In addition, neural crest cells from anterior rhombomeres contribute to craniofacial targets of CN V, VII, IX and X involved in feeding and swallowing, suggesting potentially negative synergy for oro-facial functional development.
During presentation of facial expressions, functional magnetic resonance images were collected.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis in children often leads to facial deformity, functional deficit, and negative influence of the psychosocial development, which worsens with growth.
To study the effect of electrical stimulation on accelerating facial nerve functional recovery from a crush injury in the rat model.
In these cases, maxillary protraction is required for the harmonious facial esthetics and functional occlusion.
For example, patients with facial paralysis suffer functional, cosmetic, and psychological problems which impair the ability to communicate [2].
Namely, both the SD and SF tasks engaged the fusiform gyrus that plays an essential role in the facial processing, but functional coupling of activities between the fusiform gyrus and the parietal cortex in the left hemisphere was specifically enhanced in the SD task.
Formal assessment of facial dysmorphology and functional CNS performance at the screening stage was not considered necessary, reliable or appropriate in all settings.
There is also evidence for involvement of the fusiform gyrus in processing facial identity from functional neuroimaging studies that show release from repetition suppression when facial identity is changed (Winston et al., 2004; Rotshtein et al., 2005).
Satisfactory facial, dental, aesthetic and functional results were obtained.
They represent a major challenge in clinical practice because they can lead to functional impairment, facial deformation and disfigurement.
