FACIAL FAT GRAFTING

[Tiny]

How is this one just not a typical maxillary/midface underdevelopment case?  She looks horizontally deficient rather than vertically IMO and her

Short face syndrome cased by one or more of -
1) vertically deficient anterior height of the mandible,
2) retropositioned mandible with pronounced vertical overbite,
3) retropositioning of the maxilla with overclosure of the mandible
4) maxillary vertical deficiency and short middle third of the face

I think it generally refers to a vertical deficiency of the maxilla and often a short mandibular ramus too.  Often presents with deep overbite.  Face looks squarish and short in the middle and bottom thirds.

I guess it forms a psuedo-bone crystal structure but not as well organised on a micro level as real bone.

I recently started using a nano-HA toothpaste that's supposed to help recrystallise the tooth enamel.  Anyone else use it?  Results?

And finally in bone news - supplementing with calcium phosphate is supposed to be more effective than just calcium.  Which is weird to me as CaPO4 is going to break down into Ca2+ and (PO4)2- the minute it hits the stomach and the body doesn't exactly lack phosphate.

could you let us know the brand of the toothpaste? thanks.
