Abstract Together with the introduction of new orthodontic techniques and minimally invasive surgery protocols, the emergence of modern patient prototypes has given way to novel timing schemes for the handling…
Abstract We aimed to examine the relationship between crestal labial soft tissue thickness (CLSTT, measured with a digital calliper at the crestal level of casts) and implant buccolingual angulation (IBLA)….
Abstract Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) could be an alternative for the treatment of swelling and pain after orthognathic surgery, but there is a paucity of data in the literature on…
Abstract Using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), the present study compared three-dimensional (3D) changes in the pharyngeal airway and surrounding tissues in female skeletal class III patients treated with bimaxillary…
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine whether mandibular setback by sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) influences swallowing function. The subjects were 14 patients with skeletal class III…
Abstract The optimal management of mandibular angle fractures remains controversial. The aim of this experimental study was to test the stability and resistance to mechanical force of a new titanium…
Abstract A prospective randomized comparative study was conducted to compare open reduction and internal fixation of displaced fractures (>2 mm) via intraoral approach with application of a single monocortical miniplate…
Abstract We present a prospective randomized experimental study comparing bone regeneration obtained in 60 post-traumatic frontal sinuses obliterated with either calvarial bone dust ( n = 30, group I) or…
Abstract Malar and paranasal implants offer a way to augment and reconstruct midfacial deformities, and can be used across a broad spectrum of craniofacial deformities. Three patients aged between 13…
