The Biomechanical Properties of Human Craniofacial Sutures and Relevant Variables in Sutural Distraction Osteogenesis: A Critical Review

La expansión de las ciudades como antropización del territorio implica impactos en la dinámica de usos del suelo. Esto se da por interacción de sistemas más o menos naturales afectados y se observa en la sustitución de coberturas de suelo. El espacio en el que se intensifica es la interfase. Una construcción compleja del concepto interfase servirá para identificar variables de gran intensidad de interacción y que implican impacto territorial. El objetivo de este trabajo fue la revisión crítica de investigaciones que permitieron identificar dichas variables para su espacialización. Se revisaron un total de 60 papers, producidos desde la revolución industrial, a partir de 3 enfoques: urbano, rural y natural. La sistematización se realizó a través de un software estadístico que determinó elementos comunes y relaciones entre las definiciones. Los resultados arrojaron que la mayoría de las teorías actuales provienen de países americanos y la India y que, los trabajos europeos, fueron publicados entre 10 y 15 años antes que estos. La mayor cantidad de producción sobre el análisis de interfase aún está asociada al Urbanismo. Asimismo, se destacaron variables relevantes que ubicaron al fenómeno entre la escala urbana y la regional como paradigma territorial. The cities expansion as a territory anthropization implies impacts in the land use dynamics. This occurs through the interaction between more or less natural affected systems and can be detected in the substitution of land cover. The space in which it intensifies is the interface. A complex construction of the interface concept will serve to identify variables of high intensity of interaction involving territorial impact. The objective of this work was the critical review of research that enabled identification of such variables for their spatialization. A total of 60 papers, produced since the industrial revolution, were reviewed using 3 approaches: urban, rural and natural. The systematization was carried out through statistical software that determined common elements and relationships between definitions. The results indicated that most of the current theories come from American countries and India and that the European papers were published 10-15 years earlier than these. The greatest amount of production on interface analysis is still associated with Urbanism. Furthermore, relevant variables were highlighted that located the phenomenon between the urban and regional scales as a territorial paradigm.

Correct Structure

Purpose Craniofacial anomalies (CFA) often result in growth abnormalities of the facial skeleton adversely affecting function and appearance. The functional problems caused by the structural anomalies include upper airway obstruction, speech abnormalities, feeding difficulty, hearing deficits, dental/occlusal defects, and cognitive and psychosocial impairment. Managing disorders of the craniofacial skeleton has been improved by the technique known as distraction osteogenesis (DO). In DO, new bone growth is stimulated allowing bones to be lengthened without need for bone graft. The purpose of this clinical focus article is to describe the technique and clinical applications and outcomes of DO in CFA. Conclusion Distraction can be applied to various regions of the craniofacial skeleton to correct structure and function. The benefits of this procedure include improved airway, feeding, occlusion, speech, and appearance, resulting in a better quality of life for patients with CFA.
