Objective: Odontogenic infections can range from low-grade complications that can be treated with minor surgical procedures to severe, life-threatening infections requiring surgical airway interventions. In comparison to timely extractions, odontogenic…
Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a benign, slow growing, expansive epithelial odontogenic tumour. It is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a neoplasm composed of proliferating odontogenic epithelium embedded…
The aim of this study was to review the medical charts of patients asking for extraction of impacted mandibular third molars at the clinic of the Faculty of Dentistry (Finis…
Introduction: Mandibular continuity defects are frequently caused by tumour removal or significant trauma. Reconstructive procedures of segmental mandible defects often require bone graft harvesting, which results in donor site morbidity;…
After extraction of posterior mandibular teeth the posterior dentoalveolar maxillary extrusion is common finding in edentulous patients, in this conditions if the posterior maxillary teeth were lost the initial decrease…
Introduction: Hydraulic procedures are reported to avoid any tearing forces on the sinus membrane. Hydrodynamic ultrasonic cavitational sinuslift (HUCSL) uses an ultrasonic oscillating water column to lift up the sinus…
The aim of this paper is to present the two cases with extensive ameloblastomas of the mandible requiring immediate reconstruction. Patients with mandibular ameloblastomas diagnosed histopathologically were treated in Kingston…
Nowadays, it is well known that microsurgical jaw reconstruction with free fibula flap is a reliable therapeutic method. Only 25% of the patients obtain a complete oral rehabilitation and the…
Introduction: In many cases of the oral tumors it is technically possible to perform intraoral resection. If reconstruction with free flap is necessary, we need to expose donor vessels usually…
The process of reconstruction in the maxillofacial region, not just about restoring the anatomical structures in need, but also to restore function on an anatomical structure with new elements and…
Introduction: The reconstruction of a mandibular defect remains a significant challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. The aim of this study is to describe the experience of a Nigerian tertiary hospital…
The use of osteointegrated implants to rehabilitate large bone defects is still a challenge for surgeons. This is a good option of anchorage to provide support for a maxillary-dental-facial prosthesis…
Techniques of mandibular reconstruction have improved, and better responses have been achieved after the development of reconstruction plates. Several brands have defined criteria, and accurate prognoses can be made. However,…
Ameloblastomas are locally aggressive tumors of odontogenic epithelial origin, representing about 1% of the cysts and tumors of the oral cavity. The present study reports a case of a 41…
The JOF is a benign fibro-osseous lesion that affects the craniofacial skeleton, specially the periorbital, frontal and ethmoid bones. The mandible is affected by only 10% of the cases. They…
This is to review the longterm prognosis and fate of costochondral graft for temporo-mandibular joint reconstruction. The subjects were 12 patients who had been treated with costochondral graft for TMJ…
Successful reconstruction of defective jaw after cancer surgery for cancer patients must be a formidable challenge for a oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Previous treatment for mandibular cancer mainly focused on…
Purpose: Many approaches have been used for the reconstruction of mandible after resection of head and neck tumor. Vascularized or non vascularized bone grafts, titanium meshes with iliac particulate cancellous…
The latissimus dorsi flap was the first described in medical literature. The first use is attributed to Tansini in 1896, when applied it to breast reconstruction after radical mastectomy. In…
Introduction: Reconstructive surgery in the maxillofacial complex has experienced a great progress especially due to the introduction and refinement of procedures involving microvascularized tissue transfer to address reconstruction of primary…
