Abstract The aims of this study were to evaluate volumetric changes in the nasal cavity (NC) and pharyngeal airway space (PAS) after Le Fort I maxillary distraction osteogenesis (MDO) using…
Abstract Streak artefacts caused by dental metals deteriorate the quality of computed tomography (CT) images. We developed and evaluated a method for generating three-dimensional virtual models to plan orthognathic surgery…
Abstract Aqua Titan (AT), comprising microscopic titanium particles dispersed in water, has been reported to have beneficial effects on muscle tissue. This study investigated the effects of local application of…
Abstract A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to assess the clinical outcomes of the following four methods for the management of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis: gap arthroplasty (GA), interpositional…
Abstract In this technical note we share our experience of mandibular midline distraction, a powerful tool in orthognathic surgery. The use of a tooth-borne distractor and a minimally invasive surgical…
Abstract For total rhinectomy defects, the decision to proceed with a prosthetic versus surgical reconstruction is multifactorial, taking into account patient risk factors, availability of donor tissues, the need for…
Abstract The purpose of this article is to present our approach to the reconstruction of head and neck defects using the superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap with the…
Abstract Extreme variation in the reported incidence of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) disturbances suggests that neurosensory disturbances after orthognathic surgery have not been evaluated adequately. Here we review the reported…
Abstract The influence of dose reductions on diagnostic quality using a series of high-resolution ultralow-dose computed tomography (CT) scans for computer-assisted planning and surgery including the most recent iterative reconstruction…
Abstract In Mexico, there have been few studies on primary oral and sinonasal melanoma, an aggressive neoplasm with a low survival rate and few therapeutic alternatives. Further, there is limited…
Abstract The timing of orbital reconstruction is a determinative factor with respect to the incidence of potential postoperative orbital complications. In orbital trauma surgery, a general distinction is made between…
The Publisher regrets that an error occurred when processing Fig. 2 of the above article. Fig. 2 should have been reproduced colour in print as well as colour online. Readers…
We read with interest the article by Rajan et al. reporting five cases of transoral gap arthroplasty. We would like to address some major setbacks of this procedure that may…
The authors wish to advise that Mrs. Laura Flohr made a significant contribution to the manuscript and should have been listed as a co-author. The authors regret her omission in…
We read with interest the queries raised by the authors regarding our article “Gap arthroplasty of temporomandibular joint ankylosis by transoral access: a case series”. Although they refer to “major…
We read with interest the recently published paper by Ma et al. in which they reported the use of transpalatal screw traction for sagittal fractures of the palate and maxilla….
We thank the readers very much for their interest in our paper entitled “Transpalatal screw traction: a simple technique for the management of sagittal fractures of the maxilla and palate”,…
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the capacity of human dental follicle cells (hDFCs) for bone formation in vivo. hDFCs were obtained from wisdom teeth extracted from…
Abstract This study evaluated the effect of a modified Hyrax device and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on osteogenic periosteal distraction (OPD). Twelve adult male New Zealand white rabbits were separated into…
Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effects of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) associated or not with Bio-Oss on bone defects in the calvaria of rats. A critical-size defect of 5-mm…
