The Australian Craniofacial Unit, 1975-1996
Sets out the principles of craniofacial surgery and how they have been utilised to form the Australian Craniofacial Unit. Progress of the organisation is mapped over twenty one years using selected published papers in which the author has in some way contributed to the development of teaching, …

Tissue thickness measurement tool for craniofacial reconstruction
Craniofacial Reconstruction is a method of recreating the appearance of the face on the skull of a deceased individual for identification purposes. Older clay methods of reconstruction are inaccurate, time consuming and inflexible. The tremendous increase in the processing power of the computers …

The Role of MicroRNAs in Craniofacial Development
… pharyngeal arch and/or the frontonasal process. Craniofacial clefting can result from genetic and teratogenic disruptions affecting the growth and development of the first pharyngeal arch. Many of the molecular pathways regulating normal and abnormal growth and development of the first arch have …

Software for Designing Custom Orbital-Craniofacial Implant Plans
Purpose: Custom cranio-orbital implants have been shown to achieve better performance than their hand-shaped counterparts by restoring skull anatomy more accurately and by reducing surgery time. Designing a custom implant involves reconstructing a model of the patient's skull using their computed …

Craniofacial variation, integration, and evolutionary diversification in baboons
This dissertation aims to increase our understanding of Papio by: 1) examining variation within and between baboon species; 2) investigating morphological integration in the cranium, and; 3) determining what evolutionary processes produce diversification among baboon crania. Twenty-five …

Sleeping Tongue Posture and Its Relationship to Craniofacial Morphology
… and whether such posture differs among various craniofacial morphologies. Quantifiable measurements might allow for prediction of tongue-posture-related problems specific to certain facial types. Purpose: The objective of this study was to record sleeping tongue posture over time in 27 subjects …

MyosinX is Required For Craniofacial Development in Danio Rerio
<p>Craniofacial development is the process of laying early cartilage and bone patterns in the anterior region of the embryo, which ultimately results in shaping the structure of the face and head of an organism. Craniofacial abnormalities in humans, such as cleft lip and palate, are among the most …

Dentofacial morphology analysis: improved guidelines for forensic craniofacial reconstruction
… of the face in life, a sound knowledge of craniofacial skeletal and muscular anatomy is crucial. This is because the relationships between the musculature and underlying bony architecture contribute significantly to the uniqueness of each individual face. The aim of this study is to improve …

The extreme anterior domain coordinates brain and craniofacial development
… tip of the frog embryo, coordinates brain and craniofacial development through two distinct mechanisms. First, the EAD acts as a long range organizer for head development by regulating the size of both the brain and surrounding facial cartilage. Perturbing expression of frzb and crescent, genes …

Multiple roles of epithelial signaling during craniofacial and foregut morphogenesis
<p>Abstract</p><p>During embryonic development many structures crucial for breathing and eating arise from the pharyngeal and anterior foregut epithelium (FGE), which contains the oral ectoderm and the foregut endoderm. Proper differentiation and signaling within and from this epithelial tissue is …

Is craniofacial asymmetry progressive in the untreated congenital muscular torticollis?
Although craniofacial asymmetry is frequently involved in the congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) patients who require surgical release, it has not been evaluated appropriately. Therefore, little is still known concerning severity and change of craniofacial asymmetry with aging. The authors …

Towards an autologous tissue engineering construct for craniofacial bone repair
… investigates a prospective procedure to improve craniofacial bone healing using fibrin scaffolds and platelet rich plasma from patient blood, and adipose-derived stem cells from liposuction. The objectives of these studies are to evaluate the effects of fibrin scaffolds and platelet-rich plasma …

The occlusal plane inclination relative to craniofacial form: A cephalometric investigation
Background Objectives: The occlusal plane has been given much attention throughout the orthodontic literature. Studies have shown that the occlusal plane inclination varies relative to vertical and sagittal skeletal discrepencies. The Six Elements of Orofacial Harmony does not address the occlusal …

Cyclic Loading Effects on Craniofacial Strain and Sutural Growth in Pigs
Background: Current craniofacial growth modification devices utilize static forces to modulate sutural growth. Although effective, the application of continuous static forces over several months is not efficient. Evidence on the effects of these orthopedic forces on distant parts of the skull is …

Jaw mechanics and muscle behavior in adolescents with different craniofacial morphologies
Jaw mechanics and muscle behavior were evaluated in ten dolichofacial versus ten brachyfacial adolescents. Subjects consented to participate. Numerical modeling predicted TMJ loads for molar biting angles based on minimization of muscle effort and subjects' anatomical geometries (from cephalograms …

Craniofacial Changes Following Nonextraction Orthodontic Treatment: A Long-Term Cephalometric Analysis
<p>Long-term posttreatment cephalometric changes from late adolescence into early adulthood were analyzed in this study. Lateral cephalometric radiographs from a sample of 30 Class II division 1 Caucasian females treated without extractions were evaluated at posttreatment (mean age = 15.9 years) …
