RESUMO
True vertical maxillary deficiency is a characteristic of short face syndrome. In these patients, inferior repositioning of the maxilla (IRM) is indicated to improve facial aesthetics and function, but this procedure has been described as the most unstable. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long term, post surgical stability of IRM, fixed with four 2.0mm L-shaped miniplates, without any type of graft. A cephalometric study was performed, analysing linear measurements (anterior nasal spine, the A point, top of the incisor, top of the buccal-mesial cusp of the first molar, and posterior nasal spine on an X-Y coordinate system) traced immediately preoperatively, immediately postoperatively and at least 6 months post operatively. Eight young adult patients who underwent IRM were studied. The average results of this study were: surgical movement of 4.65 mm at I point, 5.32 mm at anterior nasal spine (ANS) point, and 4.70 mm at A point and relapses of 1.60 mm (35%), 2.23 mm (43%) and 2.10 mm (46%), respectively. It was concluded, that IRM using this type of internal rigid fixation without graft is unstable.

El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar un análisis retrospectivo de la etiología, incidencia, uso de dispositivos de seguridad, tipo y severidad de las fracturas, tratamiento y complicaciones de los traumatismos del tercio medio facial en una población pediátrica e adolescente del Estado de São Paulo. La muestra fue seleccionada a partir del análisis de historias clínicas de 2986 pacientes víctimas de traumatismos faciales atendidos entre 1999 y 2008 por el Área de Cirugía Buco-Maxilo-Facial de la Facultad de Odontología de Piracicaba, Universidad Estatal de Campinas, Estado de São Paulo-Brasil. Durante este periodo, 757 pacientes menores de 18 años fueron víctimas de traumatismos maxilofaciales. De éstos, 138 pacientes presentaron 148 fracturas nasales y de tercio medio. Los adolescentes fueron el grupo etario más afectado, mientras que el género masculino fue el de mayor prevalencia. Los accidentes ciclísticos se constituyeron en la principal etiología (21.7%). El tratamiento conservador fue utilizado en la gran mayoría de los casos (118 pacientes, 85.5%). Veinte pacientes (14.5%) recibieron tratamiento quirúrgico y solo un caso de complicación pos-operatoria fue reportado. La incidencia de traumatismos y fracturas del tercio medio fue alta en la región de estudio. Los accidentes ciclísticos y las agresiones físicas fueron los principales factores etiológicos, siendo el género masculino predominante en todos los grupos etarios evaluados. Las fracturas nasales y del complejo zigomático orbitario fueron las más prevalentes, mientras que el tratamiento conservador fue instituido en la gran mayoría de los casos
This study showed a retrospective analysis of the etiology, incidence, use of safety devices, type and severity of fractures, treatment and complications of midface trauma in a pediatric and adolescent population of São Paulo - Brazil. We analyzed 2986 medical records of facial trauma patients treated by the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Piracicaba Dental School, State University of Campinas, São Paulo - Brazil between 1999 and 2008. During this period, 757 patients under 18 were identified and 138 had 148 nasal and midface fractures. The adolescents were the most affected age group, male gender being the most prevalent. The most common injury causes were bicycle accident (21.74%) and violence (19.6%). Conservative treatment was used in the majority of cases (118 patients, 85.5%). Twenty patients (14.5%) received surgical treatment and only one case of postoperative complication was reported. The incidence of trauma and middle third fractures in pediatric and adolescents patients was high in the study area, being the main etiological factors the bicycle accidents and violence. The male were most affected in all age groups tested. Nasal fractures and zygomatic complex were most prevalent, while conservative treatment was instituted in most cases

OBJECTIVE: This study showed a retrospective analysis of the etiology, incidence and treatment of maxillofacial injuries in a pediatric and adolescent population of the State of Sao Paulo. METHODS: We analyzed 2986 medical records of victims of facial trauma under 18 years, treated between 1999 and 2008 by the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Piracicaba Dental School, University of Campinas, Sao Paulo - Brazil. During this period, 757 patients under 18 were victims of maxillofacial trauma, of which, 112 patients had 139 lines of fracture in the mandible. The most affected age group were male adolescents. RESULTS: The bicycle accidents constituted the main etiology (34.82%). The conservative treatment was used in 51% of cases, and 49% received surgical treatment. Only 5 cases of postoperative complications were identified. CONCLUSION: The incidence of trauma and mandible fractures in pediatric and adolescent patients was high in the area of study. Bicycle accidents and falls being the main etiological factors. The group of adolescents was most affected. The conservative and surgical treatment was used almost in the same proportion.

The aim of this retrospective study was to analyse the outcome of alveolar distraction osteogenesis for the correction of vertical defects in a large series of 55 cases. The existing bone deficiencies were secondary to atrophy after periodontal disease or tooth extraction. The overall success rate of this technique was 89.1%. The complications presented during treatment were divided into minor (no effect on final result, but immediate intervention required) 14/55 patients (25.4%), and major (lead to technique failure) 6/55 patients (10.9%). The frequency of minor complications was 8/27 in the anterior maxillary region, 1/27 in the anterior mandibular region and 15/27 in the posterior mandibular region. The frequency of major complications was 5/6 in the posterior mandibular region and 1/6 in the anterior maxillary region. The mean alveolar height achieved was 6mm. The overall rate was 36.3%. On the basis of these results it was concluded that alveolar distraction osteogenesis is an effective technique to treat vertical alveolar ridge deficiencies.

This retrospective study analyzed the etiologic factors, location and treatments for patients with oroantral or oronasal communications (OAC or ONC). Data analysis extended to gender, age, etiology, location, type of treatment and short-term complications from January 1988 to May 2004. A total of 112 patients with 101 (90%) OAC and 11 (10%) ONC were included. The main etiology for OAC was tooth extraction (95%) with similar prevalence between right (49%) and left (51%) side. For ONC, pathological conditions (27%) and exodontia (27%) were the most prevalent. For the treatment of OAC, suture was the technique most frequently used (60%), followed by buccal fat pad (28%), buccal flap (9%), palatal flap (2%) and one dental transplant (1%). For ONC, the following treatments were used: suture (46%), buccal flap (36%) and palatal flap (18%). Failure to eliminate the communication occurred in six (6%) patients of the OAC group and three (27%) of the ONC group. The results confirm that tooth extraction was the most common etiologic factor for ONC and OAC. Suture, when the communication was small (3-5 mm), and the use of a buccal fat pad (100% successful), when a larger communication existed (>5 mm), seemed to be the two best choices for treatment.
