Craniofacial fixation has been used for retention and support of facial prosthetic devices, useful in patients with squealed of treatment for cancer, tumors, trauma and congenital or genetic malformations. We…
Background: A number of complications can occur during sinus augmentation surgery and zygomatic implants surgery. These complications sometimes represent for the surgeon a very difficult management and treatment. Aim: The…
In the modern implantology, bone grafting has become a frequent procedure to reconstruct alveolar bone resorption and defects in edentulous areas. The aim of this prospective clinical study was to…
115 implants were inserted into fresh single root extraction sockets. The follow-up period ended at least 6 months after prosthetic treatment. In this clinical multicenter study the results of titanium…
Jaw defects are often caused by cysts, odontogenic tumors or atrophy after tooth extractions. For defect filling either bone substitution materials or autologous bone are used. The aim was, to…
The achievement of an “optimal” aesthetic and functional result in the corrective surgery of the cleft nose is a formidable undertaking. There are significant differences between the goals of conventional…
Introduction: Several techniques have been developed to reconstruct maxillary defects following surgery, in order to restore function and cosmesis. Reconstruction of such defects provide support to the orbital contents, obliterate…
Treatment of Benign Tumors in the mandible involves in most cases mandibular resections. The immediate reconstruction of patients is often controversial depending on techniques, material and methods. The intraoral approach…
Communications between oral and nasal cavities may occur as sequelae of accidents, congenital malformations – persisting after multiple surgical procedures – and after tumorsurgery. Multiple surgical techniques have been described…
The aim of this study was to report a case of a 19 years old girl, accomitted by an extensive Central Giant Cell Granuloma in mandible. The patient was submitted…
Objective: Determine the incidence of hardware related complications in mandibular reconstruction. Oncologic or non oncologic patients, with the use of miniplates and two different reconstruction plates to fix the bone…
Nowadays it is well known that microsurgical mandibular reconstruction with fibula transplants is a reliable therapeutic method, but still some complications arise and the results are sometimes, not so perfect…
Introduction: Calvarium is valued for craniomaxillofacial reconstruction because of the proximity of the donor site to the recipient site, reasonable resistance to resorbtion, suitable geometry, and ability to be rigidly…
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a complicated anatomical structure that is concerned with mastication, deglution, speech and head posture. Ankylosis of the TMJ occurs when the condyle is fused to…
Introduction: A 22 year old female with Crouzon’s syndrome and sleep apnea was brought in by her family to the hospital Loayza in Lima Peru for treatment of her mid-face…
Vertical alveolar distraction osteogenesis is an efficient method for augmentation prior to inserting dental implants. But a relapse of the transport segment and decrease in bone height before implant placement…
A case report of a 24 year old white girl with a bilateral TMJ anquilosis since she was 2 year old is presented. The treatment plan included a first phase…
Frontal sinus fractures are relatively rare, representing about 2–15% of facial fractures. Fractures of the frontal sinus occur as a result of high energy impacts, as is a common observation…
15 patients underwent temporomandibular joint (TMJ) reconstruction with Biomet stock total joint prostheses. Indications for TMJ reconstruction included ankylosis, rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative joint disease and condylar resorption, Jaw Tumors and…
Introduction: Facial trauma can involve hard and soft tissues, ranging from simple skin wounds to massive destruction of the craniofacial complex. The etiology of facial trauma is varied: car accidents,…
