Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the relationship of aquaporin-3 (AQP3) expression with clinico-pathological parameters and lymph node metastasis in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The immunohistochemical distribution…
Abstract Osteosarcoma of the cranio-facial structures and skull is rare. In children, only 5.6% of cases are localized in these areas. It is claimed that the mean age at presentation…
Abstract This was a retrospective study of 33 patients treated for sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma between 1995 and 2008. Epidemiological, clinical, histological, and therapeutic aspects of this series of patients…
Abstract Leucocyte- and platelet-rich plasma (L-PRP) is an autogenous platelet concentrate enriched with leukocytes that releases various growth factors responsible for the proliferation, regulation, and differentiation of mesenchymal cells during…
Abstract This in vivo study investigated the in vivo performance of two newly developed synthetic bone substitutes and compared them to commercially available xenografts (Bio-Oss, Geistlich Pharma AG, Switzerland; OsteoGraf,…
Abstract A novel technique was developed to remove osseointegrated implants without enlarging the bony socket. Immediate replacement was performed simultaneously using a same-size implant with good primary stability. The prosthesis…
Abstract This clinical and radiographic study investigated the use of transport distraction osteogenesis in unilateral temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis patients. Six patients aged between 4 and 8 years were selected…
Abstract The aim of this retrospective observational cohort study was to analyse and report the 5–10-year survival rates of endosseous zygomatic implants used in the rehabilitation of the atrophic maxilla….
Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess implant survival and 1-year clinical performance of implants placed in the posterior maxilla that had been subjected to maxillary sinus floor…
Abstract A previous randomized controlled trial (RCT) by Schiffman et al. (2007) compared four treatments strategies for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement without reduction with limited mouth opening (closed lock)….
Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in border movement of the mandible before and after mandibular ramus osteotomy in patients with prognathism. The subjects were…
Abstract The soft tissues of the facial profile may change after skeletal movement in orthognathic surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the differences and correlation…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to test the precision and accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) linear measurements for Le Fort I osteotomy, obtained from multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) and…
Abstract To examine the hypothesis that conservative treatment is applicable to younger patients with bilateral mandibular condylar fractures, we studied the effect of ageing on the healing of bilateral mandibular…
Abstract The author discusses a new role for stereolithic models in the management of complex mandibular fractures with reference to two case studies. The use of stereolithic models has become…
Abstract The inferiorly based buccinator myomucosal island flap is a useful reconstructive option for medium-sized intraoral mucosal defects. The pedicle length of this flap has not yet been determined. Thirteen…
Abstract We evaluated the safety, efficacy, and morbidity associated with the treatment of displaced mandibular condylar neck fractures using a retromandibular transparotid approach to reduce and rigidly fix using two…
