Hodgkin’s Lymphoma represent one type of lymphatic tissue malignant neoplasm. Current treatment of this pathology includes chemotherapy and radiotherapy of the affected fields. It is well-known that a bone injury…
Since it was introduced by Perthes in 1924 and with it’s different modifications (Obwegesser 1955, Dalpont 1961, Wolford 1985) through-out the years, the mandibular sagittal split osteotomy has been the…
Introduction: Segmental osteotomy is a surgical procedure of dentomucoalveolar or mucoalveolar flap movement to another position inside the maxilla. Objective: Case report of anterior segmental osteotomy in a patient with…
Aim: to evaluate the postoperative stability after maxillomandibular orthognathic surgery in different planes with regard to repositioning vector and magnitude as well as rotation of occlusal plane. Materials and methods:…
Masseteric hypertrophy is a relative common clinical finding in the general population. It may be associated with a parafunctional habit or occurs as an idiopathic entity. Temporalis muscle hypertrophy is…
Statement of the problem: We analyzed the functional and esthetic results after combining orthognathic surgery with L-shaped parietal bone graft rhinoplasty in patients with Binder’s syndrome. Materials and methods: 10…
Objective: The aim of this research was to determine the transverse stability of the segmental Le Fort I osteotomy technique. Patients and methods: 21 patients who underwent surgery between September…
For the treatment planning and subsequent follow-up in orthognathic surgery is very important to use standardized tools. Today we use images from a Cone Bean scanner which cannot resort to…
Objective: The aim of this research is to study the behavior of mandibular asymmetries in skeletal Class III (CIII) patients. Patients and methods: Out of 280 skeletal CIII patients treated…
Pseudoaneurysms in the maxillofacial territory are very rare. They are produced by an incomplete section of an artery’s internal wall. Unlike aneurysms, these are only covered by the external layers…
Class III malocclusion patients usually present serious psychosocial problems in early adolescence due to aesthetic factors. Clinician’s critical and scientific knowledge can prove most valuable whenever patient seek medical advice…
The asymmetric growth of the face may be triggered by skeletal congenital, genetic or traumatic as a result of injuries and fractures that impair mandibular growth. The correction of mandibular…
Facial asymmetry due to growth disturbances of the jaws almost always requires orthognathic surgical correction. The cause of facial asymmetry in most cases is trauma to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)…
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of patients with dentofacial deformity who needed surgical treatment, through translation and validation of the Orthognathic Quality of…
The aim of this study was evaluate the mechanical effect over teeth and bone structures of surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) in photoelastic skull analogs by comparing stress produced…
Introduction: Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is among the most variable maxillofacial syndromes showing unpredictable growth patterns. Therefore the severity of deformity greatly differs from total absence of ramus/condylar unit to neglectable…
Angioneurotic edema is an acute swelling involving the submucosal or subcutaneous tissues, being most often located in the oral and maxillofacial region, which can result in upper airway obstruction. Its…
The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical effect over teeth and bone structures of surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) in photoelastic skull analogs by comparing stress…
The preconditions in patients to be treated by orthognatic surgery are mostly focussed on malformation of the dental alveolar ridge as well as the deformity of the jaws. In some…
Purpose: This study was to evaluate the change of condylar position after BSSRO with posterior bending osteotomy (PBO) to minimize the interferences between proximal and distal segment in facial asymmetry….
