Abstract The sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) is a surgical technique used widely to treat many congenital and acquired mandibular discrepancies. Stabilization of the osteotomy site and the potential for…
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on new bone formation obtained by distraction osteogenesis in the early consolidation period. Ten…
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the postoperative changes in masticatory function in patients with jaw deformities with or without asymmetry treated by orthognathic surgery. Thirty female patients who underwent…
Abstract Secondary bone grafting from the iliac crest is the gold standard in the reconstruction of maxillary alveolar bone defects in cleft patients. Numerous techniques for this graft have been…
Abstract A novel technique to reduce donor site morbidity after radial forearm free flap (RFFF) harvest, using a local full-thickness skin graft (FTSG), is described. Thirty consecutive patients undergoing RFFF…
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate stomatognathic performance after mandibulectomy. Twenty-six subjects were classified into two groups: the mandibular continuity (MC) group were reconstructed and kept in…
Abstract A systematic review on complications in all forms of mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) for acquired deformities was performed. Search terms expressing distraction osteogenesis were used in ‘AND’ combination with…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to sequentially evaluate bone union of fibular grafts in mandibular reconstruction. Patients who underwent routine follow-up computed tomography (CT) and panoramic X-ray imaging…
Abstract This retrospective study evaluated the presence, location, and diameter of the mandibular lingual canals in a Taiwanese population using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), to help improve the safety…
Abstract This prospective study aimed to provide detailed clinical information on a sinus augmentation procedure, i.e., transcrestal sinus floor elevation with a bone block using the press-fit technique. A bone…
