The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of new titanium miniplate design (Modified Champy) resistance against the mechanical forces in mandible angle fracture. Thirty fresh sheep hemimandibles…
Background: Mandibular modular endoprosthesis fixed with polymethylmethacrylate cement in the medullary space of the mandible to reconstruct segmental defects has been introduced in previous studies. However, device loosening and wound…
Objective: The objective of this study is to test the efficacy of the biodegradable mesh as an alternative fixation device to the titanium mesh for support of onlay particulate, bone…
Background and objectives: Incidence of atrophic edentulous mandibular fractures is less than 1% of facial fractures. The fixation system may be the only way to enhance the outcome of treatment….
How orthognathic surgery affects TMJ symptoms and dysfunction is controversial. Some authors state that orthognathic surgery alone helps to decrease TMJ symptoms, while others consider that this procedure can cause…
Complication after extraoral vertical and intraoral oblique osteotomy have been reported but not in a comprehensive manner. Although intuitively the profile of complications after Intraoral Vertical Ramus Osteotomy (IVRO) would…
Objectives: The objective of the current study is to quantify the postoperative 3D morphologic changes of condyles using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and evaluate the subsequent effects on skeletal…
Background: Traditionally, landmarks are used as reference to plan correction of facial asymmetry. However, there are errors associated with the landmarks and doubts exist as to whether the landmarks can…
Purpose: To illustrate the use of a method that has been developed to assess the facial bone symmetry in 3D using no landmark. Patients and methods: The program is based…
Aims: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted to determine the efficacy of high dose intravenous betamethasone on neurosensory disturbances, facial oedema and pain in bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO)….
