Soft tissue changes during distraction osteogenesis
Abstract This study aimed to investigate soft tissue changes in distraction osteogenesis depending on various distraction and consolidation periods. Fifteen male rabbits were divided into three groups and evaluated for…
Pattern of acquired neck masses in a Kenyan paediatric population
Abstract Acquired paediatric neck masses constitute a diagnostic challenge. Their pattern is important in formulating management protocol. Reports from developing countries including Kenya are scarce. This study describes the causes,…
FAP-1 and NF-κB expressions in oral squamous cell carcinoma as potential markers for chemo-radio sensitivity and prognosis
Abstract This study was designed to investigate the feasibility of using Fas-associated phosphatase-1 (FAP-1), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and p53 as markers for chemo-radio sensitivity in oral squamous cell…
Soft tissue response to mandibular advancement using 3D CBCT scanning
Abstract This prospective longitudinal study assessed the 3D soft tissue changes following mandibular advancement surgery. Cranial base registration was performed for superimposition of virtual models built from cone beam computed…
Comparative evaluation of 2.0-mm locking plate system vs2.0-mm nonlocking plate system for mandibular fracture: a prospective randomized study
Abstract This study evaluated the efficacy of a 2.0-mm locking plate/screw system compared with a 2.0-mm non-locking plate/screw system in mandibular fractures. A prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted. Patients…
Review of biomechanical models used in studying the biomechanics of reconstructed mandibles
Abstract This study looked at computer and physical biomodels used to study the biomechanical performance of mandibular reconstruction, reviews the literature and explains the strengths and limitations of the models….
Is peripheral alcohol injection of value in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia? An analysis of 100 cases
Abstract This retrospective study assessed the effectiveness and complications of peripheral alcohol injections in the management of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). 100 patients were analyzed who received 250 peripheral alcohol injections…
A long-term comparative study of two rigid internal fixation techniques in terms of masticatory function and neurosensory disturbance after mandibular correction by bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy
Abstract Bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSO) is widely used to treat mandibular prognathism. Several methods have been described for fixation of the bony segments. This study compared two methods…
Extraoral prostheses using extraoral implants
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate extraoral prostheses and the use of extraoral implants in patients with facial defects. 10 cases were treated utilizing maxillofacial prostheses employing…
Digital three-dimensional image fusion processes for planning and evaluating orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. A systematic review
Abstract The three important tissue groups in orthognathic surgery (facial soft tissues, facial skeleton and dentition) can be referred to as a triad. This triad plays a decisive role in…
Myositis ossificans traumatica of the medial pterygoid
Abstract Myositis ossificans traumatica (MOT) is a non-neoplastic, heterotopic bone formation within muscle or fascia, presumably due to acute trauma, a burn, surgical manipulation, or repeated injury. A 36-year-old woman…
Modification of the bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) in a study using pig mandibles
Abstract In a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) mechanical irritation of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) (e.g. by chiselling) should be avoided to prevent neural damage. A modification of the…
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and oral lichen planus: a rare occurrence
Abstract Oral lichen planus (OLP) is frequently associated with hepatitis C virus infection but uncommonly with other causes of liver disorder. The authors report the case of a 41-year-old male…
Transmucosal fixation of the fractured edentulous mandible
Abstract Transmucosal fixation is a new strategy for the treatment of edentulous mandibular fractures using external fixation principles within the oral cavity. The component parts of this technique are not…
Multiple squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity in a young patient with graft-versus-host disease following allogenic bone marrow transplantation
Abstract The development of secondary malignancies is a potential long-term complication after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In particular, a higher incidence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has been…
Applicability of equine hydroxyapatite collagen (eHAC) bone blocks for lateral augmentation of the alveolar crest. A histological and histomorphometric analysis in rats
Abstract This study assessed the mechanical characteristics, biocompatibility and osteoconductive properties of an equine hydroxyapatite collagen (eHAC) bone block when applied as a bone substitute for lateral augmentation of rat…
A novel versatile technique for achieving buccolingual intermaxillary fixation
Abstract Intermaxillary fixation is commonly employed in maxillofacial trauma to utilise functional occlusion as a tool to perform open reduction and internal fixation of maxillary and mandibular fractures. This new…
Horizontal and vertical resistance strength of infrazygomatic mini-implants
Abstract This study assessed the adequacy of anchorage strength of infrazygomatic mini-implants in vertical and horizontal directions. Each brand of infrazygomatic mini-implant tested provided acceptable skeletal anchorage. Successful orthodontic treatment…
Osseous healing after a sagittal splitting ramus osteotomy
Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine osseous healing in the cleavage between the bone fragments after sagittal splitting ramus osteotomy (SSRO) utilizing computed tomography (CT). The subjects…
