Edentulousness paired with severe mandibular bone loss continues to be a challenge for implant dentists. Ridge augmentation with autogenous bone requires major surgery. Distraction osteogenesis (DO), by contrast, regenerates the…
Aim: To present the experience with bimaxillary expansion using Surgically Assisted Rapid Maxillary Expansion (SARME) and Mandibular Midline Distraction (MMD). Methods: A retrospective study using the records of all bimaxillary…
BSSO, described by H. Obwegeser, is a well known surgical procedure which is used worldwide from more than 50 years. That surgical technique is often responsible of some damage: mental…
Purpose: To discuss a retrospective study of a new technique for alveolar bone transport by distraction osteogenesis, using a Hyrax modified device by the principal author (OAV). Patients and methods:…
The purpose of this study was to compare the consolidation periods in ADO and to evaluate its effects on bone formation and implant success in severely resorbed edentulous mandibles. Patients…
Literature describes that congenital eye loss can be the most important reason of the microorbit. This development deficiency brings functional, physical and psychological consequences. I will present a new treatment…
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare two consolidation periods in alveolar distraction osteogenesis (ADO) and to evaluate their effects on success of bone formation, relapse and implants….
Aim: To study distraction osteogenesis of the posterior cranial vault in children requiring increased intracranial volume. Materials and methods: Ten patients were treated with cranial distractors. Five children had previously…
Reconstruction of large calvarial bone defects is considered as a one of the most difficult challenges in reconstructive surgery. Such reconstruction is usually performed for cosmetic reasons. However, in some…
Introduction: Craniofacial access required in the treatment of craniofacial pathology is typically achieved through a craniotomy or craniectomy. Depending on the extent of the resulting cranial defect there are cosmetic,…
