Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

The rare facial clefts receive this name due to their low prevalence. The most known and used classification was proposed by Tessier and employs a distinct numbering to indicate clefts affecting the soft and hard tissues, taking as reference point the eyelid and the orbit. The oral characteristics of individuals with rare facial clefts are not specific, and in most cases the oral phenotype follows the structures affected by the defect. Due to the complexity of the cleft and the number of affected structures, the surgical and dental rehabilitation is complex and extensive, requiring the participation of a multi- and interdisciplinary team.
