Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between biometric parameters of the components of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), articular disc displacement, and TMJ pain. Magnetic resonance…
Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection in the lateral pterygoid (LP) muscle on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) clicking….
Abstract The aims of the study were to investigate the alteration of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) after correction of dentofacial deformities by orthodontic treatment in conjunction with orthognathic surgery; and to…
Abstract This study aims to establish a mandible fracture model, and to review fracture healing following fixation with a locking miniplate system. Eighteen 2-year-old sheep were divided into three groups…
Abstract There is consensus that all patients should experience minimal pain following reduction of a fractured nasal bone. The issue requiring further study is what technique will provide patients with…
Abstract Atrophic mandible fractures are frequently a challenge to stabilize. This study evaluated, through mechanical testing in vitro , the number of locking screws that is sufficient to withstand loading…
Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and potentially aggressive neuroendocrine tumour. The authors describe a unique presentation of a 4.5 cm wide MCC of the upper lid in…
Abstract Fractures of the coronoid process are uncommon and can easily be missed. The purpose of this study was to classify the fracture patterns and explore the treatment options. This…
Abstract The aim of the present study was to retrospectively review the treatment outcome of low subcondylar temporomandibular joint fractures. The retrospective analysis was performed on all patients treated for…
Abstract Angiosarcoma and its epithelioid variant are vascular malignancies that rarely affect the facial skeleton. Epithelioid angiosarcoma resembles carcinoma and can be difficult to diagnose. A case is presented of…
Abstract Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon dermal soft tissue tumour of intermediate malignancy. A 44-year-old man presented to the hospital with a large lesion on the right upper chest…
Abstract This study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of using broadband white light (BWL) to observe morphologic appearance, narrow-band imaging (NBI) to observe intraepithelial microvasculature, and both BWL and…
Abstract Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) is a rare tumour, with different prevalence rates reported among studies. Epidemiological studies of large series of CXPAs in developing countries are scarce. The…
Abstract Autogenous bone graft represents the gold standard for mandibular reconstruction. The authors used a beagle mandibular defect model and reconstructed with iliac crest and ulna graft. Healing masseter entheses…
Abstract As a result of inadequate planning, poor judgment, or losing one’s orientation during surgery, implants may be placed in positions or at angulations that are less than ideal. The…
Abstract Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is used to treat or prevent tissue necrosis in patients undergoing irradiation. Many such patients require reconstructive surgery, but little is known of the effects…
Abstract This clinical study evaluated a new surface treatment of ion implantation with CO ions which has previously been subjected to extensive study in animal models. The aim of this…
Abstract Patients with atrophy of the maxillae, generally the elderly, are usually difficult to handle clinically, mainly due to the lack of retention, stability, and masticatory effectiveness of the total…
Abstract As with other techniques, vertical distraction osteogenesis (VDO) can also induce complications. The case of a patient with a residual alveolar ridge in the symphyseal area of 8 mm…
Abstract When using a stereolithographic surgical guide, a potentially clinically relevant error may be the mechanical error caused by the bur guide cylinder gap due to the presence of a…
