Objective: The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the accuracy of repositioning of the maxilla during orthognathic surgery using Le Fort I osteotomy. Patients and methods: Forty-two patients…
The purpose of this study was evaluation of postoperative counterclockwise relapse of mandible after mandibular setback surgery depending on the amount of intraoperative rotational changes of the proximal segment 30…
The segmentation of the Le Fort I osteotomy is a surgical technique used for the correction of vertical and horizontal discrepancies. However one of its limitations is the presence of…
Background and objectives: Heinrich Kole first introduced the corticotomy procedure to accelerate tooth movements, Epker and others modified the technique but corticotomy surgery has gained little acceptance in the modern…
Background and objectives: Airway management in the craniomaxillofacial trauma surgery may require some modifications of the standard intubation techniques. Submental endotracheal intubation may serve as an effective and safe alternative…
Purpose: We present a surgical technique for maxillary auto-bone grafting complementary and simultaneously to Le Fort I orthognathic surgery that was used on 123 patients. This graft has two main…
Background and objectives: Traditional orthognathic treatment comprises a variable length of presurgical orthodontics, surgery itself and a relatively constant period of postoperative orthodontics. Alternatively, the so-called ‘surgery first’ (SF) approach…
Background and objectives: New technologies allow maxillary 3-D repositioning, however, the maxillary widening stability is unpredictable, with severe intermolar contraction post-surgically. We believe the key in maxillary widening stability is…
Dentofacial deformities (DFD) can be defined as defects in the growth and development of facial bones, mainly the upper and lower jaws. It may affect the function or development of…
Maxillary transversal deficiency is characterized by unilateral or bilateral posterior cross-bite, crammed and rotated teeth, and narrow palate, and its treatment is surgically assisted maxillary expansion for adult patients. This…
