Abstract The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and the patients’ subjective symptomatology between surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) with midpalatal split and SARME without midpalatal…
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the relationships among bone properties, bone metabolic markers, and types of jaw deformity. The subjects were 55 female patients with jaw…
Abstract The use of maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) screws in orthognathic surgery has become common in recent years. The risk of injury to adjacent roots with their placement in this population…
Abstract An unfavourable and unanticipated pattern of the bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) is generally referred to as a ‘bad split’. Patient factors predictive of a bad split reported in…
Abstract Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a versatile material and is used increasingly for the correction of facial deformity. We have used bespoke implants with an interlocking mechanism to add stability and…
Abstract Fibula free flaps are used widely in head and neck reconstruction, primarily for their versatility and contribution to aesthetic and functional outcomes. The literature suggests that early complications such…
Abstract The current study was undertaken to evaluate a novel approach to tongue and mouth floor reconstruction using the myofascial vastus lateralis free flap (MVLF). The surgical techniques, benefits, complication…
Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of the unilateral single-barrel vascularized fibula bone graft (VFBG) for the restoration of mandibular defects. Eighty-one dry mandibles and…
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the vascular anatomy of the distal forearm in order to optimize the choice between the radial forearm free flap and the…
Abstract There is no reliable method to assess tumour thickness preoperatively or intraoperatively in cases of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate…
Abstract For cT1/2N0 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), treatment of the neck is a matter of debate. Two treatment strategies were evaluated in this study: selective neck dissection (SND) and…
Abstract Ewing sarcoma (ES) of the jaw bones comprises a small fraction of ES at all sites. Due to their rarity, a specific policy for local treatment is lacking. The…
Abstract The aim of this study was to provide reference information for implantology and chin bone harvesting in people of Han Chinese ethnicity by studying the mandibular incisive canal (MIC)…
In January 2015, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a drug safety communication warning related to the use of bone graft substitutes containing recombinant proteins or synthetic peptides…
Abstract In this study, the mutual fusion of chondrocyte pellets was promoted in order to produce large-sized tissue-engineered cartilage with a three-dimensional (3D) shape. Five pellets of human auricular chondrocytes…
Abstract The microbial aetiology of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) remains undefined. This study investigated the oral microbiota and socket healing after zoledronic acid (ZA) and dexamethasone (DX) administration….
Abstract The prevention of osteoradionecrosis of the jaws (ORNJ) is very important because of the current absence of effective therapies for this disease. The aim of this study was to…
Abstract The objective was to trial the use of the Integra skin regeneration system intraorally to promote healing of an intraoral defect in osteoradionecrosis (ORN), thereby avoiding the necessity for…
Abstract After a sinus lifting procedure, the compartment around the implants under the sinus mucosal lining in the sinus floor is filled with a blood clot from surrounding bleeding. The…
Abstract This retrospective study aimed to investigate the recurrence rate of keratocystic odontogenic tumours (KCOTs) treated by enucleation and the application of Carnoy’s solution, and to assess the surgical morbidities…
