Abstract Melnick–Needles Syndrome (MNS) is a congenital syndrome associated with severe architectural disorder of the skeletal system that can cause significant effects on the craniofacial skeleton including poor aesthetics, impaired…
Abstract Solitary bone cysts are benign osteolytic lesions rarely involving the mandibular condyle. They are considered pseudocysts due to the absence of epithelium and their pathogenesis is unknown. These lesions…
Abstract Macroglossia is observed in the majority of paediatric patients diagnosed with Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome and surgical treatment may be indicated. A 20-year retrospective study was performed to evaluate all patients…
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of bacteria in samples of retrodiscal tissues taken from patients suffering from advanced internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint…
Abstract Intranasal ectopic tooth is a rare nidus for a rhinolith where local infection may be concomitant. No description of the triple association ‘actinomycotic rhinolithiasis ectopic tooth’ could be found…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine how keratocystic odontogenic tumours (KCOTs) in the mandible are reduced during marsupialisation, and to predict the best time for secondary enucleation…
Abstract Statistically, significant numbers of central bone specimens of suppurative osteomyelitis of the jaws (SOJ), bisphosphonate induced osteonecrosis of the jaws (BIONJ), and osteoradionecrosis of the jaws (ORNJ) were compared….
We read with great interest the article entitled: ‘Multiple squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity in a young patient with graft-versus-host disease following allogenic bone marrow transplantation’, by M…
We agree that the pore size in porous polyethylene (ppe) ranges between 100 and 250 μm in diameter. These pores are engineered to possess tunnel like interconnecting networks which allows…
We read with interest the article by Richardson et al. on morcellized porous polyethylene dorsal grafts for rhinoplasty. The technique does appear to be very innovative. We recognize that there…
Abstract The aim of this study is the histopathological evaluation of the efficiency of N-2-butyl cyanoacrylate in the fixation of bone block grafts on mandible. Autogenous monocortical block grafts taken…
Abstract This study aimed to assess the volume of cancellous bone harvested by the medial approach from proximal tibia and compare the maximal compressive strength of decancellated tibias with intact…
Abstract To allow for implant placement in severe atrophic edentulous mandibles, distraction osteogenesis can be used to gain sufficient bone height. The efficacy of extra-osseous and intra-osseous devices is evaluated….
Abstract The aim of the present study was to compare the application of alloderm and mucosal graft for vestibuloplasty. This randomized controlled trial with split mouth design was carried out…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine if a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) replaced by a custom joint prosthesis could have been replaced by a stock joint prosthesis. Stereolithic…
Abstract In 2004, total alloplastic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) replacement began in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This paper presents initial subjective and objective data compiled between 2005 and 2009 from…
Abstract The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of five weekly two-needle arthrocentesis plus hyaluronic injections vs. the same protocol performed with a single-needle technique in patients…
Abstract Oral cancer is a major public health problem in India. Most patients present with locally advanced disease requiring complex resection and reconstruction strategies. Costs, operating time and availability of…
Abstract The aims of this study were to determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of ultrasonography in detecting zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures, and to highlight factors that may…
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety, utility and morbidity associated with the treatment of mandibular subcondylar fractures using the retromandibular transparotid approach and to evaluate…
