Filter by:Factors influencing the prognosis of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have been extensively studied. Previous studies have found that elevated serum total bilirubin levels are associated with cardiac death, heart failure readmission, and all-cause mortality in patients with chronic heart failure. However, the relationship between direct bilirubin and prognosis in patients with HFpEF is unclear.
A randomized clinical trial to introduce a modified 3D printed customized maxillary protraction facemask and evaluate its efficacy in comparison with the conventional maxillary protraction facemask therapy in correction of Class III malocclusion of young patients
The purpose of this prospective study is to compare treatment outcomes and the quality of life of skeletal Class III patients treated with conventional fixed appliances and aligners undergoing Surgery-first approach. Data will be collected through validated questionnaires: OQLQ (Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire), OHIP-14 (Oral Health Impact Proļ¬le), SF-36 (Medical Outcomes Study 36 - Item Short-Form Health Survey) and IOTN (Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need).
It is crucial to maintain the anatomic condylar positions during orthognathic surgery. Condylar positions are affected directly under general anesthesia because of joint and muscle relaxation. Possible unwanted changes in the joint position may cause incorrect positioning of the jawbones. This could affect the success of the surgery in terms of function and facial aesthetics causing the need for a second surgery. Our aim is to evaluate whether the use of MR Splint has a statistically significant effect on muscle relaxation-induced condyle position deviations under general anesthesia in Class III Laterognathia patients.
Research studies continues to attempt testing modifications to refine the treatment protocols through computer assisted design or computer-generated surgical Wafer splints, have greatly revolutionized the incorporation of digital imaging and 3D design in Orthognathic surgery. Integrating computer guided technology in orthognathic surgery aims to to simplify workup and reduce surgical errors, eliminate occlusal discrepancy, increase the realignment accuracy of the distal segments according to the preoperative plan. Implementing a waferless technique raised the question of efficiency versus the use of occlusal wafers and whether it has a significant measurable effect on the surgical outcome and objectives. Rationale for conducting this study is to assess the difference between the effect of computer guided waferless technique and computer guided technique with occlusal wafer on accuracy of postoperative occlusion and condylar position. .
Canine retraction after 1st premolar extracion into the extraction space is a routine treatment in orthodontics. Orthodontic patients requiring first premolar extraction, canine retraction and maximum anchorage were recruited for this randomized controlled trial. A search of the literature did not indicate the ideal frequency of elastomeric chain reactivation for optimum canine retraction. The study was approved by the ethical committee. The first premolars were extracted. Elastomeric chains were used to retract the canine distally into the 1st premolar space. The optimum reactivation interval was evaluated regarding the efficiency of treatment in terms of rate of canine retraction, canine tipping and rotation, root resorption and pain at the intervals of 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks. Three dimensional imaging, as well as digital scanning were the methods for data collection.
The aim of this prospective randomized controlled clinical study is to compare the effects of bone-anchored and tooth borne maxillary protraction on dentofacial structures in skeletal Class III patients.
The objective of this randomized controlled study will be to evaluate the dental and skeletal effects of maxillary protraction with a facemask, associated with MARPE and Class III elastics in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP) with maxillary retrusion, compared to HYRAX type maxillary expanders. The investigators will examine differences in treatment times, along with skeletal, dental and soft tissue changes.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Intravenous iron isomaltoside on maintaining hemoglobin concentration in patients undergoing bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. Fifty-eight patients, aged 19 to 40 years, scheduled for Bimaxillary orthognathic surgery will be divided into monofer (n=29) and control (n=29) groups. Randomly selected patients of the ulinastatin group are given intravenous iron isomaltoside. In contrast, patients in the control group receive an equivalent volume of normal saline as a placebo. The primary endpoints are postoperative hemoglobin concentration.
Background: Some head and facial abnormalities are rare and present at birth. Others are more common, and may not show up until puberty. These conditions have different causes and characteristics. Researchers want to learn more about these conditions by comparing people with face, head, and neck abnormalities to family members and to healthy volunteers without such conditions. Objectives: To learn more about abnormal development of the face, head, and neck. To determine their genetic variants. Eligibility: People who have not had surgery for facial trauma: People ages 2 and older with craniofacial abnormalities (may participate offsite) Unaffected relatives ages 2 and older Healthy volunteers ages 6 and older Design: Participants will be screened with medical history and physical exam focusing on head, face, and neck Participants may be followed for several years. Visits may require staying near the clinic for a few days. A visit is required for the following developmental stages, along with follow-up visits: Age 2-6 Age 6-10 Age 11-17 Age 18 and older Visits may include: Medical history Physical exam Questionnaires Oral exam Blood and urine tests Cheek swab: a cotton swab will be wiped across the inside of the cheek several times. Cone beam CT scan (CBCT): x-rays create an image of the head, face, teeth, and neck. Participants will stand still or sit on a chair for about 20 minutes while the scanner rotates around the head. Photos of the head and face Offsite participants will provide: Copies of medical and dental records Leftover tissue samples from previous surgery Blood sample or cheek swab
