Abstract Two unusual cases of temporomandibular joint effusion in children are presented. The differential diagnosis, radiographic imaging, treatment, and possible etiologies are described. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) effusion is rare in…
Abstract Morphological changes of the condyles are often observed following orthognathic surgery. In addition to clinical assessment, radiographic evaluation of the condyles is required to distinguish the physiological condylar remodelling…
Abstract This paper describes a new type of miniplate system that is designed and custom made during virtual surgery planning based on an individual patient’s osteotomy. These miniplates are prefabricated…
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the transverse displacement of the proximal segment after bilateral sagittal osteotomy for mandibular setback and the amount and design of the…
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present the postoperative results obtained after full temporomandibular joint (TMJ) reconstruction employing the Biomet/Lorenz Microfixation TMJ replacement system (Jacksonville, FL, USA) in…
Abstract This technical note demonstrates the benefits of preoperative planning, involving the use of rapid prototype models and rehearsal of the surgical procedure, using image-guided navigational surgery. Optimum reconstruction of…
Abstract The use of a novel ultrasonic osteotome enabled the authors to modify well-established orthognathic osteotomies to more favourably address the anatomy. For this purpose, they utilized a powerful ultrasonic…
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare fentanyl-based versus remifentanil-based anesthesia with regards to the intraoperative hemodynamic stress response and recovery profiles in patients undergoing Le Fort I…
Abstract The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the benefits of orthognathic surgery to quality of life, the different motivations and perceptions of patients towards orthognathic surgery, and…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stability and viability of mandibular bone regeneration using a poly( l -lactide) (PLLA) mesh and autogenous particulate cancellous bone and…
Abstract We investigated the effect of microRNA-375 (miR-375) on tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)-induced cell death in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and further explored the potential molecular mechanism underlying…
Abstract The aims of this study were: (1) to compare the visual analogue scale (VAS) with the point evaluation system (PES) in the subjective evaluation of donor-site morbidity after fibula…
Abstract A case of recurrent maxillary ameloblastic carcinoma treated with Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery is reported. This case demonstrates an alternative treatment modality that has not been described previously for…
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of tissue-engineered mucosa (TEM) as a model for studying the acute effects of ionizing radiation (IR) on the oral…
Abstract There is growing interest in non-smoking non-drinking (NSND) patients presenting with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). There are, however, few published reports of OSCC in the elderly. We describe…
Abstract Most studies of the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with distant metastasis of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC) have used small patient samples. To further explore this issue,…
Abstract The exact boundaries of the upper airway subregions remain undefined. Consequently, anatomical limits vary greatly among different research groups and impede unbiased comparisons. The aim of this study was…
Abstract Computerized treatment planning is routinely used in cranio-maxillofacial applications. For these therapeutic applications, it is of critical importance to have a precise model of the structures in question. Improved…
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the letter submitted by the American Society of Temporomandibular Joint Surgeons (ASTMJS) concerning my recently published paper ‘A new surgical classification for…
The American Society of Temporomandibular Joint Surgeons (ASTMJS) would like to express an opinion regarding a recently published paper by Dimitroulis, entitled ‘A new surgical classification for temporomandibular joint disorders’….
