Botulinum toxin as a therapeutic adjunct in the management of facial fractures and osteotomies: case series and systematic review of an innovative chemical fixation approach.
In the field of maxillofacial surgery, facial bone fractures and osteotomies are common but the management of these conditions is associated with complications, including displacement after fracture or relapse after orthognathic surgery. Bo…

Systematic review of the histological and functional effects of botulinum toxin A on masticatory muscles: Consideration in dentofacial orthopedics and orthognathic surgery.
[INTRODUCTION] Botulinum toxin type A causes muscle paralysis and is widely used in the masticatory muscle for stomatognathic diseases, such as temporomandibular disorder, bruxism, or masseteric hypertrophy. Nonetheless, its muscular effect…

Simultaneous Mandibular Anterior Segmental Osteotomy and Genioplasty: A Novel Technique.
The current standard approach to treat class II malocclusion is orthodontic preparation followed by a mandibular advancement through bilateral sagittal split osteotomy associated or not with a genioplasty. However, when a malocclusion with …

Classification of pedicle ossification after maxillofacial reconstruction with bony free flap: An observational study.
[INTRODUCTION] Maxillofacial reconstruction with bony free flap is a classical technique. However, pedicle ossification after such reconstruction is a misunderstood complication that is rarely reported in the literature. It is usually manif…

Augmentation Genioplasty Using a Third Molar as a Bone Graft: An Alternative Surgical Technique.
[PURPOSE] Augmentation genioplasty corrects vertical chin deficiency. To stabilize the synthesis and to allow ossification, a biomaterial prop is necessary. Third molars are frequently removed during orthognathic surgery and provides good m…

Twenty-four years of experience in management of complex mandibular fractures with low cost, custom-made mandibular external fixation: A 65-patient series.
[INTRODUCTION] Ginestet introduced the first external device used to fix the mandible in 1936. In 1949, Morris introduced a biphasic fixation device. This "Joe Hall Morris fixation" design led to use of a self-crafted external fixator based…

[Surgical treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome. Functional assessment].
[INTRODUCTION] Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS), when associated with adverse skeletal dysmorphia, can be managed by curative surgery i.e. advanced maxillomandibular associated with genioplasty and uvulopalatoglossoplasty ("6 in 1").…

Retrospective study of 18 patients treated by maxillomandibular advancement with adjunctive procedures for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
A surgical protocol in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is presented. Eighteen patients with particular craniofacial characteristics consisting in maxillomandibular retroposition or retromandibulism underwent bimaxil…
