  • The branches of the Descending Palatine Artery and their relation to the vomeronasal organ in Angora goats
    Veterinarni Medicina, 2018
    Co-Authors: K. Besoluk, E. Eken, S. Bahar
    Abstract:

    The aim of this study was to reveal the branches of the Descending Palatine Artery, and its relation to the vomeronasal organ in Angora goats. For this purpose, ten heads of adult Angora goats obtained from a slaughterhouse were used. The ramifications of the latex enjected Descending Palatine Artery and their vomeronasal organ-related findings were revealed by fine dissection and transverse sections. Arterial blood reached the caudally vomeronasal organ primarily via the sphenoPalatine Artery, and also cranially via a fine branch of the major pala- tine Artery by crossing the Palatine fissure. The average diameters of both the Descending Palatine Artery and its branches were thicker on the left side than on the right, and its ramifications were not variable in this species.

    Abstract:

    Summary Purpose Understanding the anatomy of the pterygomaxillary junction region helps prevent blood loss in Le Fort I osteotomy. Here, we determined the location of the Descending Palatine Artery and the structure of the pterygomaxillary region. Patients and methods The study group consisted of 82 Japanese patients with mandibular prognathism and asymmetry, with and without maxillary retrognathism or asymmetry. A total of 164 sides were measured and divided into right versus left, men versus women, and bimaxillary osteotomy (B) versus mandibular osteotomy (S). Lateral and frontal cephalograms and computed tomography (CT) were analysed for all patients. The relationship between the cephalometric measurements and the measurements of the Descending Palatine Artery and pterygoid plate (PP) were assessed. Results There were no significant correlations between measurements of cephalograms and those of the Descending Palatine Artery and PPs. There were significant differences between right and left in lateral plate length ( p =0.0014) and thickness of PP ( p =0.0047). There were significant differences between men and women in right width of PP ( p =0.0034), right thickness of PP ( p =0.0063), left posterior length ( p =0.0196), and left thickness of PP ( p =0.0279). The B group had a shorter anterior length than the S group (right: p p =0.0027). Conclusion These results suggest that the location of the Descending Palatine Artery and the morphology of the PPs were not significantly associated with any cephalometric measurements. CT examination is necessary to recognize the anatomy of pterygomaxillary region and the exact positions of Descending Palatine Artery before Le Fort I osteotomy.

  • Assessment of pterygomaxillary separation in Le Fort I Osteotomy in class III patients.

    Abstract:

    Purpose To examine the separation of the pterygomaxillary region at the posterior nasal spine level after Le Fort I osteotomy in Class III patients. Patients and Methods The study group consisted of 37 Japanese patients with mandibular prognathism and asymmetry, with maxillary retrognathism or asymmetry. A total of 74 sides were examined. Le Fort I osteotomy was performed without a pterygoid osteotome, with an ultrasonic curette used to remove interference at the pterygomaxillary region. Postoperative computed tomography (CT) was analyzed for all patients. The separation of the pterygomaxillary region and the location of the Descending Palatine Artery were assessed. Results Although acceptable separation between the maxilla and pterygoid plates was achieved in all patients, an exact separation of the pterygomaxillary junction at the posterior nasal spine level was found in only 18 of 74 sides (24%). In 29 of 74 sides (39.2%), the separation occurred anterior to the Descending Palatine Artery. In 29 of 74 sides (39.2%), complete separation between the maxilla and lateral and/or medial pterygoid plate was not achieved, but lower level separation of the maxilla and pterygoid plate was always complete. The maxillary segments could be moved to the postoperative ideal position in all cases. Conclusion Le Fort I osteotomy without an osteotome does not always induce an exact separation at the pterygomaxillary junction at the posterior nasal spine level, but the ultrasonic bone curette can remove the interference between maxillary segment and pterygoid plates more safely.

  • Le Fort I osteotomy using an ultrasonic bone curette to fracture the pterygoid plates

    Abstract:

    Summary Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the advantageous use of an ultrasonic bone curette and to assess the mobilization of the pterygoid process after a Le Fort I osteotomy. Material and methods 14 Japanese adults (ranging in age from 17 to 30 years, mean 22.4) with jaw deformities diagnosed as mandibular prognathism or bimaxillary asymmetry underwent Le Fort I osteotomy with bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy or intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy. During the Le Fort I osteotomy, the Sonopet UST-2000™ ultrasonic bone curette was used to fracture the pterygoid process slightly above the level of the maxillary osteotomy without damaging the Descending Palatine Artery or other blood vessels and nerves. After surgery, the pterygoid process osteotomy and its mobility were evaluated from three-dimensional computed tomographic images. Results In all cases, the mobility of the pterygoid process could be achieved by using the device safely with minimal bleeding and no notable complications. The maxillary segment could be fixed in an ideal position and in all 14 cases, an ideal profile was achieved. Conclusion Ultrasonic bone curette offers a safe procedure for performing pterygoid process fractures without damaging the surrounding tissue such as the Descending Palatine Artery.
