Modified tragus edge approach for mid-level or low condylar fractures
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate and report a modified tragus edge approach (MTEA) for surgical access to mid-level or low condylar fractures. The MTEA was used…
An aesthetic approach in the repair of anterior frontal sinus fractures
Abstract The management of upper facial trauma is a common responsibility of surgeons taking care of maxillofacial injuries. Historically, the most commonly used surgical approach has been the bi-temporal (coronal)…
Can customized implants correct enophthalmos and delayed diplopia in post-traumatic orbital deformities? A volumetric analysis
Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine whether orbital reconstruction with customized implants can correct post-traumatic orbital deformities such as late enophthalmos and delayed diplopia. The hypothesis proposed…
Efficacy of three-dimensional visualization in mobile apps for patient education regarding orthognathic surgery
Abstract ‘Sur-face’ is an interactive mobile app illustrating different orthognathic surgeries and their potential complications. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Sur-face by comparing two methods of delivering…
A multi-centre retrospective study of mandibular fractures: do occlusal support and the mandibular third molar affect mandibular angle and condylar fractures?
Abstract This retrospective study was performed to investigate the influence of occlusal support and the presence, state, and position of mandibular third molars on the incidence of mandibular angle and…
Long-term changes in mandibular and facial widths after mandibular setback surgery using intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy
Abstract This study was performed to evaluate the long-term changes in mandibular width, lower facial width, and ramus angulation after intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) and to identify the factors…
Minimally invasive corticotomy in orthodontics using a three-dimensional printed CAD/CAM surgical guide
Abstract The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative, minimally invasive, flapless corticotomy procedure in orthodontics. The STROBE guidelines were followed. Ten patients with…
Factors influencing intraoperative blood loss in orthognathic surgery
Abstract This retrospective study aimed to identify factors of importance for intraoperative blood loss relative to total blood volume in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery. The study included 356 patients treated…
Comparison of time required for traditional versus virtual orthognathic surgery treatment planning
Abstract Virtual surgical planning (VSP) is a tool for predicting complex surgical movements in three dimensions and it may reduce preoperative laboratory time. A prospective study to compare the time…
Three-dimensional virtual simulation of alar width changes following bimaxillary osteotomies
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) soft tissue simulation of nose width changes following bimaxillary osteotomies and to identify patient- and surgery-related…
