Temporomandibular joint ankyloses are a fusion of the mandibular condyle to the base of skull. Surgical advances have stemmed from innovation in computer planning, guidance, and intraoperative navigation, allowing surgeons…
Key points • Image and volume fusion precision affects soft tissue simulation accuracy. • Soft tissue response is not linear and requires regression algorithms. • Soft tissue response algorithms vary…
Key points • Virtual surgical planning, surgical navigation, intraoperative imaging, and customizable implants have emerged as reliable tools in implant surgery and orthognathic surgery and are gaining traction in the…
Key points • There is evidence from the literature suggesting that minimally invasive orthognathic surgery decreases patient morbidity and leads to faster recovery. • Standardizing each individual step of the…
Key points • Data collection in a digital workflow includes skeletal anatomy obtained from CBCT and occlusal topography through an optical scanner and STL files. • Setting the occlusion through…
Key points • Intraoral scanning and/or model scanning can be combined with cone beam computed tomography to accurately design and plan surgical guides for implant placement. • Three-dimensional printers have…
Abstract This case report describes the lingual orthodontic treatment of an adult patient with Angle Class I malocclusion, agenesis of mandibular right central incisor, severe overjet and deep overbite, excessive…
10.1055/b-0034-75550 Concepts of Retention A basic distinction is made between retention of limited duration and long-term retention. The definitions relate to the duration of the retention, rather than to the…
10.1055/b-0034-75544 Other Useful Auxiliaries Spikes Leveling and alignment can be associated with anterior and lateral bite opening. If the tongue starts to interpose in the space, resolve of the opposite…
