Aims and objective: Human papilloma virus (HPV) has also been postulated to have a role in oral carcinogenesis. Our goal is to develop an appropriate model for recapitulating development and…
Purpose: Oral lesions usually lead to a diagnostic dilemma. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an important diagnostic aid for making a preoperative diagnosis of oral lesions. It does not…
Introduction: Bisphosphonates effectively reduce skeletal related events in patients with bone consuming diseases such as osseous metastases and osteoporosis. However, during the last years, the number of patients and case…
Objectiv e : Idiopathic orbital inflammation (IOI) is a benign inflammatory process usually confined to the orbit, with preponderance for extraorbital extension (EOE). We describe a case of IOI with…
Microvascular surgical techniques are able to provide a sound foundation that will create a morphology that provides the prosthodontist the opportunity to restore the patient with a partially or totally…
Earthquake in Haiti early 2010 became a worldwide concern and many countries sent their aid to help their people. Despite the trauma lesions because the earthquake, many other pathologies were…
Introduction: Reconstruction of orbital wall fracture is done to restore bony contour of the orbit out of functional reason and also to avoid development of an enophthalmos. By improvement of…
The reduction and internal fixation of unstable fractures which affect the region of the zygomatic arch and malar bone is no a small challenge to the maxillofacial surgeon who works…
Objectives: Aim of our study was the in vivo evaluation of the new developed bone welding method for the fixation of diacapitular mandibular condyle fractures by resorbable pins with a…
The three-dimensional (3D) virtual treatment planning and simulation of the patient with a dentofacial deformity are discussed. Objectives: The aim of this report was to present an integrated 3-dimensional virtual…
A European Commission funded project (“Saliwell”) has developed an intra-oral electro-stimulator of salivary glands to treat dry mouth. The device, named “GenNarino”, is a removable appliance, combining micro-electronics, battery, software…
The aim of this presentation is to demonstrate the recent innovations in stereophotogrammetry for accurate three-dimensional analysis of the face. The capture time for the face is 3 ms, it…
Establishing a process line from Digital Volume Tomography, through CAD/CAM implant modeling to the fabrication of patient individual implants and surgical guides. Taking advantage of latest developments in high resolution…
Objectives: With an ever-increasing strain on time available and financial restrictions to study leave budgets, centralised educational opportunities are getting more difficult to organise for postgraduate trainees. The logistics for…
Surgeries intending to reposition upper and lower jaw in patients suffering from dysgnathia and malocclusion are common and well established, but highly elective interventions. 3-d virtual planning for this kind…
When preparing patients for orthognatic surgery, one of the major concerns besides the functional outcome is the prediction of the postoperative facial appearance. To satisfy this whish, two-dimensional computer-assisted profile…
Objectives: To test the feasibility of the application of 3D planning software in the severe deformities with hemimandibular hyperplasia. Methods and materials: 13 consecutive patients from the department of Oral…
The aim of this study is to show positional changes of the mandibular condylar axis after backward or centering movements in skeletal class III patients. The anatomy of the body…
In the last years the computed tomography (CT) had been used in maxillofacial surgery for dento-skeletal deformities diagnosis and treatment planning. It is important to have precise information, which is…
The determination of the mineral content of the bone and its distribution by Computed Tomography (CT-Scan), allows defining insertion points for prosthetic device, diagnosis, or to determine the level of…
