Abstract This study constituted a comparative assessment of the mechanical resistance of square and rectangular 2.0-mm system three-dimensional miniplates as compared to the standard configuration using two straight miniplates. 90…
Abstract The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the mechanical resistance of a 2.0-mm titanium system applied to the mandibular angle, either with or without continuity of…
Abstract Fractures of the mandible are common. However, the correlation between the severity of the fracture and the recovery of any associated inferior dental (ID) nerve injury is still poorly…
Abstract There are few studies reporting the role of the pedicled pectoralis major (PPM) flap in modern maxillofacial practice. The outcomes of 100 patients (102 flaps) managed between 1996 and…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of second salvage surgery with extended vertical lower trapezius island myocutaneous flap (TIMF) reconstruction for patients with re-recurrent oral…
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the histopathological grade of malignancy in a series of lower lip squamous cell carcinomas (LLSCCs) using three histopathological grading systems (invasive…
Abstract Tongue strength is reduced in patients treated with chemoradiotherapy for oral/oropharyngeal cancer. Tongue strengthening protocols have resulted in improved lingual strength and swallowing in healthy individuals, as well as…
Head and neck cancer is on the increase, with oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) comprising 25–40% of all oral carcinoma. Despite the progress made in cancer management and the…
Abstract Many studies have assessed the effects of either low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on bone repair; however, an evaluation of the combination of these modalities…
Abstract The titanium mandibular modular endoprosthesis fixed with polymethylmethacrylate cement in the medullary space of the mandible has been introduced in previous studies. However, the internal parts of these devices…
