We agree that the pore size in porous polyethylene (ppe) ranges between 100 and 250 μm in diameter. These pores are engineered to possess tunnel like interconnecting networks which allows…
We read with interest the article by Richardson et al. on morcellized porous polyethylene dorsal grafts for rhinoplasty. The technique does appear to be very innovative. We recognize that there…
Abstract The aim of this study is the histopathological evaluation of the efficiency of N-2-butyl cyanoacrylate in the fixation of bone block grafts on mandible. Autogenous monocortical block grafts taken…
Abstract This study aimed to assess the volume of cancellous bone harvested by the medial approach from proximal tibia and compare the maximal compressive strength of decancellated tibias with intact…
Abstract To allow for implant placement in severe atrophic edentulous mandibles, distraction osteogenesis can be used to gain sufficient bone height. The efficacy of extra-osseous and intra-osseous devices is evaluated….
Abstract The aim of the present study was to compare the application of alloderm and mucosal graft for vestibuloplasty. This randomized controlled trial with split mouth design was carried out…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine if a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) replaced by a custom joint prosthesis could have been replaced by a stock joint prosthesis. Stereolithic…
Abstract In 2004, total alloplastic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) replacement began in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This paper presents initial subjective and objective data compiled between 2005 and 2009 from…
Abstract The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of five weekly two-needle arthrocentesis plus hyaluronic injections vs. the same protocol performed with a single-needle technique in patients…
Abstract Oral cancer is a major public health problem in India. Most patients present with locally advanced disease requiring complex resection and reconstruction strategies. Costs, operating time and availability of…
Abstract The aims of this study were to determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of ultrasonography in detecting zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures, and to highlight factors that may…
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety, utility and morbidity associated with the treatment of mandibular subcondylar fractures using the retromandibular transparotid approach and to evaluate…
Abstract True vertical maxillary deficiency is a characteristic of short face syndrome. In these patients, inferior repositioning of the maxilla (IRM) is indicated to improve facial aesthetics and function, but…
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the postoperative results of open reduction versus endoscopically controlled reconstructions of orbital floor fractures. The medical records of 83 patients, treated…
Abstract Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy of the mandible with counterclockwise rotation of the occlusal plane alone has traditionally been considered the least stable treatment method. Two miniplates on each side…
Abstract Processing and interpreting the face is generally very important because one is often required to make rapid decisions in life on the basis of meagre information. Ninety-two volunteers used…
Abstract Postoperative inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) neurosensory impairment was prospectively evaluated in 20 consecutive patients with mandibular prognathism who underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomy. Routine presurgical imaging was obtained for…
Abstract Basal cell adenocarcinoma (BCAC) is a rare malignant neoplasm in the salivary glands and BCAC of the minor salivary glands is exceedingly rare. Only nine cases of palatal BCACs…
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate factors affecting the selection of pectoralis major flap in the era of free tissue reconstruction for post ablative head and neck…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to analyse the causes of venous compromise and flap failure in radial forearm free flap (RFFF) surgery for intraoral reconstruction. One hundred seventy-eight…
