Abstract A limited number of clinical studies indicate the supportive role of low level laser therapy (LLLT) on medical and/or surgical approaches carried out in treatment modalities for bisphosphonate related…
Dr. Kalmar’s Letter to the Editor makes several incorrect assertions and misleading remarks as follows: 1. Dr. Kalmar criticizes our microscopic interpretations yet uses references that actually support it. Particularly,…
The current manuscript attempts to compare and contrast the microscopic features from jaw lesions of patients with suppurative osteomyelitis, bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis of the jaws (BIONJ) and osteoradionecrosis (ORN). The authors,…
Dear Editor, We read with great interest the article entitled ‘Suppurative osteomyelitis, bisphosphonate induced osteonecrosis, osteoradionecrosis: a blinded histopathologic comparison and its implications for the mechanism of each disease’ published…
Abstract Salivary fistula after a traumatic injury in the buccal region is not common. It is most commonly encountered in injuries involving the pre auricular region or soft tissues along…

Abstract Salivary gland small cell carcinoma is a rare neoplasm, accounting for less than 1% of salivary gland tumours. Little is known about the epidemiologic factors and treatment of this…
Abstract Defining the ideal material for frontal sinus obliteration remains controversial. Autogenous cancellous bone is effective because of its biological properties: it undergoes fast revascularization acting as an active scaffold…
Abstract This study investigated short- and long-term postoperative skeletal changes following intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) for mandibular prognathism, as determined from lateral cephalograms. The subjects were 20 patients with…
