with intraoperative and late mandibular fracture after third molar surgery. Cases were examined clinically and radiographically.

[A technic using MRI. A comparative study of 3 anesthetic technics of the inferior alveolar nerve].

In our study we used M.R. sectional imaging in the axial and coronal planes to investigate three alveolar nerve anaesthesia techniques: Gow Gates, Akinosi and Classical techniques.
