Introduction: Cranioplasty can be executed with different materials. Autologous bone is known as the gold standard. When this is not available alloplastic materials are used like PMMA and titanium. PMMA…
Background and aim: In the 19th century McNeil (prosthodontist) used an oral prosthesis to approximate the cleft alveolar segments and thus initiating the concept of modern presurgical infant orthopedics. More…
Background: Dentofacial-deformities are traditionally treated by maxillary and mandibular osteotomies conducted separately or simultaneously. Recently, distraction osteogenesis (DO) has become an irreplaceable part of the surgical armamentarium. Our aim is…
Background and objectives: The main goal of the study was evaluation of efficiency and benefits of endoscopically assisted intraoral approach in treatment of patients with mandibular condylar fractures. All patients…
Background: This study introduces a new surgical approach for open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular condyle fractures using a modified transparotid approach via the parotid incision, and surgical outcomes…
Background and objectives: Literature reveals many approaches for the ORIF of mandibular condyle and the difference in opinion regarding open and closed reduction of condylar fracture. The objective of study…
Resorbable pins have been advocated for open reduction and internal fixation of dicapitular condylar fractures because they do not need to be removed should the fixation fail, or if the…
We present the first long-term data of osteosynthesis of condylar head fractures using 1.7 mm small fragment screws via a retroauricular approach. Functional and anatomic parameters regarding loss of vertical…
Introduction: Surgical treatment of mandibular condyle fracture can offer functionally stable osteosynthesis, which enables early rehabilitation. However, there are few studies on this topic. Aim: The aim of the present…
Background and Objectives: Injuries to the mandible often result in mandibular condylar fractures. Various approaches have been advocated for accessing the mandibular condyle. The aim of this paper is to…
