Abstract This systematic review assessed the efficacy of chlorhexidine for the prevention of alveolar osteitis and occurrence of adverse reactions. Databases were searched until 20 April 2011. Trial inclusion criteria…
Abstract This retrospective study evaluated variables associated with length of stay (LOS) in hospital for 406 admissions of primary cleft lip and palate and alveolus surgery between January 2007 and…
Abstract A wide body of evidence shows that patients with clefts exhibit decreased growth in their early years. Less evidence regarding their growth trajectory, specifically their body mass indices (BMIs),…
Abstract Isolated fusion of the sagittal suture is usually treated before 1 year of age, but some patients present at a later age. The aim of this study was to…
Abstract Internal jugular vein thrombosis is rare. It is often secondary to prolonged central venous cannulation and associated with local or distant malignancy. The authors present a case of intra-operative…
Abstract Computed tomography is currently the standard in preoperative evaluation of facial fractures, but cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) or digital volume tomography (DVT) offers potential advantages. Intraoperative imaging may…
Abstract A 73-year-old man presented with a painful swelling of the left temporomandibular joint with no other symptoms. Panoramic radiography showed an osteolytic lesion in the left mandibular body, while…
Abstract Traditional medial canthopexy techniques require transnasal access, periorbital skin incision, and/or direct canthal suturing, often yielding unpredictable outcomes. The transcaruncular canthal barb and miniplate technique is a simplified method…
Abstract The University of Washington Quality of Life (UW-QOL) questionnaire is often used to assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of head and neck cancer patients. The aim of this…
Abstract The Na+/H+ exchanger 1 (NHE1) plays a significant role in acidifying the tumour microenvironment, potentially contributing to the tumour’s malignant potential. The mechanism by which NHE1 mediates cell invasion…
Abstract Local recurrence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) after primary surgery has been considered to be a poor prognostic entity in terms of survival rate. The purpose of this…
Abstract Frontal sinus fractures are common fractures in high-energetic trauma. Different treatments options are available for different types of frontal sinus fractures. A fracture that consists only of the anterior…
Abstract Enophthalmos is corrected mostly through reducing the enlarged orbit volume by identifying intact bone edges and spanning the defect with an implant or autogenous graft. Predicting the amount of…
Abstract Self-drilling mini-implants are being used more frequently as an orthodontic anchorage, but the placement torque of self-drilling mini-implants can easily become excessive in the thick, mandibular cortical bone. The…
Abstract This systematic review examined the literature for evidence of dental root damage after contact with intermaxillary screws (IMS). Electronic databases, including the Cochrane Library, Ovid, Scirus, Scopus and Virtual…
Abstract The purpose of this study is to evaluate coronoidectomy, masticatory myotomy and buccal fat pad graft in advanced (Stage III–IV) oral sub mucous fibrosis (OSF). 10 patients with clinically…
Abstract This systematic review was performed to investigate the usefulness and clinical effectiveness of skeletal anchorage devices to determine the most effective bone anchor system for orthodontic tooth movement. Literature…
Abstract The use of buccal fat pad in the management of osteoradionecrosis has not been described previously. A series of 10 consecutive cases of osteoradionecrosis treated with a combination of…
Abstract Platelet-rich plasma is a concentrate of growth factors and osteoconductive proteins, which can play a major role in bone biology by accelerating and enhancing bone repair and regeneration. This…
Abstract The purpose of the current retrospective chart review is to describe the outcomes of conservative or surgical treatment of stage 2 bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ). 14 charts…
