Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the capacity of human dental follicle cells (hDFCs) for bone formation in vivo. hDFCs were obtained from wisdom teeth extracted from…
Abstract This study evaluated the effect of a modified Hyrax device and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on osteogenic periosteal distraction (OPD). Twelve adult male New Zealand white rabbits were separated into…
Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effects of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) associated or not with Bio-Oss on bone defects in the calvaria of rats. A critical-size defect of 5-mm…
Abstract Changes in cross-sectional area (CSA), volume (indicating muscle strength), and direction of the masseter and medial pterygoid muscles after surgical mandibular advancement were measured, along with the rotation of…
Abstract The correction of most cases of skeletal class II mandibular deficiency requires surgical advancement of the mandible for treatment of the malocclusion. Often genioplasty is included in the procedure…
Abstract Surgical implant placement in the orbital region for the support of a prosthesis is challenging due to the thin orbital rim and proximity to vital structures. This article reports…
Abstract The current literature was reviewed to evaluate the effect of autologous plasma concentrates on the preservation of extraction sockets. A comprehensive literature search was performed from October 2013 to…
Abstract A randomized clinical trial was carried out to evaluate postoperative stability after mandibular advancements in non-syndromal class II patients with a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) or distraction osteogenesis…
Abstract A diverse range of techniques is available for reconstruction of full-thickness calvarial defects and the optimum substrate for cranioplasty remains unproven. During a 9-year period, 149 patients underwent insertion…
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of Le Fort I maxillary inferior repositioning surgery in patients with a vertical maxillary deficiency at least 6 months…
Abstract Children with craniofacial microsomia (CFM) are at risk of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). This systematic review provides an overview of the literature on the prevalence of OSA in children…
Abstract The objective of this study was to determine, retrospectively, the influence of various risk factors on the staging of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) in a population attending…
Abstract The aim of this systematic review was to answer the question: What are the treatments available for bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) and their outcomes? A literature search…
Abstract The wedge-shaped infratemporal fossa is a constricted space and has long been a surgical challenge, mainly due to difficulties in access. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the skull, internal carotid…
Abstract It is generally assumed that upper lip cancer has a worse survival than lower lip cancer, but this notion is not convincingly supported by limited literature. Therefore, we tested…
Abstract Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most frequently occurring malignancies in the world. The RNA-binding protein quaking (QKI) is a newly identified tumour suppressor in multiple…
Abstract The risk factors for recurrence of head and neck cancer are classified as being of high or intermediate risk. Those of intermediate risk include multiple positive nodes without extracapsular…
Abstract We previously generated viable heterotopic bone in living animals and found that 3 months of intrinsic vascularization improved bone formation and matrix degeneration. In this study, we varied the…
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate bone healing at the bone–implant interface in rats with induced osteoporosis. The rats underwent a bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) and were fed…
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the dimensional changes in maxillary extraction sockets that have healed spontaneously and those treated with free gingival grafts. Ten…
