Pierre Robin sequence is a pathology derived from alterations in the first and second branchial arches. Patients have breathing problems due to micrognathia and glossoptosis, causing severe upper airway obstruction…
There are medical and surgical treatments for the management of the obstructive sleep apnea patients. The gold standard of the medical treatments is the use of the positive pressure therapy…
Obstructive sleep apnea may pose serious health problems due to its adverse effects. Those risks related to obstructive sleep apnea that may be encountered have an impact on the quality…
The pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea is poorly defined, but in most patients it is thought to be related to maximal relaxation of the upper airway during rapid eye movement…
In the past, computer assisted surgery (CAS) had been introduced for precise orbital reconstruction. Beside this, CAD/CAM procedures found the way into the production of individual prefabricated titanium implants. However,…
The medical and surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) involves understanding a number of parameters starting with the diagnosis. Medical treatment typically includes CPAP, sleep hygiene, weight loss…
Introduction: The anatomic reconstruction of extensive orbital injuries remains a challenge for the cranio-maxillofacial surgeon. New standardized 3D titanium mesh orbital implants (Synthes, USA) have been developed to facilitate orbital…
The installation of fixtures for prosthetic reconstruction in maxillofacial surgery in patients with bone and soft tissue defects is still a challenge. Until now, computer-assisted preoperative planning and surgery has…
Human kind receives more than 90% of its environmental informations by the visual sense. Consequently, acquiring visual informations by imaging procedures has gained increasing importance in medical diagnostics or therapy….
Liquid nitrogen cryosurgery, boiling at −196 °C, has been shown to be an effective physicochemical treatment to decrease the recurrence rate of aggressive odontogenic lesions. Following enucleation and curettage of…
