    Early Treatment of Class III Dentofacial Anomalies with Skeletal Anchorage Protocol and Orthopedic Maxillary Expansion-Report of 4 Clinical Cases
    (2024) Tapia C., Pedro; Becerra M., Carlos; Díaz S., Fernanda; Reyes A., Christopher; Prado, Javiera
    The resolution of dentofacial anomalies requires interdisciplinary work, ideally from an early age and with interceptive objectives. There are various surgical and non-surgical orthopaedic techniques described for the timely treatment of maxillomandibular dysmorphisms. Among the surgical alternatives, the use of mini plates and skeletal traction screws has allowed great progress in timely treatment of patients with skeletal class III dentofacial anomalies. The purpose of this work is to present the results of 4 pre-adolescent patients with a diagnosis of transverse maxillary compression and skeletal class III where the De Clerck technique with MARPE (Minescrew Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion) therapy was performed; clinically and imaging quantifying the resolution of the pre-existing dentofacial anomaly

    Sagittal Discrepancies of Intraoperative Results between 2D and 3D Planning in Orthognathic Surgery: A Series of 44 Cases
    (2024) Tapia C., Pedro; Díaz S., Fernanda; Sole V., Pedro; Matus-Miranda, Gustavo; Mordoh C., Sebastián; Becerra M., Carlos; Marín O., Paula
    Pre-surgical planning in orthognathic surgery is a process of vital importance for obtaining satisfactory results for both the clinician and the patient. There are different planning methods, among which 3D software is one of the most important. These allow precise observation of the movements of bone and soft tissue structures, which until recently could not be predicted. Despite its advantages, many specialists continue to plan using the 2D method. The aim of this paper is to present the discrepancies between 2D and 3D preoperative planning and the intraoperative results of 44 patients undergoing bimaxillary orthognathic surgery and, together with this, to expose the variables that possibly influence the occurrence of these differences.
