  2. Craniofacial cleft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craniofacial_cleft

    The different types of Tessier clefts are numbered 0 to 14. These 15 different types of clefts can be put into 4 groups, based on their position: [4] midline clefts, paramedian clefts, orbital clefts and lateral clefts. The Tessier classification describes the clefts at soft tissue level as well as at bone level, because it appears that the ...

  3. Cleft lip and cleft palate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleft_lip_and_cleft_palate

    Clefts can also affect other parts of the face, such as the eyes, ears, nose, cheeks, and forehead. In 1976, Paul Tessier described fifteen lines of cleft. Most of these craniofacial clefts are even rarer and are frequently described as Tessier clefts using the numerical locator devised by Tessier. [56]

  4. Paul Tessier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Tessier

    Dr. Tessier started to improve surgical techniques to correct craniofacial deformations in the mid-1950s. He performed his first craniofacial operation in 1967. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, he developed the following methods: Using autogeneous (patient's own) bone grafts instead of silicone or acrylic to modify skull and facial contours. [2]

  5. Frontonasal dysplasia - Wikipedia

    In addition, a craniofacial cleft can be classified using the Tessier classification. Each of the clefts is numbered from 0 to 14. The 15 different types of clefts are then subdivided into 4 groups, based on their anatomical position in the face: [6] midline clefts, paramedian clefts, orbital clefts and lateral clefts. FND is a midline cleft ...

  6. Craniofacial surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craniofacial_surgery

    Craniofacial surgery is a surgical subspecialty that deals with congenital and acquired deformities of the head, skull, face, neck, jaws and associated structures. Although craniofacial treatment often involves manipulation of bone, craniofacial surgery is not tissue-specific; craniofacial surgeons deal with bone, skin, nerve, muscle, teeth ...

  7. Craniofacial regeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craniofacial_Regeneration

    Craniofacial regeneration is necessary following injury to the facial tissue. This can occur during surgery, where doctors fracture the face of a patient in order to correct craniofacial abnormalities such as cleft lip, Apert syndrome, Treacher Collins syndrome, Oligodontia, Cherubism, Crouzon syndrome, Pfeiffer Syndrome, Craniosynostosis, or Goldenhar Syndrome.

  8. Classification of cleft lip and cleft palate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_cleft...

    Cleft lip and clip palate is an "umbrella term" for a heterogeneous collection of orofacial clefts. It includes clefting of the upper lip, the maxillary alveolus (dental arch), and the hard or soft palate, in various combinations. The anatomic combinations include: [1] cleft lip [CL] cleft lip and alveolus [CLA] cleft lip, alveolus, and palate ...

    As a principal investigator in the Developmental Gene Annotation Project and the FaceBase consortium funded by the National Institutes of Health, [9] Liao and his collaborators identified genes associated with various craniofacial conditions, including Tessier clefts, orofacial clefts, arrhinia, [10] and frontonasal dysplasia [11]
