RESUMO
Dentofacial deformities and their treatment have physical and psychological repercussions on quality of life (QOL). Seventy-four patients were evaluated preoperatively (T0) and at 4-6 months postoperatively (T1). Oral health-related QOL was assessed using the short form of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). There was a statistically significant reduction in the average overall OHIP-14 score between T0 (13.23±6.45) and T1 (3.26±4.19). In addition, there were significant decreases in all seven OHIP-14 domains. Class III patients benefited in all domains evaluated, while a significant improvement was seen only in the psychological disability domain for class I patients. Class II patients showed a significant benefit in all domains except the domain of functional limitation. With regard to the total sample (n=74) and class III patients (n=58), correlations between domains were identified for all domains. The same correlation was not identified for class I (n=5) and II (n=11) patients. The entire sample and class III patients showed significant improvements in OHIP-14 scores for all degrees of postoperative sensory disturbance in the upper and lower lips, except for patients with degree 5 (extreme) disturbance of the upper lip. Orthognathic surgical treatment had a positive impact on oral health-related QOL in the patients evaluated.

The use of plates for the treatment of fractures can affect craniofacial bone development. This study investigated the effect of bioabsorbable plates and titanium microscrews on the growth of the craniofacial skeleton of rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), in the neonatal period. A LactoSorb plate and PROMM titanium microscrews were positioned across the coronal suture in animals in the study group. In the control group, only PROMM titanium microscrews were attached to the cranium. Anteroposterior linear measurements were obtained using 3 different gauging devices: digital precision caliper, EKG caliper and nylon string. Frontal-nasal (FN) distances were statistically different between the left and right side when the digital caliper (PAssuntos

An osteoma of the zygomatic arch in a 55-year-old woman is reported. Surgical resection through a preauricular incision was easily performed. The lesion was very large, but pedicled.

We describe a Brazilian child born with the hypoglossia-hypodactyly syndrome, complicated by bands joining the maxilla to the mandible. Clinical findings are presented, along with the surgical repair procedure.
