Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of anesthesia obtained with a novel injection approach for inferior alveolar nerve block compared with the conventional injection approach. 40 patients in…
Abstract We report a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) in a reconstructed mandible. A 28-year-old woman underwent a segmental mandibulectomy due to a multicystic ameloblastoma in the left jaw. After…
Abstract In this study we investigated the relationships among the risk factors for inferior alveolar nerve injury (IANI), and the difference between preoperative imaging findings on panoramic radiographs and computed…
Abstract Sagittal split osteotomy may result in sensory impairment of the inferior alveolar nerve; altered sensation in the lower lip varies from patient to patient. We evaluated individual and intraoperative…
Abstract This was a double-blind randomized clinical trial to assess the effect of different pharmacological regimens on the level of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in urine and saliva, and to correlate…
Abstract Prediction of neurosensory deficit in the lower lip and chin after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) is challenging. This study aimed to elucidate factors related to the development and…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess our method of analytic model planning in achieving a planned maxillary advancement for the correction of a dentofacial deformity. A consecutive…
Abstract The motivation for orthognathic surgery is to improve facial appearance and quality of life. This study aimed to validate a three-dimensional (3D) orthognathic planning programme (Maxilim) for predicting soft…
Abstract Acute dislocation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a relatively common occurrence; chronic long-term dislocation is rare. Variance in the duration of dislocation and anatomical considerations make the treatment…
We read the retrospective study of Mizbah et al. on the comparison between oral cancer patients who received endosseous dental implants in the mandibular interforaminal area, either during ablative surgery…
We read the response to our retrospective study (Mizbah et al. ) thoroughly. The algorithm that was proposed is similar to the protocol that was applied in our ‘during ablative…
Abstract This study focused on three-dimensional (3D) airway space changes and stability following simultaneous maxillomandibular counterclockwise rotation, mandibular advancement, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) reconstruction with custom-made total joint prostheses (TMJ…
Abstract Two unusual cases of temporomandibular joint effusion in children are presented. The differential diagnosis, radiographic imaging, treatment, and possible etiologies are described. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) effusion is rare in…
Abstract Morphological changes of the condyles are often observed following orthognathic surgery. In addition to clinical assessment, radiographic evaluation of the condyles is required to distinguish the physiological condylar remodelling…
Abstract This paper describes a new type of miniplate system that is designed and custom made during virtual surgery planning based on an individual patient’s osteotomy. These miniplates are prefabricated…
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the transverse displacement of the proximal segment after bilateral sagittal osteotomy for mandibular setback and the amount and design of the…
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present the postoperative results obtained after full temporomandibular joint (TMJ) reconstruction employing the Biomet/Lorenz Microfixation TMJ replacement system (Jacksonville, FL, USA) in…
Abstract This technical note demonstrates the benefits of preoperative planning, involving the use of rapid prototype models and rehearsal of the surgical procedure, using image-guided navigational surgery. Optimum reconstruction of…
Abstract The use of a novel ultrasonic osteotome enabled the authors to modify well-established orthognathic osteotomies to more favourably address the anatomy. For this purpose, they utilized a powerful ultrasonic…
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare fentanyl-based versus remifentanil-based anesthesia with regards to the intraoperative hemodynamic stress response and recovery profiles in patients undergoing Le Fort I…
