Abstract The palate is an alternative anchoring site for orthodontic implants and screws. The use of osseointegrated implants in the intermaxillary suture has recently been described as a fast, effective,…
Abstract The change in neurosensory lesions that develop after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) was explored, and the influence of the application of combination uridine triphosphate (UTP), cytidine monophosphate (CMP),…
Abstract Various composite free flaps are available for reconstruction of bony head and neck defects. The aim of this study was to compare the relative success of four different bony…
Abstract Median cleft lip refers to a vertical cleft on the midline of the upper lip. It is a rare congenital craniofacial anomaly brought about by a fusion failure in…
Abstract Cleft palate repair is done to allow for normal speech by separating the oral and nasal cavities and creating a functioning velopharyngeal valve. However, despite cleft palate repair, some…
Abstract The aim of this trial was to compare two techniques of maxillary dysjunction, with 10 mg/kg tranexamic acid as an adjuvant, in isolated non-segmented Le Fort I procedures. Two…
Abstract The reported prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis (SCS) varies due to inconsistent definitions of OSA, lack of uniform diagnostic testing, and different mixes…
Abstract Skull base tumours are rare, comprising less than 1% of all tumours of the head and neck. Surgical treatment of these tumours involves the approach, the resection, and the…

Abstract Only a few reports on the level of progression of extracapsular spread (ECS) have been published. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the level…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to estimate the width of free margin with a significant impact on local recurrence in surgical resection of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC)….
Abstract To assess facial form, one has to determine the size, position, orientation, shape, and symmetry of the different facial units. Many of these assessments require a frame of reference….
Abstract Computer-assisted surgical simulation is being used increasingly in orthognathic surgery. However, occlusal definition is still undertaken using model surgery with subsequent digitization via surface scanning or cone beam computed…
Abstract Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is usually initiated by dental surgery, but is occasionally exacerbated by other antiresorptive (denosumab) and anti-angiogenic therapies, and in such cases is currently…
Abstract The clinical efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for the reduction of pain, swelling, and trismus following the surgical extraction of third molars was evaluated. Mandibular third molars, with…
Abstract Following parotidectomy, patients develop retromandibular hollowing. A case series of patients for whom a free paraumbilical graft was used to reconstruct the parotid bed defect is presented here. This…
Abstract A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to answer the clinical question “Does the piezoelectric surgical technique produce fewer postoperative sequelae after lower third molar surgery than conventional rotary…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the diameter, location, and frequency of the appearance of the posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) in preoperative cone beam computed tomography…
