The use of resorbable plates and screws in fixation of osteotomies in orthognathic surgeries has increased considerably due to advantages of this kind of material, compared to titanium. However, the…
Assessing patient outcomes guides our surgical practice. In order to determine our performance as an orthognathic service, our standardised survey was used to explore the patient’s motivations, expectations and experience…
Background and objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness and clinical performance of biodegradable osteosynthesis versus titanium osteosynthesis in maxillofacial surgery. Methods: This RCT was performed…
Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion consists of a surgical liberation of the sites of resistance combined using orthopaedic forces. Most technical descriptions advocate the use of general anaesthesia with hospital…

Background and objectives: The purpose is to present and validate a new and innovative ‘surface to Cone-beam CT (CBCT)’ registration method to obtain a 3D virtual augmented model (AUM) of…
Background and objectives: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the potential of 3D image acquisition by means of the CBCT triple scan protocol to calculate 3D virtual mandibular…
Introduction: Distraction osteogenesis has become a mainstream surgical technique for patients with jaw deformities. It is a reliable method of correction with low relapse compared to conventional Osteotomies. Both hard…
Background and objectives: The orbital region is a significant aesthetic unit contributing to the facial aesthetics. There should be no sclera exposed either above or below the irises in neutral…
Background and objectives: Improvement of facial aesthetics is one of the main reasons for orthognathic surgery. In respect of aesthetics and also the assignment of personality traits skeletal dysgnathia patients…
