In a 4-year period, 40 compact aluminum oxide ceramic implants fixed with titanium plates and screws were used: 24 for the correction of mandibular defects, 9 for temporomandibular joint replacement, and 7 for augmentation of facial... more
A three-dimensional, multiplane cephalometric analysis is presented. This analysis permits visualization of skeletal midlines at selected depths of the craniofacial complex. When the midlines and associated anatomic structures are studied... more
By definition, degloving is skin and subcutaneous tissue detachment, most often affecting the limbs and extremities and occasionally the scalp. Degloving generally stems from high-energy trauma, but can also be intentional, such as in the... more
Approximately 22 million children in the United States sustain traumatic injuries every year, the etiologies of which vary with age as well as social and environmental factors. If not managed properly, these injuries can have a... more
This article presents a method of cephalometric tracing and analysis using the basilar view cephalogram and discusses its role in diagnosis and treatment planning. Landmarks and structures found in each of three separate basilar planes... more
CT imaging of complex maxillofacial fractures is common practice now, but the relative diagnostic value of spiral computed tomography (CT), multiplanar reformations (MPR), and three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions in evaluating... more
Abstract: With the ever increasing production of average soft tissue depth studies, data are becoming increasingly complex, less standardized, and more unwieldy. So far, no overarching review has been attempted to determine: the validity... more
