Classification of cephalogenic alterations from a craneomaxilofacial integrative visión
Keywords:
alterations cephalic, classification, dismesenquimosis.Abstract
Introduction: classifications on cephalic alterations have great dispersion secondary to diversity of medical specialties involved in head region.
Objective: To describe relevant classifications in craniofacial malformations and recommend a new classification.
Method: Was carried out a mixed study: hermeneutic and quantitative descriptive, to analyze the production of this kind of classifications on the Web of Sciences during the years 1992 to 2012. As result 263 papers was find on this topic and 22 papers were selected because provided classifications or modifications in this respect. This research analyzed the anatomical region, the classification type, the type of malformation and the magazine of publication.
Results: There was a prevalence of the type of morphogenic classification in 60 %, the mostly classified malformation type of by defect (fissures and hypoplasia) in 72 % and the representative magazine of cephalic alterations classifications was the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery where 44 % of them were published. An integrative morpho-physiopathologic classification was suggested and internal and external validation was analyzed.
Conclusions: was demonstrated the absence of any classification that joined all the cephalic malformations of all the anatomical cephalic regions. The recommended classification would being of utility for medical and dentistry specialties related to this anatomical region.
Key words: alterations cephalic, classification, dismesenquimosis.
