Proteus syndrome is a rare disorder of undefined etiology. It is characterized by an overgrowth of various tissues, hyperostosis and epidermal and connective tissue nevi. Because of the variety of…
Introduction: Preoperative diagnosis and surgical planning are critical factors in determining the treatment outcome of orthognathic surgery. Especially in facial asymmetry, the pattern of asymmetry is so diverse that, diagnosis,…
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate fixation methods and find out which is the best for postoperative stabilization of the mandibular osteotomy using three-dimensional finite element analysis…
The resorption of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can occur, among some clinical situations, after orthognathic surgery in specific patients. This pathology affects a group with common characteristics, female patients, carrying…
Objective: To analyze the masticatory efficiency of individuals with class II dentofacial deformity before and 6 months after orthognathic surgery compared to a control group. The study was approved by…
Introduction: When we exam asymmetrical face patients we need to make sure which type of asymmetry the patient has. If this has been increasing we need to follow a treatment…
Our aim was to assess the relation between the severity of signs and symptoms of temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) and head posture in individuals with and without dentofacial deformity class II…
The conchal bowl is a portion of auricular cartilage commonly utilized as an autologus graft for various maxillofacial procedures. This study will provide detailed information about the anatomy of the…
Our aim was to determine the relation between the electromyographic activity of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and head posture in individuals with and without dentofacial deformity class II and class III….
Hemophilia is a recessive genetic disorder caused by a mutation on the X chromosome, with variable expression. Females are carriers and males express the disease by mother inheritance. This entity…
Recently orthognathic surgeries for correction of dentofacial deformities are well-established methods. But in aspect of soft tissue discrepancy, post-operative results are not so satisfactory, which means whereas after orthognathic surgery…
The purpose of this integrative literature review is to deepen knowledge of complications in orthognathic surgery. The search was carried out in the Virtual Health Library (VHL) and PUBMED with…
The purpose of this study was to evaluate fixation methods and find out which is the best for postoperative stabilization of the maxillary osteotomy using three-dimensional finite element analysis of…
Objective: The intraoral verticosagittal ramus osteotomy (IVSRO) was first described by Choung to correct mandibular prognathism. This osteotomy produces a contact area between the proximal and distal segments allowing a…
Platelet-rich fibrin is a second-generation platelet concentrate, prepared from centrifuged blood. PRF is a fibrin clot rich in platelets without addition of thrombin during preparation. PRF would necessarily have very…
Purpose: The aim of this prospective study was to objectively evaluate the IAN sensory disturbances in patients who underwent SSRO and its spontaneous recovery, to define the incidence of sensibility…
Introduction: The concept of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was proposed by the American College of Chest Physicians and the Society of Critical Care Medicine in 1991. This condition, which…
Introduction: To treat dentofacial deformities the maxillofacial surgeons must make a surgical cephalometric prediction, that can predict which will be the changes in the profile of patients after orthognathic surgery,…
Background: The timing and technique for palatoplasty is very controversial, recent literature advocates for early repair, between six and eighteen months of age. It is using three kinds of techniques…
Severe maxilla-facial disharmonies need a complete three dimensional analysis. This conference describes results of a social program financed by the French National Medical Insurance aimed at improving identification, diagnosis, follow-up…
