Abstract Placement of dental implants in the interforaminal region of the edentulous mandible is considered a safe and routine surgical procedure. Hemorrhage in the floor of the mouth has been…
Abstract The key elements for bioartificial bone formation in 3D matrices are large numbers of osteogenic cells and supplies of oxygen and nutrition. Vascularization becomes more important with the increasing…
Abstract Primary intraosseous venous malformations are rare benign tumors that account for approximately 1% of all primary osseous tumors. They are rarely found in the midface. The authors report a…
Abstract Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the temporalis muscle are an extremely rare subgroup of head and neck AVMs. The authors report two cases presenting with temporal fossa tumor-like lesions. MRI…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of the disc in the healing of condylar fractures in the growing period. 40 growing and adult male Wistar…
Abstract The authors report their experience with 34 patients who had large full thickness nasal defects reconstructed with an implant-retained prosthesis. Their technique of modifying post-rhinectomy defects is described and…
I read with great interest the study of S ugar et al . Their aim was to compare the outcomes following fixation of mandibular angle fractures with a combined transbuccal…
Abstract Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), containing various growth factors, may speed up wound and bone healing. Using osteoconductive alloplastic materials in reconstructive surgery, the amount of autogenous bone needed can be…
Abstract The study reports the authors’ experience in managing TMJ ankylosis in Delta Nile, Egypt (1995–2006) and compares the surgical modalities used. 101 patients (109 joints) were reviewed in this…
Abstract The zygomatic implant is an alternative to bone grafting in extremely resorbed maxilla. This study evaluates the results of a consecutive cohort of 20 patients (mean age 56 years)…
Abstract Changes in epithelial cell activity and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines were examined utilizing an organotypic culture system as an in vitro model to study the effects of radiation…
Abstract Knowledge of the biomechanics of the mandible allows the surgeon to understand the forces acting on the mandible during function and the resulting deformation that can occur. This allows…
Abstract This prospective study describes and evaluates a surgical approach for 3D reconstruction of the posterior maxilla with autogenous mandibular bone in 16 patients (mean age 51 years). Bone blocks…
Abstract In mandibular deficient patients, mandibular growth is not expected after the adolescent growth spurt, so mandibular advancement surgery is often carried out at 13 years. To test if the…
Abstract A prospective study of all lower third molar surgery performed in the outpatient extraction clinic of a teaching dental hospital was conducted from January 1998 through October 2005 to…
Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the healing of critical-size surgical defects after implantation of porous nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide composite (nHA/PA) blocks based on a bilateral mandible model using adult New…
Abstract A 7-year-old boy presented with a periodontal problem related to an erupting lower molar. The tooth showed a 15 mm deep periodontal pocket on the buccal aspect. A microbiological…
