The correction of developmental and acquired facial deformities demands an accurate surgical plan. In some cases, however, traditional methods of planning may fail due to inherent limitations, as the incapability…
Introduction: Orthognathic surgery is the surgical treatment of dentofacial anomalies. Much of the success of this surgery depends on the subjective opinion of patients. Objectives: To study the satisfaction of…
Background and objectives: Many reports have described neurosensory disturbances on Inferior Alveolar Nerve (IAN) after mandibular Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO). Paresthesia after BSSO has been reported between 12.5% and…
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate, via a computed tomography, the direction and magnitude of the segmental tilting that may occur after SARME in patients having transverse maxillary deficiency. Patients…
Intraoral vertico-sagittal ramus osteotomy is a suitable osteotomy for correction of mandibular prognathism and small retrognathism, associated with predictable results. Although few complications have been described when this technique is…
Objective: Developed an objective, stable horizontal reference plane that was not affected by craniofacial deformities or bad posture to serve as a foundation for determining head position during cephalometric analysis….
Ever since orthognathic surgery became common for correcting severe skeletal disharmonies, studies of the stability of such corrections have been thorough and on-going. But how much has the temporomandibular joint…
The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the long-term skeletal and dental stability in patients who underwent maxillo-mandibular counter-clockwise rotation and mandibular advancement, comparing two different methods for…
Introduction: We present a comparative study of advantages and disadvantages of using a custom system designed osteosynthesis with CAD–CAM technology in large maxillomandibular advances. Methods: We present 8 cases of…
The objective of this study was to assess these geometrical changes of the condyle and lower incisors following a unilateral sagittal split osteotomy. A long-term clinical study of patients who…
