Introduction: Definitive management of traumatic injuries to the teeth and their supporting structures are often referred to the maxillofacial and oral surgeon for treatment of the acute phase. Further management…
Introduction: The extraction of the erupted upper third molars (EUTMs) may be required in different clinical conditions (i.e. orthodontic treatment, periodontal disease). This study evaluates a new anatomical–radiological–surgical classification for…
Introduction: Flapless technique has become a popular option in implantology recently. There are not many reports with large number of implants placed using this technique in the literature. Objective: To…
The placement of dental implants into fresh extraction sites has been performed for more than 20 years. There are numerous advantages in this treatment modality for both patient and surgeon….
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of systemic antibiotic prophylaxis 2 g amoxicillin/125 clavulanic acid in preventing infection after extracting inferior third molars totally covered by bone in healthy adults. Methods:…
Background: Previous studies show that the treatment of the implant surface presents more bone formation than the turned implants. Other studies indicate the possibility of having an implant in bone…
Introduction: During dentoalveolar surgery, liver transplant candidates need special care regarding hemostasis impairment, related to reduced hepatic synthesis of procoagulants factors and thrombocytopenia. Purpose: The aim of this prospective study…
Objective: To evaluate the role of statin (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor) when combined with autogenous bone for ridge augmentation. Material and methods: In 10 patients suffering from horizontal and vertical bone…
Introduction: Hydraulic procedures are reported to avoid any tearing forces on the sinus membrane. Hydrodynamic ultrasonic cavitational sinus lift (HUCSL) uses an ultrasonic oscillating water column to lift up the…
Aim: In daily practice of dental implants, it becomes an inevitable challenge to place the implants in the severe cases such as the narrow or shallow alveolar ridge. It has…
Aim: The aim of this study is to analyse the use of a computer-aided three-dimensional planning protocol in combination with previously inserted reference mini-implants and CAD/CAM technology to restore completely…
Purpose: To compare the intra-oral approach using a contra-angled hand piece with the standard transbuccal approach in the treatment of mandibular angle fractures. Patients and methods: Thirty patients with isolated…
Purpose: The removal of third molars is one of the most common procedures in oral surgery and inflammatory and infectious complications have been vastly documented in the literature. Despite the…
Introduction: Aim of the project is to analyse in a clinical and statistical way the indications vs. contraindications as well as the most common complications of the all on four…
Background: Many materials and techniques have been described for the treatment of craneal bone defects derived from decompressive craneotomy procedure, useful for endocranean hypertension treatment. The exclusive use of titanium…
Ninety-eight patients with segmental mandible defect were reconstructed with vascularized free fibular flap, in which 63 were males and 35 females, the age ranging from 16 to 76 years, and…
Introduction: Assessing treatment outcome is an integral part of audit process in surgical practise. This goes along way in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of adopted protocols and help to…
Aims of study: This study reports the longitudinal experience of one microsurgery unit performing free flap transfers for head and neck reconstruction on the consecutive patients in the past 10…
Introduction: The advances of microsurgical techniques have made the use of free tissue transfer in the pediatric population a viable reconstructive option. Objective: The purpose of this abstract is to…
Purpose: After insertion of mandible reconstruction plates, plate exposure and fracture are a clinical problem in medium and long term observation. The new three-dimensionally preformed Synthes Matrix Mandible reconstruction plate…
