Hemostatic Agents
Hemostasis is an integral and very important aspect of surgical practice. As a rule, most bleeding from dental surgery can be controlled by pressure. When the application of pressure does…
Orthognathic and Osteoperiosteal Flap Augmentation Strategies for Maxillary Dental Implant Reconstruction
In this article, five variations in orthognathic surgery procedures used to gain bone mass for implants are discussed: Le Fort I downgrafting, Le Fort I distraction, sub–Le Fort I interpositional…
Dental Implants in Oral Cancer Reconstruction
Endosseous implants have revolutionized dental prosthetic rehabilitation, providing a reliable, a stable, and an aesthetic option for dental reconstruction. Dental implants have similarly improved the functionality of reconstructions following cancer…
