Abstract
Over the course of the past year, many interesting aspects of the multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of craniofacial disorders have been furthered. Several authors have shared their experiences, and new innovations have been described. Traditional ideas with regard to bone healing and growth have been expanded upon, and the role of alloplasts also is better understood now. Diagnosis and treatment planning have come a long way with the advent of new imaging techniques and applications. The ongoing discussion regarding absorbable fixation devices has continued, and the development of new technology has been presented. Some new techniques have also been brought to the forefront. Of note, distraction osteogenesis has been embraced as a viable alternative to traditional maxillomandibular surgery with bone grafting as well as other morbid procedures.
