Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess associations between weight loss achieved through bariatric surgery, alterations in morphological cranio–cervico–facial characteristics and respiratory quality among obese patients. Methods:…
Many surgical procedures are used to approach facial feminization in transgender surgery (male to female). All the facial areas play surely an important role in the transformation but the most…
The goal of the present study was to verify the resistance to displacement of six different miniplate fixation methods after sagittal split osteotomy. Methods: Sagittal osteotomy was performed in 30…
The skeletal class II and class III its related to functional and sthetics problems. Among the functional changes are alterations of mastication, of speech and temporomandibular joint symptoms. Also the…
The aim of this study was to assess the biomechanical stress tolerance of screws used in 9 fixation methods after BSSO to determine which configuration leads to lesser force load…
Background and objectives: Conventional 2D cephalometric analysis can no longer provide acceptable data in our 3D reality. Orthognathic surgery became much more about aesthetics nowadays, then it was 20 years…
The aim of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical stress tolerance of different fixation methods after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy to determine which configuration leads to lesser force…
Introduction: Orthognathic surgery is a recognised surgical procedure to correct dentofacial deformities. Common practice among most maxillofacial practitioners is to treat genial problems simultaneously during orthognathic surgery while deferring or…
Purpose: This study was to evaluate bone healing and postoperative stability after posterior bending osteotomy (PBO) of distal segment in SSRO to minimize interferences between proximal and distal segments, and…
Purpose: Piezoelectric osteotomies have been limited in the field of orthognathics due to unfavorable tip angulations and insufficient cutting power for mandibular cuts. By adapting its ultrasonic blades and protective…
