Introduction: We present a comparative study of advantages and disadvantages of using a custom system designed osteosynthesis with CAD–CAM technology in large maxillomandibular advances. Methods: We present 8 cases of…
The objective of this study was to assess these geometrical changes of the condyle and lower incisors following a unilateral sagittal split osteotomy. A long-term clinical study of patients who…
The movements of the upper jaw and the lower jaw could be predicted by model surgery in classic procedure of the treatment of asymmetric dental facial deformity. However, it is…
Condylar hyperplasia (CH) is a complex deformity affecting the condyle and the mandible. The resulting Facial asymmetry has a diverse presentation. We present patients with various degrees of asymmetry and…
Objective: In this prospective comparative study, we looked at the postoperative dental and skeletal relapses in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery for skeletal class III deformity. The surgical interventions were single-jaw…
Background and objectives: Orbital floor fractures are a common result of orbital injury. These fractures can vary in size from small cracks to large defects. Fractures of the orbital floor…
Background: Type I Neurofibromatosis (NFI) is a dominant autosomal disease with a current incidence of 1 in 3000 births. Plexiform Neurofibromas (PN) are congenital tumours which present aesthetic and functional…
Trauma from road traffic accidents and interpersonal violence provide for at least 50% of any maxillofacial Surgeons in Kenya. High speed motor vehicle accidents are common due to the recently…
Aim: Describe and evaluate the incidence of orbital haematomas following a surgical orbital procedures. Method: Clinical presentation, treatment and outcome were collected after 280 orbital surgical procedures. Results: Three cases…
Background: Silent sinus syndrome (SSS) is a rare clinical entity of maxillary antral collapse secondary to hypoventilation leading to orbital deformation and enopthalmos. Objectives: To present the variety in presentation…
Introduction: Despite being different clinical entities, ectropion and entropion present similar pathogenesis and can be treated based in common principles. Lateral Tarsal Strip Technique (LTS) is a simple procedure to…
Background and objectives: Orbital tumours can be approached in several ways, but the orbital rims are often an obstacle to the surgeon’s direct visualization and access, especially if the lesion…
This is a case report of Iatrogenic pseudo-superior orbital fissure syndrome after use of oxidized regenerated cellulose ‘surgicel (Johnson & Johnson)’ in orbital reconstruction surgery. As unexpected temporarily effect of…
Background: Nucleostemin (NS) has been reported essential for maintenance of normal and cancer stem cell properties. However, the impacts of NS on malignant phenotype of OSCC and prognosis of patients…
Background and objectives: TNM classification and grading describe tumourbiological parameters of the oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) only incompletely. In solid malignancies the influence of immunological parameters on invasiveness, metastatic…
Introduction: Verrucous carcinoma (VC) is an epitelial malignant tumour that can occur in skin and mucosa. The etiopathogenesis of this entity remains unclear although tobacco (smokable and chewed), alcohol, virus…
Background and objectives: The incidence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in young (less than 40 years of age) and elderly (over 80 years of age) patients is rising. However,…
Background and objectives: Gorlin syndrome is an autosomal dominant, inherited cancer disease with a rare incidence. Diagnostic features are frequently missing in young patients, making the recognition difficult. The presence…
Introduction: Odontogenic keratocyst tumour (OKT) is a benign pathology. Affects more mandibule than maxilla. Usually asymptomatic, their finding is commonly radiographic. Two cases are described. Case 1: Male with radiographic…
Objective: The aim of the current study was to investigate the predictive value of standardized uptake value(SUV) measured by (18)F-FDG PET for regional lymph nodes (rLN) metastasis in patients with…
