Introduction: Achieving good results in orthognathic surgery depends largely on precise and accurate model surgery, which in turn depends on the type of the articulator used. Standard model surgery has…
Purpose: To evaluate the changes in the pharyngeal airway space after different procedures in orthognathic surgery based on cephalometric study analysis in patients with dentofacial anomalies Class II and Class…
Object of study: To determine the effectiveness of finely diced medpor (polyethylene) implant material wrapped in surgicel and mixed with 1 ml of the patient’s blood for dorsal augmentation during…
In this study the changes in soft-palate morphology and nasopharyngeal relations and nasomaxillary complex substructures after orthopaedic rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and surgically assisted RME (SARME) were compared. A group…
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness and complications of biodegradable osteosynthesis versus titanium osteosynthesis in maxillofacial surgery. Material and method: After power analysis 230 consecutive…
Objective: The choice of the patient to perform orthognathic surgery is dependent on a number of reasons, voiced in their chief complaints. The aim of this study was to identify…
To date, little work has been done with 3D imaging tools in the analysis of the facial morphologies of various populations. This study investigates the facial morphologies of subjects from…
The goal of this study was to accurately compare the 3D soft tissue changes caused by skeletal transformations after a BSSO advancement one year after surgery. Methods: 18 consecutive patients…
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess associations between weight loss achieved through bariatric surgery, alterations in morphological cranio–cervico–facial characteristics and respiratory quality among obese patients. Methods:…
Many surgical procedures are used to approach facial feminization in transgender surgery (male to female). All the facial areas play surely an important role in the transformation but the most…
The goal of the present study was to verify the resistance to displacement of six different miniplate fixation methods after sagittal split osteotomy. Methods: Sagittal osteotomy was performed in 30…
The skeletal class II and class III its related to functional and sthetics problems. Among the functional changes are alterations of mastication, of speech and temporomandibular joint symptoms. Also the…
The aim of this study was to assess the biomechanical stress tolerance of screws used in 9 fixation methods after BSSO to determine which configuration leads to lesser force load…
Background and objectives: Conventional 2D cephalometric analysis can no longer provide acceptable data in our 3D reality. Orthognathic surgery became much more about aesthetics nowadays, then it was 20 years…
The aim of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical stress tolerance of different fixation methods after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy to determine which configuration leads to lesser force…
Introduction: Orthognathic surgery is a recognised surgical procedure to correct dentofacial deformities. Common practice among most maxillofacial practitioners is to treat genial problems simultaneously during orthognathic surgery while deferring or…
Purpose: This study was to evaluate bone healing and postoperative stability after posterior bending osteotomy (PBO) of distal segment in SSRO to minimize interferences between proximal and distal segments, and…
Purpose: Piezoelectric osteotomies have been limited in the field of orthognathics due to unfavorable tip angulations and insufficient cutting power for mandibular cuts. By adapting its ultrasonic blades and protective…
Purpose: Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) is a relatively new clinical procedure that combines selective alveolar corticotomy, particulate bone grafting and application of orthodontic force. The purpose of this study…
Introduction: The chin and nasal projection are two important contributory factors in establishing an aesthetically pleasing facial profile. However, conventional sliding genioplasty can produce paraesthesia and a notch at the…
