Title: Management of Congenital and Acquired Craniofacial Deformities in the Pediatric Patient

Course Synopsis:

Acquired and congenital craniofacial deformities in the pediatric population present unique challenges due to incomplete growth of the maxillofacial complex. A multidisciplinary approach is essential to restoring form and function in these patients and is critical to their overall development. The goal is to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes by utilizing techniques tailored to their growth potential, addressing facial deformities while minimizing disruption to future development.
