Abstract This review was performed to validate the clinical efficacy of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) for plastic periodontal and implant surgery. Four electronic databases and a manual search were utilized…
Abstract The combined resection of skull-infiltrating tumours and immediate cranioplastic reconstruction predominantly relies on freehand-moulded solutions. Techniques that enable this procedure to be performed easily in routine clinical practice would…
Abstract The intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) is a useful technique for mandibular setback surgery. However, there is a tendency for lateral flaring of the proximal segments on the non-deviation…
Abstract Dental rehabilitation after surgically acquired bone deficiency related to tumour treatment remains a challenge. The insertion of patient-specific implants geared to the contour of the remaining bone is a…
Abstract The objective was to describe the utility of the chimeric posterior tibial artery flap (CPTAF) in the restoration of compound defects in the oral and maxillofacial region. Patients who…
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine whether the islanded facial artery myomucosal flap (iFAMM) is a good alternative to fasciocutaneous free flaps (FCFF) in the reconstruction of…
Abstract Segmental mandibular defects require reconstruction. The fibula flap serves as a versatile flap in restoring mandibular contour and bony height. With the advances in computer-aided design and additive manufacturing…
Abstract Tissue biopsy with histopathological examination is still considered the gold standard to diagnose oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). This systematic review explored the diagnostic test accuracy of two salivary…
Abstract The objectives of this study were to evaluate survival in 141 patients with stage II–IV oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) treated with preoperative intra-arterial chemotherapy with docetaxel, cisplatin, and…
Graphical abstract Abstract Objective Maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) is commonly used to increase the alveolar bone height in the posterior maxilla before implant placement. In the present study, we…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Peel bond strength between 3D printed tray materials and elastomers was studied. • The tray materials showed good chemical compatibility with the elastomer adhesives. • 3D…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Direct laser metal sintering (DLMS) 3D printing conditions were optimized for medical-grade Ti-6Al-4V powders. • The inner defect amount and mechanical properties varied depending on the…
Abstract Objective To investigate the clinical behavior of two different resin-based restorative systems in extended Class II cavities in a controlled prospective split-mouth study over 12 years and to assess…
Highlights • Similar primary zirconia properties by speed-sintering as conventional sintering. • Speed-sintering 3Y-TZP decreased its translucency but not that of 5Y-PSZ. • Speed-sintering lowered the mechanical reliability of 3Y-TZP…
Abstract Objective To investigate the clinical behavior of two different resin-based restorative systems in extended Class II cavities in a controlled prospective split-mouth study over 12 years and to assess…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Direct laser metal sintering (DLMS) 3D printing conditions were optimized for medical-grade Ti-6Al-4V powders. • The inner defect amount and mechanical properties varied depending on the…
Abstract Objective Agglomeration is a common problem facing the preparation and application of nanomaterials, and whether nano-hydroxyapatite (nano HA) can modulate oral microecology left to be unclear. In this study,…
Highlights • The composite filaments were successfully developed via melt-blending technique. • AMP-PEEK filaments can serve as feedstock for 3D printing of patient-specific implants. • The bioactivity of the composites…
Highlights • The clinical procedure to adhesively lute ceramic restorations is complex, by which a simplified application procedure is desirable. • Silane-coupling monomers degrade in water; hydrolysis is avoided when…
Abstract Objectives Tetrahydrofurfuryl-methacrylate (THFM) and hydroxypropyl-methacrylate (HPM) were used to partially or fully replace HEMA in experimental RMGICs. The experimental materials were compared with home and commercial products in terms…
