Abstract The use of buccal fat pad in the management of osteoradionecrosis has not been described previously. A series of 10 consecutive cases of osteoradionecrosis treated with a combination of…
Abstract Platelet-rich plasma is a concentrate of growth factors and osteoconductive proteins, which can play a major role in bone biology by accelerating and enhancing bone repair and regeneration. This…
Abstract The purpose of the current retrospective chart review is to describe the outcomes of conservative or surgical treatment of stage 2 bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ). 14 charts…
Abstract This study estimated the cumulative incidence and risk ratio for osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) after tooth extraction in patients with and without administration of bisphosphonates (BP) and identified…
Abstract Extranodal lymphoma of the head and neck comprises a heterogeneous group of tumours with different histological types, modes of presentation and prognosis. Lymphomatous involvement of skeletal muscles and particularly…
Abstract Histological reports on tumour specimens recorded at a teaching hospital in Accra, Ghana from 1989 to 2008 were reviewed to determine the incidence of head and neck tumours in…
Abstract Maxillectomy defects can be reconstructed by a prosthetic obturator or (free) flap transfer, but there is no consensus about the optimal method. This study evaluated 32 maxillectomy patients with…
Abstract This report highlights the management of a rare complication, namely allodynia, which arose following mandibular advancement surgery. A 56-year-old female underwent bilateral sagittal ramus advancement osteotomy. Postoperatively, she developed…
Abstract The key factor mitigating against prognosis in head and neck cancer is nodal metastasis and its management. Neck dissection has been known to play an integral part in this…
Abstract This study verified the resistance to displacement of six miniplate fixation methods after sagittal split osteotomy (SSO). SSO was performed in 30 polyurethane synthetic mandible replicas. The distal segments…
Abstract The objective of this study was to compare the bone repair along a mandibular body osteotomy stabilized with 2.0 mm absorbable and metallic systems. 12 male, adult mongrel dogs…
Abstract This study concerns intraosseous temperature changes during the use of piezosurgical inserts. On six fresh pig jaws heated to body temperature (36 °C), osteotomies and osteoplasties were performed in…
Abstract Neurosensory deficits are the most common complication following orthognathic surgery. Le Fort I and sagittal split ramus osteotomies have been widely studied but there is a lack of data…
Abstract Morphological changes in three-dimensional (3D) dentolabial relationships during ageing were assessed in healthy individuals. 38 subjects with healthy dentition were analysed. They were divided into a youthful group (21–34…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to describe and analyse the advantages and disadvantages of submandibular gland (SMG) resection using a robotic surgical system through a modified face-lift approach….
Abstract The effects of Le Fort I osteotomy on the nasal airway are controversial. This study aimed to evaluate nasal airway changes after Le Fort I. 25 patients underwent conventional…
Abstract A systematic review of the literature concerning robotic surgery in oral and maxillofacial (OMF), craniofacial and head and neck surgery was performed. The objective was to give a clear…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the properties of a novel inorganic xenogenic bone substitute, calcinated antler cancellous bone (CACB). Physicochemical properties of CACB including surface morphology,…
I read the article ‘Early extraction: a silver bullet to avoid nerve injury in lower third molar removal?’ by Zhang et al. with great interest. The authors concluded that ‘lower…
The recent article by Oreadi and Carlson assessed the complication rate of tracheotomy in a large case series, and we fully agree with their conclusions about the safety and efficacy…
