Purpose: Pattern and aetiology of maxillofacial injuries varies from one country to another and even within the same country depending on prevailing socio-economic, cultural and environmental factors. Material and methods:…
Introduction: This study provides a large statistical sample to investigate patterns of mandibular injury in a major urban trauma center. The purpose of this study is to allow identification of…
The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a numerical method for modeling static and dynamic simulations displaying a high power analysis. The method gives approximate numerical solutions to equations that predict…
Introduction: The pattern of facial trauma in the west of Ireland is distinctively different to that of the United Kingdom, and other published series on facial trauma. The epidemiology of…
Introduction: Patients presenting severe maxillary atrophy represent a challenge in terms of predictability, treatment time and complications. Prof. Branemark introduction of the zygoma fixtures to by-pass the alveolar area and…
Aim: Distant metastases as a hard symptom for malignancy of the tumor disease are found in 8–20% of oral cancer cases, but only 45% of them are confirmed by autopsy….
Digital photography increasingly developed to be an essential facility to support the clinical work. More than in any other speciality it is relevance is unsurpassed in the field of maxillo-facial…
This state of the art lecture will give an overview of recent research and clinic in dentoalveolar traumatology aimed at Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, who often are the only specialists…
One of the common causes for development of dentofacial deformities and also for relapse following orthognathic surgery involves condylar resorption. Most often the pathological process creating condylar resorption (in either…
Patients suffering sleep apnea, severe mandibular AP and transverse deficiency, TMJ arthrosis and syndromic mandibles have been treated with limited success with traditional surgery. Distraction osteogenesis offers new possibilities, unlimited…
This prospective study selected 21 patients who underwent orthognathic surgery for bite correction. Study selection included preexisting CBCT condylar resorption and class II malocclusion. No patient was dropped from the…
In the last five years we have corrected nearly 750 cases of severe malocclusion by bimaxillary surgery. 76% were Angle class II patients, 5% had an open bite, 19% were…
Ideopathic condylar resorption is most often associated with orthognathic surgery but it may also occur in relation to conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosis or be the result…
Idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) is a progressive alteration in condylar shape and a decrease in condylar mass and/or size for which there is no identifiable aetiology. The condition is usually…
Aim: The midface or the maxilla in syndromatic patients as cleft lip and palate, crouzon or Apert syndrome can be severely retruded and hypoplastic in antero posterior and vertical dimension…
Pierre Robin sequence is a pathology derived from alterations in the first and second branchial arches. Patients have breathing problems due to micrognathia and glossoptosis, causing severe upper airway obstruction…
There are medical and surgical treatments for the management of the obstructive sleep apnea patients. The gold standard of the medical treatments is the use of the positive pressure therapy…
Obstructive sleep apnea may pose serious health problems due to its adverse effects. Those risks related to obstructive sleep apnea that may be encountered have an impact on the quality…
The pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea is poorly defined, but in most patients it is thought to be related to maximal relaxation of the upper airway during rapid eye movement…
In the past, computer assisted surgery (CAS) had been introduced for precise orbital reconstruction. Beside this, CAD/CAM procedures found the way into the production of individual prefabricated titanium implants. However,…
