The dynamic development of orbital shape and volume during childhood creates several challenges for health professionals. There is a close relation with stomatognathic system formation. During prenatal development, the maxilla starts off... more
This project investigates different aspects of craniofacial phenotypes exhibited in individuals with Down syndrome (DS), siblings of individuals with DS, and typically developing sibling pairs. A human sample (4-12 yrs.) consisting of 3D... more
Following the invention of the first computed tomography (CT) scanner in the early 1970s, many innovations in three-dimensional (3D) diagnostic imaging technology have occurred, leading to a wide range of applications in craniofacial... more
Análisis de la relación entre alometría y dimorfismo sexual del tercio medio facial de un grupo de individuos entre los 17 y los 65 años de edad a la muerte, en la Colección Ósea Humana de Referencia de Población Colombiana (COHRPC).
Introduction: Solitary median maxillary central incisor (SMMCI) syndrome is a rare and complex disorder that occurs in 1:50,000 live births. The developmental defects are mainly located in the craniofacial midline, namely: the midline... more
RESUMO Existem vários parâmetros que podem ser usados para avaliar o padrão de crescimento mandibular. O objetivo principal deste estudo é determinar se as diagonais: facial, do ramo e mandibular mudam significativamente, segundo a... more
During the development of the vertebrate feeding apparatus, a variety of complicated cellular and molecular processes participate in the formation and integration of individual skeletal elements. The molecular mechanisms regulating the... more
Background: The developmental basis of craniofacial morphology hinges on interactions of numerous signalling systems. Extensive craniofacial variation in the polymorphic Arctic charr, a member of the salmonid family, from Lake... more
Objectives: Neandertals and humans are closely related but differ noticeably in adult morphology. Previous work has been equivocal as to the contribution of postnatal growth and development to these differences. Due to disparate... more
Las órbitas de los primates Haplorrhini son particulares dentro de los mamíferos por estar completamente separadas de la fenestra temporal y rodeadas por hueso, ser convergentes, estar frontalizadas y proveer la base para el desarrollo de... more
In the head of an embryo, a layer of mesenchyme surrounds the brain underneath the surface ectoderm. This cranial mesenchyme gives rise to the meninges, the calvaria (top part of the skull), and the dermis of the scalp. Abnormal... more
Secretory otitis media (SOM) is a disease of childhood, and this period is characterized by active growing of the craniofacial skeleton (CFS). In this study, we purposed to answer the question ‘how deviations in CFS play a role in... more
Growth patterns of the human facial skeleton have been of great interest and importance for biological anthropologists, forensic scientists, craniofacial surgeons, and orthopedists. Nevertheless, growth trends of the facial skeleton in... more
La transformación morfológica extrínseca del neurocráneo se produce no por la retracción pasiva de los tejidos cefálicos sino por su expansión compensatoria. Durante este proceso, el cerebro y la bóveda craneal se expanden hacia las zonas... more
Mandible condyle remodeling is a great challenge on craniofacial growth studies. The great majority of the reports deals with growing period. However , there is a great necessity to clarify the importance of functional stimulation on... more
Objective: growth and development of the anatomic region where the Eustachian tube (ET) is located are associated with the parameters related to other parts of the craniofacial skeleton (CFS). It has been suggested that ET dysfunction is... more
Organism size is controlled by interactions between genetic and environmental factors mediated by hormones with systemic and local effects. As changes in size are usually not isometric, a considerable diversity in shape can be generated... more
