Abstract The surgical treatment of mandibular condyle fractures currently offers several possibilities for stable internal fixation. In this study, a finite element model evaluation was performed of three different methods…
Abstract Endotracheal tube fixation in patients with severe facial burns and edentulism is a challenge. We describe a simple and elegant method to secure the endotracheal tube in such patients…

Abstract The incidence of a periprosthetic joint infection is uncommon after total joint replacement. Since the clinical, psychological, and economic consequences of this complication are substantial, the development of management…
Abstract Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation is an excessive forward movement of the condyle beyond the articular eminence with complete separation of the articular surfaces and fixation in that position. This…
Abstract This study describes the clinical variables in 61 patients following total alloplastic temporomandibular joint reconstruction (TJR) in which the Biomet Microfixation Patient-Patient-Matched TMJ Implant was used. All patients were…
Abstract The spreader graft is a longitudinal graft placed between the dorsal septum and the upper lateral cartilage in a submucoperichondrial pocket. This graft has functional and aesthetic indications. Although…
Abstract The objective of this study was to determine whether the effectiveness of viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA) in patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) degenerative disorders depends on the presence…
Abstract The number of patients with mild exophthalmos, without severe eye symptoms, who wish to undergo aesthetic orbital decompression, is increasing. Removal of the lateral and inferior orbital walls is…
Abstract Multiple techniques exist for the repair of partial earlobe deformities. The procedures in use vary from minimal interventions involving marginal excision and closure, to cartilage grafting to prevent recurrence….
Abstract The clinical impact of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (E746–A750del) mutation and human papillomavirus (HPV) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is unclear. EGFR (E746–A750del) expression was analyzed in…
Abstract Intraoral maxillary squamous cell carcinoma (IOMSCC) tumours are comparatively rare compared to those occurring at other oral sites. This has resulted in limited studies regarding their pattern of local…
Abstract The predictive value of the Ki-67 labelling index and its relationship with radiosensitivity in oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) remains controversial. We sought to evaluate whether the expression of…
Abstract The objective of this study was to compare the prognosis and complications between selective neck dissection (SND) and comprehensive neck dissection (CND) for patients with a pathologically node-positive neck…
Abstract Positional plagiocephaly in infants is frequent. As well as positioning, physiotherapy, and osteopathy, helmet therapy is an effective treatment option. The outcome also depends on the timely initiation of…
Abstract Congenital craniofacial malformations such as Pierre Robin sequence or Treacher Collins syndrome are associated with mandibular micrognathia, resulting in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to a decreased pharyngeal airway;…
We respond to the comments received by the Editor concerning our publication, “New protocol to prevent TMJ reankylosis and potentially life threatening complications in triad patients”. We appreciate the comments…
We refer to the article “New protocol to prevent TMJ reankylosis and potentially life threatening complications in triad patients” by Andrade et al., published in your esteemed journal. Although the…
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the osseointegration of three different bone grafting techniques. Forty-eight mature New Zealand rabbits were divided randomly into three groups of 16…
Abstract The aim of this study was compare the efficacies of two oral sprays in reducing swelling, pain, and trismus after the extraction of impacted mandibular third molars. This prospective…
