Background and objectives : Existence of foreign bodies in head and neck tissues may be caused by both injuries and incorrect medical treatment. There are many medical articles describing cases…
The treatment of transverse maxillary deficiency in skeletally mature individuals should include surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion. This study evaluated the distribution of stresses that affect the expander’s anchor teeth…
Background : Optimal functional and aesthetical mandibular reconstruction with free flaps remains a challenge. With the introduction of virtual treatment planning and CAD/CAM manufacturing in the last decade, a true…
Background and objectives : The reconstruction of TMJ after tumour resection is still challenging. It is because of complex anatomy and function of this region and imperfect reconstruction modalities. Nowadays…
Background : Oral dental rehabilitation after ablative surgery in head and neck cancer is demanding. Besides soft tissue deficiencies due to resection and scarring, bony reconstruction has an important impact…
Communication between the surgeon, the pathologist and the radiation oncologist is improved by a virtual model of the final resection combining 3D imaging with computer aided navigation. In this pilot…
Objectives : The foramen tympanicum or foramen of Huschke is a persistent anatomic variation of the temporal bone due to a defect in ossification normal bone physiology in neonatal or…
Background/Objectives : Microvascular fibular free flap reconstruction of the maxillofacial complex is a popular method to return form and function after traumatic and pathologic tissue ablation. We hypothesized that computer-assisted…
