The effect of injectable calcium phosphate cement on bone anchorage of titanium implants: an experimental feasibility study in dogs
Abstract Calcium phosphate has high osteotransductive potential. The injectable form of calcium phosphate cement (ICAP) can be used as an adjunctive supportive agent for dental implants. The aim of this…
Virtual occlusion in planning orthognathic surgical procedures
Abstract Accurate preoperative planning is mandatory for orthognathic surgery. One of the most important aims of this planning process is obtaining good postoperative dental occlusion. Recently, 3D image-based planning systems…

Abstract The anatomy of the pterygopalatine fossa pertinent to the technique of maxillary nerve block at the foramen rotundum was investigated and the ability of inexperienced surgeons to apply the…
Colorimetric analysis of unstained lesions surrounding oral squamous cell carcinomas and oral potentially malignant disorders using iodine
Abstract To determine whether the measurement of staining with 3% Lugol’s solution provided efficient criteria for determining the area of resection for oral carcinomas and oral potentially malignant disorders, the…
Neurosensory function following mandibular nerve lateralization for placement of implants
Abstract This prospective cohort study investigates the types and duration of neurosensory disturbances (NDs) related to mandibular nerve (MN) lateralization for placement of implants. From March 2001 to March 2007,…
Proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and TNF-α) and chemokines (IL-8 and MIP-1α) as markers of peri-implant tissue condition
Abstract Analysis of peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) offers a non-invasive means of studying the host response in peri-implant disease and may provide an early indication of patients at risk for…
Early secondary closure of alveolar clefts with mandibular symphyseal bone grafts and β-tri calcium phosphate (β-TCP)
Abstract Alveolar reconstruction of bony defects in cleft lip and palate patients is a widely accepted treatment regimen for which multiple donor sites can be used. For 25 years, autogeneous…
Risk factors contributing to symptomatic miniplate removal: a retrospective study of 153 bilateral sagittal split osteotomy patients
Abstract Removal of miniplates is a controversial topic in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Originally, miniplates were designed to be removed on completion of bone healing. The introduction of low profile…

Intra-articular injection of tenoxicam following temporomandibular joint arthrocentesis: a pilot study
Abstract This study examined the clinical and radiological effects of intra-articular tenoxicam injection following arthrocentesis and compared them with arthrocentesis alone in patients with disc displacement without reduction (DDwoR). 24…
Cone-beam CT in the assessment of mandibular invasion by oral squamous cell carcinoma: results of the preliminary study
Abstract This preliminary retrospective study evaluates the diagnostic value of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), as a potential standard preoperative procedure, in assessing mandibular invasion by oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC)…
Can parents predict obstructive sleep apnea in children with syndromic or complex craniosynostosis?
Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a clinical syndrome characterized by snoring, apneas and difficulty in breathing. These symptoms can be rated and a risk score (Brouillette score) can be…
Sandwich osteotomy for vertical and transversal augmentation of the posterior mandible
Abstract The aim of this study is to describe the treatment outcome after alveolar ridge augmentation in the atrophic posterior mandible by segmental sandwich osteotomy combined with an interpositional autograft…
Cystic change in alveolar bone graft
Abstract The authors report a cystic lesion within a previous unilateral cleft lip and alveolus bone graft site in a 15-year-old girl, 5 years after the secondary bone graft. The…
Mandibular intraosseous lipoma: clinical features of a condylar location
Abstract Lipomas are common benign neoplasms affecting many adipose tissue-containing organs of the body, including bone. Central lesions in bone account for less than 1% of all lipomas. In the…
Extreme oral manifestations in a Marfan-type syndrome
Abstract A 12-year-old girl with an otherwise typical Marfan syndrome (Ghent criteria fulfilled) presented with highly unusual oral manifestations consisting of supernumerary teeth and severe dental crowding. Pathological examination of…
Antimicrobial activity of Chinese medicine herbs against common bacteria in oral biofilm. A pilot study
Abstract Twenty traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against four common oral bacteria. TCMs were tested for sensitivity against Streptococcus mitis , Streptococcus sanguis , Streptococcus…
FDG avid supraclavicular neck adenopathy of tubercular etiology masquerading as neck recurrence in differentiated thyroid carcinoma: potential source of false positive FDG-PET study
We would like to alert our surgical colleagues to the potential of obtaining false positive FDG-PET/CT ( 18 F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography) results in the presence of tuberculosis. The…
Angiolipoma in head and neck: report of two cases and review of the literature
Abstract Angiolipomas are either encapsulated or non-encapsulated fatty tumours. They are distinguished from other lipomas by the excessive degree of vascular proliferation and because they are mixed with mature adipocytes….
