A case of mandibular prognathism with open bite and severe transverse maxillary deficiency treated with surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion with posterior alveolar osteotomy and two-jaw surgery

open access: yesOral and Maxillofacial Surgery Cases
Transverse maxillary deficiency (TMD) often causes severe crowding, posterior molar crossbite, and buccal corridors. In late adolescence, the maxillary midpalatal suture (MPS) forms an interdigitation that prevents MPS expansion by rapid palatal ...

Long‐term outcomes of microsurgical interdental papilla reconstruction: 13‐year and 18‐year case follow‐ups

open access: yesClinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Loss of the interdental papilla compromises esthetics, speech, and hygiene, significantly affecting quality of life and psychological well‐being. Reconstruction has long been considered unpredictable, particularly in Cairo RT3 cases with advanced interproximal bone loss.

A comparison of the effects of rapid maxillary expansion and fan-type rapid maxillary expansion on dentofacial structures.

open access: yesThe Angle orthodontist, 2004
The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the sagittal, transverse, and vertical effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and fan-type RME on dentofacial structures. The study group consisted of 34 patients, 14 boys and 20 girls (average age 12.5 years), selected without considering their skeletal class and sex.

Dental development in the tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus) and the evolution of vertebrate dentitions

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dentitions have diversified enormously during vertebrate evolution, involving reductions, modifications, or allocations to prey seizing and processing regions. A combination of ancient and novel features related to dental and oropharyngeal apparatuses is found in extant lineages of non‐teleost fishes, such as the gars.

The role of Rho GTPases in facial morphogenesis

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
The role of small GTPases, RHOA, RAC1, and CDC42 and pathway mediators is reviewed in the context of embryonic facial development. Lip fusion requires cytoskeletal remodeling during morphogenesis of the facial processes and during lip fusion.
