A 79 year old patient received 15 implants in the upper and lower jaw 24 years ago, which were treated with a fixed bridge. After 24 years one implant in…
Background and objectives: The aim of this study is to analyze the reconstruction of small to moderate size intraoral defects following malignant tumors excision using the nasolabial inferiorly based flap….
To this study a group of 79 patients (36% male and 64% female), average age of 59 years old (ranging from 36 to 85 years old), showing atrophic maxilla, with…
Background and objectives: Patients with maxillary atrophy after multiple surgical attempts or oro-nasal communications after maxillectomy remain a challenge for adequate reconstruction and dental rehabilitation. A new palatal flap design…
Background and objectives: Implant stability is an indicator of osseointegration. Maxillary and mandibular anatomy differs in the amount of trabecular and cortical bone. The aim of this study was to…
Immediate implantation has the important advantages, as possibility to minimize of alveolar bone loss after physiological healing of tooth socket, decrease of surgical stages and terms of treatment. The purpose…
Background and objectives: It is evident that jaw growth may be very compromising for oral implants. Nevertheless, more and more, implants are placed in adolescents, specially after trauma. The aim…
Restoration of severely atrophic edentulous posterior maxilla with implant installation could be impossible unless, augmentation of that area was done. This study was made to evaluate augmentation of atrophic maxillary…
Background and objectives: To evaluate the benefits of pre-operative model surgery and the ease of use of a maxillary sinus surgical stent (MSSS) during maxillary sinus augmentation surgery with a…
Background: The placement of dental implant in the edentulous posterior maxilla often present difficulties as a result of insufficient bone due to pneumatization of the maxillary sinus and bone resorption…
Background and objectives: The objective of this study was to develop a 3D pharyngeal airway analysis using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in class III patients and to compare airway parameters…
Purpose: To show the applications of Rapid Prototyping technique (RP)in the mandible reconstruction. Methods: We treated 20 patients that were divided into 2 groups. Group A underwent by RP and…
Background and objectives: Dental and Maxillofacial radiology has long played an exciting and critical diagnostic role, never truer than now with the rapidly expanding array of imaging modalities. Conventional radiographs…
Introduction: Morphological changes are often observed in condyles after orthognatic surgery. CBCT enables interpretation of volumetric changes and 3D visualization of condylar changes; however, accurate 3D reconstruction and volume rendering…
Background : Quality of the interdisciplinary interface in oncological treatment between surgery, pathology and radiotherapy is mainly dependent on reliable anatomical three-dimensional allocation of specimen and their context sensitive interpretation…
The aim of this retrospective study was to test the reproducibility of three-dimensional (3D) mandibular cephalometric analysis in patients with retromicrognathia (Pierre Robin syndrome) compared with normal group of paediatric…
Background and objectives : Several attempts were reported in the literature regarding the use of computer-assisted techniques in reconstruction of orbitozygomatic fractures. The costs of such techniques may limit their…
Purpose : Reconstruction of oromandibular defects remains one of the most formidable surgical challenges the reconstructive head and neck surgeon faces. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the…
Background and objectives : Individualised therapy of maxillofacial skeleton, especially orbital walls fractures becomes recently more and more popular. Possibility to 3D print a model of a mirrored intact orbit…
Background: Dentists should accompany referrals with good quality, suitably diagnostic radiographic imaging that enables the referral to be triaged effectively. This will minimise radiation exposure necessitated by repeat radiographs. The…
