CAD/CAM silicone simulator for teaching cheiloplasty: description of the technique

TL;DR: A CAD/CAM silicone simulator is described, which was made using several maxillofacial prosthetic techniques and proved its worth in teaching junior surgeons how to do a cheiloplasty.

Craniofacial malformations and the orthodontist

TL;DR: The focus is on cleft lip and palate, followed by more complex deformities including craniosynostosis and craniofacial microsomia, and the role of the orthodontist in their management.

Classifying Common Oral Clefts: A New Approach After Descriptive Registration

TL;DR: A new classification based on the pathoembryological events that ultimately result in various subphenotypes of common oral clefts was tested, providing new cleft subgroups that may be used for clinical and fundamental research.
