Abstract The objective of this study was to determine, in patients with active unilateral condylar hyperplasia, which is the most reliable point to measure the length of the condylar unit:…
Abstract Recurrent mandibular dislocation is a rare condition that can have a negative impact on quality of life. Different surgical techniques are employed in the treatment of this condition, and…
Abstract Le Fort I osteotomy is the technique most applied worldwide in the treatment of dentoskeletal deformity involving the maxilla. Even though it is considered a very safe technique with…
Abstract Craniosynostosis is a congenital defect which can result in abnormal cranial morphology. Three dimensional (3D) stereophotogrammetry is potentially an ideal technique for the evaluation of cranial morphology and diagnosis…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the pressure drop in the pharyngeal airway space ( ΔP PAS ) and the minimum cross-sectional area (minCSA)…
Abstract This study was conducted to analyze the long-term facial growth of patients with craniofacial microsomia (CFM) after early mandible distraction osteogenesis (DO), and compared adult three-dimensional (3D) craniofacial features…
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the reliability of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging of the maxillary structures and the postoperative dentoskeletal, nasal airway, periodontal, and facial soft tissue changes…
Abstract Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) is an effective treatment for tongue-based airway obstruction in children with severe Pierre Robin sequence. An investigation was performed to determine whether certain clinical factors…
Sagittal fractures of the maxilla or palate, either in the midline or paramedian region, are usually associated with Le Fort fractures , resulting in oronasal communication. Early stabilization of these…
This is in response to the letter by Massarelli et al., regarding our technical note on the islanded facial artery musculomucosal flap for tongue reconstruction . We thank Massarelli et…
We read with great interest the technical note by Joseph et al. , concerning the use of a “technical modification to the FAMM flap” in order to reconstruct a post-ablative…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bilateral difference in condyle position in patients with deviated mandibular prognathism. Patients with asymmetrical ( n = 28) and symmetrical…
Abstract This retrospective study was performed to evaluate the bone thickness of the anterior maxillary region after reconstruction with autogenous bone blocks at 6 months and 5 years after surgery…
Abstract The objective of this systematic review was to test the hypothesis of no difference in implant treatment outcomes when using Bio-Oss alone or Bio-Oss mixed with particulate autogenous bone…
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between the papilla deficit and the distance between the bone crest at the neighbouring tooth and the contact point…
Abstract Chin ptosis is described as a descent of the soft tissue from the symphyseal region to a position under the lower contour of the mandible. Given its multifactorial causes,…
Abstract The aim of this study was to describe the treatment of class II malocclusion by sagittal advancement of the alveolar bone in the symphyseal area using an intraoral archwise…
Abstract During a reduction malarplasty, precise sectioning of the zygomatic arch according to the plan formulated in the diagnostic stage is very important, because differences in the locations of the…
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the anatomical linear measurements of the descending palatine canal and the pterygomaxillary fissure for Le Fort I preoperative planning. Seventy-five patients,…
