Abstract The mechanisms of relief from persistent pain after temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery are not well studied. It was hypothesized that if persistent pain is relieved by TMJ surgery, up-regulated…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess the number of alloplastic total temporomandibular joint replacement (TMJ TJR) devices implanted and the complications encountered by members of the American…
Abstract The aim of the present study was to determine which prosthesis has resulted in the best outcomes after total temporomandibular joint replacement (TMJR). A comprehensive electronic search was undertaken…
Abstract Orthognathic surgery is indicated for the treatment of significant skeletal malocclusion and is normally prepared using conventional face bows combined with two-dimensional cephalometric analysis and manually made splints. With…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to elucidate the long-term skeletal and dental stability after combined orthodontic and orthognathic surgical treatment of mandibular prognathism with the intraoral vertical ramus…
Abstract While grafting with bone substitutes has been shown to provide greater stability in maxillary advancements, infection remains a concern with any material that is placed in close proximity to…
Abstract Wide resection of recurrent basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in the peri-orbital–infraorbital–nasal area may include periosteum resection with maxillary or nasal bone exposure. The absence of vascularized periosteum makes the…
Abstract Mandibular fractures in the neonate are rare. The aetiological factors are traumatic delivery, accidental fall, road traffic accidents, and attempted infanticide. The diagnosis is difficult due to facial oedema…
Abstract The principle of axial compression for better adaptation of fracture segments, with the advantage of increased stability and early function, is a promising means of avoiding the bulky rigid…
Abstract Factors associated with the diagnosis, aetiology, and treatment of mandibular fractures occurring during the postoperative period following the removal of a lower third molar are discussed. The following databases…
