Do comparison of two different approaches to the pterygomaxillary junction in Le Fort I osteotomy?
With respect to the results of the present study, the use of osteotomes for pterygomaxillary dysjunction increases the incidence of fractures in maxillary osteotomy. However, the occurrence of almost all fractures subsequent to down fracture suggests the presence of possible bony splits that could not be diagnosed by radiographic examination immediately after maxillary osteotomy may have become apparent or transformed into fractures following down fracture.
The strong association between sub-dimensions of impulsivity and nicotine SA implies that interventions aimed to improve impulse control might help to reduce susceptibility to nicotine dependence and/or lead to successful smoking cessation.
