Filter by:In this retrospective study, patients with severe head and neck deformity were treated with monoblock pre-expanded prefabricated flaps for total face restoration. The opening of nostrils, oral and palpebral orifices, together with organ fabrication, were conducted under the guidance of intraoperative ICGA for hemodynamic evaluation. The hemodynamic analysis of flap perfusion before and after fenestration. Postoperative follow-up including vascular crisis, infection, flap necrosis and patients' aesthetic and functional recovery.
Facial pores are visible openings of pilosebaceous follicles, it is one of the important factors that affect the appearance of facial skin. This study aims to evaluate and compare the Efficacy and safety of 1565 nm non-ablative fractional laser (NAFL) and long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser (LPNY) in the treatment of enlarged facial pores.
Functional rehabilitation and quality of life after maxillofacial surgery have been emphasized in recent years. It depends mainly on outcomes of maxillofacial reconstruction and rehabilitation involving functions, esthetics, psychology acceptance and resocialization. Tooth loss, alveolar and maxillary bone resorption or changes of the hard palate cause facial asymmetry in patient with maxillofacial surgery. The facial soft tissue over the defect become recessed as a result of loss of lip and buccal support which lead to decrease the quality of life and psychological disorders. Prosthetic intervention with maxillary obturator prosthesis is necessary to restore the contours of the resected palate and to recreate the functional separation of the oral cavity and sinus and nasal cavities. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of maxillary obturator on facial morphology in patient with unilateral maxillary defect by using 3 dimensional digital stereophotogrammetry compared to the intact side of the same patient
This study involves the use of an Investigational Product called NTX-001. It is a product used in the repair of nerve injuries. It is used in the operating room. The main purposes of this study are to 1) see how safe NTX-001 is when used in nerve repair and, 2) see if your nerve becomes functional in a shorter period of time when compared to what is normally done to treat nerve injuries.
The global coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) has led to an increased need to wear protective equipment such as wearing face masks and practicing hygiene measures such as more frequent use of antiseptics. These measures can lead to changes in the skin, the development of new inflammatory skin diseases or exacerbation of existing ones, with health professionals especially under the risk of developing these changes. Changes in facial skin due to wearing masks have been observed in a number of studies, however, part of the study was based solely on subjects' self-assessment or clinical assessment, and only a small part on objective measurements of skin parameters. Also, the impact of prolonged masks' use have not been investigated. The aim of these study was to investigate the effects of constant, long-term use of protective masks on facial skin.
This is study aims to evaluate the topical safety (tolerability/acceptability) and efficacy of TH Facial Moisturizer and TH Lip Moisturizer Investigational products after 21 ± 2 days of use under normal conditions on the half-face by adult participants who underwent dermatological facial procedure with fractional CO2 Laser under the supervision of a dermatologist. For these investigational products, safety parameters, clinical efficacy, instrumental efficacy (skin hydration, skin barrier integrity and facial imaging) and perceived efficacy through subjective perception questionnaires will be evaluated. Subjects will receive the product to use it at home for 21 +/- 2 days.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to assess the efficacy of stabilization splint treatment on TMD-related facial pain and oral health-related quality of life during a one-year follow-up. Eighty TMD patients were randomly assigned to two groups: splint group (n=39) and control group (n=41). The patients in the splint group were treated with a stabilization splint and received counseling and instructions for masticatory muscle exercises. The controls received only counseling and instructions for masticatory muscles exercises. The outcome variables were the intensity of facial pain (as measured with visual analogue scale, VAS), patients' subjective estimate of symptoms and treatment outcome, as well as Oral Heath Impact Profile (OHIP)-14. The differences in variables between the groups at each follow-up points (1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after baseline) were analyzed using regression models. Group status and presence of psychosocial symptoms were included as the explanatory factor and baseline VAS, gender, age, length of treatment and general health status as confounders.
The use of free Neurovascularized muscles like free latissimus and gracillis muscles for reanimation of long-standing facial palsy patients using the hypoglossal nerve for innervating these muscles
The purpose of this study is to evaluate neurotomy as an alternative treatment to Botox injections for severe synkinesis following peripheral facial palsy
Systemic sclerosis is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by microangiopathy, activation of the immune system, and sclerosis of tissues including the skin. Facial involvement is frequent and disabling. It causes significant functional and aesthetic discomfort, and a major deterioration in quality of life. It results in a loss of suppleness of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint, peribuccal rhagades, microstomia, and dry mouth causing difficulties in mouth opening, feeding, dental care, and weight loss. Facial involvement in systemic sclerosis can be assessed using the Mouth Handicap in Systemic Sclerosis (MHISS) score, a validated patient questionnaire assessing the functional and aesthetic consequences of systemic sclerosis on the face. Although common and disabling, facial involvement is underestimated and poorly managed. Immunosuppressive and/or anti-fibrosis drugs are not very effective. Facial rehabilitation could significantly improve the mouth handicap but facial rehabilitation is not currently performed in standard care in systemic sclerosis patients. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a personalized rehabilitation program vs standard care in facial involvement of systemic sclerosis patients.
