Pediatric Cranial Vault Pathology
A wide variety of diagnoses can be approached with a common framework for diagnosis, extirpation, and reconstruction of pediatric cranial vault pathologies. Durability of reconstruction is critical for the range of pediatric patients from infancy to adolescence. Rigid reconstruction, preferably with autologous tissue when possible, promotes brain protection and satisfactory aesthetic outcome. Careful planning can allow for immediate definitive reconstruction of defects without need for further surgical intervention. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics)

Pediatric Odontogenic Infections
Odontogenic infections are a broad group of head and neck conditions that arise from the teeth and surrounding periodontium. These largely preventable infections disproportionately affect members of ethnic and racial minorities and low-income/uninsured groups, and result in significant costs to our health care system. Left untreated, odontogenic infections can spread to deep spaces of the head and neck and can result in life-threatening complications. The mainstay of treatment includes timely treatment of the affected teeth. These infections are a global public health concern that could be diminished with improved access t...

Pediatric Craniomaxillofacial Pathology
This issue of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America focuses on the contemporary management of pathologic lesions involving the craniomaxillofacial region in children and adolescents. Craniomaxillofacial lesions in children can have a multitude of etiologies and can be broadly classified as benign, benign with aggressive features, or malignant. While malignant lesions are, fortunately, uncommon in children, treatment of all types of lesions in this population merits special considerations to account for growth and development, as well as the psychological effects of treatment on children, their familie...

Conceptual Principles in Pediatric Craniomaxillofacial Reconstruction
Pediatric craniomaxillofacial reconstruction must be approached through the lens of growth and durability. A systematic approach of matching defects to donor tissue drives the selection of autologous donor material. The menu of available techniques for reconstruction can be organized in a ladder, similar to adults, with additional considerations. Reconstructive surgeons have the opportunity to promote and maintain young patients ’ sense of identity during their psychosocial development. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics)
