The Development of Anesthesiology in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America, 2013
No legitimate history of anesthesiology can exclude the contributions of American dentistry. Similarly, no history of anesthesiology in dentistry can exclude the contributions of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS). Many contributions of OMS to the art and science of anesthesiology have been singular, cutting edge when introduced, have stood the test ...

Maxillofacial trauma—Developments, innovations and controversies

Injury, 2009
Despite seat belt and alcohol legislation, craniofacial trauma still remains a common health problem and significant workload in many maxillofacial units. Although management has evolved considerably from "wiring teeth together", complex fractures can still result in cosmetic and functional deformity.

Dysmorphophobia: recent developments of interest to the maxillofacial surgeon

British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1996
Recent changes in the classification of psychiatric illnesses have resulted in the term dysmorphophobia being replaced by that of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). This paper attempts to alert the clinician to the presenting features of the condition and discusses its management, with particular emphasis on the role of surgery and current concepts of ...

Expression of smoothened in mouse embryonic maxillofacial development

Biotechnic & Histochemistry, 2011
Hedgehog (Hh) signaling plays many key roles in the development of Drosophila and vertebrate embryos including regulation of craniofacial development. The seven-transmembrane protein, smoothened (Smo) transduces the Hh signal across the plasma membrane as an essential receptor of PTCHED1/2. There are few studies that evaluate the detailed expression of

Development of a Maxillofacial Multi-arm Surgery Robot

2012 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2012
As the complex anatomical structure of the maxillofacial region, the surgery in this area is high risk and difficult to implement. Therefore, a Maxillofacial Multi-arm Surgery Robot System (MMSRS) was designed to assist surgeons in the operation, which can improve surgical precision and make the doctors away from the heavy manual work.

Expression pattern of Ptch2 in mouse embryonic maxillofacial development

Acta Histochemica, 2022
Embryogenesis is modulated by numerous complex signaling cascades, which are essential for normal development. The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is part of these central cascades. As a homolog of Patched (Ptch)-1, Ptch2 initially did not appear to be as important as Ptch1.

Growth and Development of the Maxillofacial Skeleton: An Overview

2020
Treatment of pediatric facial fractures requires a comprehension of the development of the facial skeleton and dentition. In many cases, the treatment and follow-up required are dependent upon the stage of development of the affected bone.

Development of a Regional Database for Studying Epidemiology of Maxillofacial Trauma

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2010
This article discusses the development of the first regional computerized database for the epidemiological evaluation of maxillofacial trauma and tests its usefulness by evaluating the appropriateness and completeness of the resulting information.The database was developed using Microsoft Access, implemented using Visual Basic. Data were entered in the

HABITS AFFECTING DENTAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

Dental Clinics of North America, 1995
In concluding this discussion, it is apparent that altered oral function or rest position may have a significant influence on the developing orofacial region. In the case of non-nutritive sucking habits, the child's commitment and desire to stop the habit is important to the successful elimination of the habit.

Development of a new poly(dimethylsiloxane) maxillofacial prosthetic material

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, 2003
AbstractMaxillofacial prosthetic materials are used to rehabilitate patients suffering from acquired or congenital facial disfigurement. Silicone rubber materials [poly(dimethylsiloxane) rubbers] are the materials of choice. However, current formulations have inadequate mechanical properties, in particular, tear strength.
