Aim: Three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions of cone beam CT (CBCT) data facilitate preoperatively planning of orthognathic surgery in three dimensions. Superimpositioning of the pre- and postoperative 3D data enable comparison of…
Aim: To evaluate the use of cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) for upper airway analysis. Subsequently, to use CBCT to assess volumetric changes in the pharyngeal airway space (PAS) after orthognathic…
Background: Correction of severe anterior open bites is impossible with traditional orthodontic treatment and a conventional Le Fort I impaction osteotomy is often the only alternative. Skeletal anchorage is becoming…
Introduction: Several grafts and/or implants have been used for dorsal augmentation. In some cases, especially the traumatic, non-caucasian, and multi-operated ones, the amount of augmentation is higher than the usually…
