Airway Compromise following Palatoplasty in Robin Sequence: Improving Safety and Predictability PEDIATRIC/CRANIOFACIAL

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared airway complications in Robin se-quence to cleft palate only using this screening airway protocol and identified risk factors for airway complication after palatoplasty.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seasonal Variation of Orofacial Clefts.

TL;DR: Seasonal variation indicates a distinct environmental influence on the formation of orofacial clefts in utero, more specifically in pregnancies with the first trimester during spring.

Loss and rebuilding: A qualitative study of late diagnosis of cleft palate

TL;DR: Loss and rebuilding was an overarching concept-from the crescendo leading up to the bombshell of diagnosis, followed by the aftermath of dealing with the child's long-term condition.

Maxillary rehabilitation using a removable partial denture with attachments in a cleft lip and palate patient: a clinical report.

TL;DR: The oral rehabilitation of a CLP adult patient who had maxillary bone and tooth loss, resulting in decreased occlusal vertical dimension is described, using a maxillary removable partial denture (RPD) attached to telescopic crowns.

The Neural Crest and Craniofacial Malformations

TL;DR: The neural crest is a temporary embryonic structure that is composed of a population of multipotent cells that delaminate from the ectoderm by epitheliomesenchymal transformation.

Retinoic Acid Embryopathy

TL;DR: It is possible that a major mechanism of isotretinoin teratogenesis is a deleterious effect on cephalic neural-crest cell activity that results in the observed craniofacial, cardiac, and thymic malformations.

Apaf1 (CED-4 homolog) regulates programmed cell death in mammalian development.

TL;DR: It is suggested that Apaf1 is essential for Casp3 activation in embryonic brain and is a key regulator of developmental programmed cell death in mammals.

Clinical manifestations in 105 persons with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.

TL;DR: The frequency of the clinical and radiological anomalies in Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome in a large population of US patients is delineated and guidelines for diagnosis and management are discussed.

Transforming growth factor-β3 is required for secondary palate fusion

TL;DR: This result demonstrates that TGF–β3 affects palatal shelf fusion by an intrinsic, primary mechanism rather than by effects secondary to craniofacial defects.
