Nasopalatine duct cyst: report of 22 cases and review of the literature
2008
Objectives: Nasopalatine duct cysts (NPDCs) are the most common developmental, epithelial and non-odontogenic cysts of the maxillae. The present study describes the clinicopathological characteristics of 22 NPDCs and discusses their etiology, incidence, treatment and prognosis, with a review of the literature on the subject. Study design: A retrospective observational study was made comprising a period of 36 years (1970-2006), and yielding a series of 22 patients with histopathological confirmation of NPDC. Surgical treatment was carried out under local anesthesia and comprised the dissection and removal of the cyst adopting a usually palatine approach, with the preparation of an enveloping…
Comparative study of upper lip frenectomy with the CO2 laser versus the Er, Cr:YSGG laser
2012
Objectives: To compare upper lip frenulum reinsertion, bleeding, surgical time and surgical wound healing in frenectomies performed with the CO2 laser versus the Er, Cr:YSGG laser. Study design: A prospective study was carried out on 50 randomized pediatric patients who underwent rhomboidal resection of the upper lip frenulum with either the CO2 laser or the Er,Cr:YSGG laser. Twenty-five patients were assigned to each laser system. All patients were examined at 7, 14, 21 days and 4 months after the operation in order to assess the surgical wound healing. Results: Insertion of the frenulum, which was preoperatively located between the upper central incisors, migrated to the mucogingival junc…
Novel Digital Measurement Technique to Analyze the Palatine Suture Expansion after Palatine Rapid Maxillary Expansion Technique
2021
The aim of the study was to validate a novel digital measurement method to quantify the volume of the midpalatal suture after rapid maxillary expansion (RME). Material and methods: Eight patients with maxillary skeletal transverse deficiency were submitted to palatine suture expansion using the McNamara orthodontic appliance during a period of nine months. After 30 days of treatment, all patients were exposed postoperatively to a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan. Afterwards, the scans were uploaded into the three-dimensional orthodontic-planning software to allow the volumetric assessment of the palatine suture expansion through palatine rapid maxillary expansion using a McNamara a…
Social withdrawal behavior in infants with cleft lip and palate: the psychological impact of the malformation on parents and on parents-infant relati…
2017
La malformación de labio y paladar hendido (CL/P) es una de las malformaciones cráneo-faciales más frecuentes en humanos. Aunque esta condición médica no es una de las principales causas de mortalidad en los países desarrollados, conlleva una considerable morbilidad al paciente e impone una carga sustancial sobre la salud, la calidad de vida y el bienestar socioeconómico de los infantes y sus familias. En la actualidad, ningún protocolo genérico ha sido reconocido por toda la comunidad médica para el tratamiento de los infantes con CL/P y sus familias. Por tanto, cada paciente y su familia son atendidos dependiendo de la experiencia y la toma de decisiones del equipo médico. Además, el apoy…
