Abstract This study evaluates diagnostic markers to predict titanium implant failure. Retrospectively, implant outcome was scored in 109 subjects who had undergone titanium implant surgery, IL1A −889 C/T (rs1800587), IL1B…
Abstract Purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of miniscrew dental root proximity on its late stability degree. 40 miniscrews were inserted between maxillary second premolars and first…
Abstract The height and consistency of the bone tissue located above the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) represents an important challenge when a patient’s atrophied posterior mandible is rehabilitated with an…
Abstract This study evaluated the clinical outcome and the crestal bone resorption of implants placed with high insertion torque (up to 80 N cm). 102 patients were treated with 156…
Abstract Immediate placement refers to the placement of an implant into a tooth socket at the time of extraction; early placement refers to the placement of an implant after substantial…
Abstract Dental surgery generally causes stress and fear, which may affect patient physiology and increase perioperative anxiety. Dental anxiety is considered to be an important factor in determining the need…
Abstract The aim was to evaluate the management strategies of Dutch oral and maxillofacial surgeons when performing invasive dental or oral surgery in patients using oral antithrombotic medication (OAM). In…
Abstract The effects of mechanical instruments on the viability of cells are essential in terms of regeneration. There is considerable interest in cell repair following damage mediated by dental surgical…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between third molars and the inferior alveolar canal using panoramic radiographs and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and…
Abstract Arch bars and intermaxillary fixation (IMF) screws are the most popular ways to achieve IMF in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Both techniques have advantages and limitations. The author proposes…
Abstract This study investigated the exact intra-alveolar aetiology of a panoramic high-risk sign, darkening of the third molar roots. 83 mandibular third molar surgical removals demonstrating dark bands on the…
Abstract We report the case of a 32-year-old woman with bilateral blowout fractures. She presented with diplopia showing impaired abduction of the left eye soon after trauma. No other orbito-ocular…
Abstract It has been suggested that third molars increase mandibular fragility because they do not contribute to its strength. For ethical reasons, a human study design that would permit the…
Abstract Fractures of the mandibular condyle are common and account for 25–35% of all mandibular fractures reported in the literature. Even with the development of a consensus on the preference…
Abstract Atrophy of the mandible leads to a decrease in the bone mass, making it more vulnerable to fractures. A direct relationship has been demonstrated between the height of the…
Abstract Heterotopic ossification is the formation of new bone outside of the skeleton. We describe a previously unreported case of heterotopic ossification occurring within a fasciocutaneous radial forearm free flap…
Abstract The surgical management of advanced cervical metastases with carotid artery involvement in patients with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck can be difficult. The authors retrospectively…
Abstract Despite the emergence of free tissue transfer, the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMMF) still has a role in anterior base skull reconstruction (when free tissue transfer is not feasible)….
Abstract This study evaluated the quality of life (QL) of patients who survived oral cancer more than 5 years after treatment, using the Short-Form 36 questionnaire (SF-36), and assessed the…
Abstract The use of injectable cosmetic fillers in orofacial tissues has increased in the past few years. Although a wide variety of agents are available on the market and satisfactory…
