Abstract Several techniques have been proposed to achieve sinus floor elevation and the formation of new bone through the grafting of autologous, heterologous, or alloplastic materials. The grafted materials act…
Abstract The present study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effectiveness of maxillary sinus floor elevation and immediate implant installation without the use of grafting material….
Abstract The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of additional cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging on decreasing the risk of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury during…
Abstract The aim of this study was to establish whether the pre-emptive use of lornoxicam (16 mg) in third molar surgery ensures successful postoperative analgesia and reduces rescue analgesic intake…
Abstract A retrospective review of 178 total temporomandibular joint replacements (TJR) performed on 106 patients at the University of Alabama at Birmingham during the years 2000–2010 was completed. Data regarding…
Abstract The case of a 17-year-old female with a benign osteoblastoma in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is reported. The patient had a 2.5-year history of reduced mouth opening accompanied by…
Abstract Postoperative pain and inflammation after oral surgery is mostly managed using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However, opioids combined with NSAIDs may improve pain management in patients, especially after traumatic…
Abstract Patients with too large a frontal prominence may suffer discomfort and subsequent self-esteem problems. The case of a 29-year-old male with a prominent forehead is presented. After three-dimensional (3D)…
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of three treatment methods for unilateral temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement without reduction (DDwoR). One hundred and twenty patients…
Abstract Porous polyethylene (PPE) implants are biocompatible alloplastic materials commonly used for facial augmentation. However, the effect of sub-periosteal PPE application on the surrounding tissues has not been analyzed clearly….
Abstract Osteoarthritis is one of the most frequent pathologies affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). There is evidence that the use of intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) for the treatment of this…
Abstract Preoperative delineation of the mandibular canal and surrounding cortical bone thickness is mandatory prior to bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO). The cortical bone thickness of 101 cadaveric mandibles was…
Abstract A tapered mandibular contour is popular with Far Eastern Asians. This study describes a safe and accurate method of using preoperative virtual surgical planning (VSP) and an intraoperative ostectomy…
Abstract The effects on craniofacial growth of two different soft palate repair techniques in two-stage palatoplasty were investigated. This was a retrospective, cross-sectional cohort study of 68 children with non-syndromic,…
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine whether non-linear three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D-FEA) can be applied to simulate pterygomaxillary dysjunction during Le Fort I osteotomy (LFI) not…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of a component columella augmentation technique in cleft nose rhinoplasty. This prospective study included rhinoplasty procedures in bilateral cleft…
Abstract The objective of this systematic review was to examine the effect of orthognathic surgery (OS) on the temporomandibular joint and oral function. Electronic databases were systematically searched for studies…
Abstract The aim of this study was to obtain computed tomography (CT) and physical measurements of the pterygomaxillary region to determine the anatomical and radiographic landmarks that clinicians need for…
Abstract The objective was to evaluate and compare single- and two-implant retained overdentures for the rehabilitation of the edentulous mandible. Fifty-six edentulous subjects were eligible for inclusion. Using a random…
Abstract Computer-guided piezocision can be used to overcome the disadvantages of corticotomy in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement. The aim of this clinical pilot study was to determine the accuracy of…
