Skull Base Cephalometric Changes in Cranial Expansion by Springs

Abstract: The experimental rabbit model was shown to be adequate to the analysis proposed by the study. Under the action of springs, the groups with sagittal and parasagittal osteotomy were found to present a similar distraction of amalgam markers. A concomitant change in cephalometric measurements occurred, suggesting a change in the skull base mediated by expansible springs placed both in the sutural and nonsutural sites.

“…Unlike in previous studies (Gewalli et al, 2001;David et al, 2002;Davis et al, 2009b;Dornelles et al, 2010;de Faria Valle Dornelles et al, 2011), expansion was greatest not at parietal bone markers but, rather, at frontal ones. This occurred at least partly because our craniectomy extended beyond the coronal suture and the implant was placed on top of it, thus distributing force more anteriorly.…”

“…of rabbits (1.4 mm) is similar to that of patients undergoing surgery for craniosynostosis (1.8 mm) (Mooney et al, 1998;Gewalli et al, 2001;David et al, 2002;Guimaraes-Ferreira et al, 2002;Sanger et al, 2007;Davis et al, 2009a;de Faria Valle Dornelles et al, 2011). The mortality rate was high in the control and intervention groups.…”
