Abstract The results of endoscope-assisted parotid surgery are presented as a minimally invasive alternative to parotidectomy for large parotid stones. From 1999 to 2007, 70 patients with parotid sialoliths were…
Abstract This retrospective study evaluated the epidemiology, treatment and complications of mandibular fracture associated, or not associated, with other facial fractures, when the influence of the surgeon’s skill and preference…
Abstract Careful choice of anesthetic agents in pediatric patients reduces the frequency of anesthesia-related complications. The frequency and type of intraoperative and postoperative complications of sevoflurane–fentanyl versus midazolam–fentanyl anesthesia were…
Abstract This article presents an interesting case of osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle with multiple projections in a 42-year-old man. Owing to the large size of the lesion, surgical condylectomy…
Abstract The authors describe the novel use of a selective laser sintering (SLS) machine, commonly used in the aerospace industry, to produce an accurate model of an orbital blowout fracture….
Abstract Extra-canalicular variations of the inferior alveolar nerve are exceedingly rare and unreported. The authors report an unusual presentation of the inferior alveolar nerve perforating the ramus of the mandible…
Abstract The authors report the case of a 35-year-old Arab man who presented with unilateral facial nerve palsy in the presence of an infected lower third molar. The paralysis occurred…
The Authors would like to draw your attention to the fact that on p. 1329 of their article the section relating to Author queries was published in error and does…
Abstract Total mandibulectomy was carried out in 32 patients with extensive oro-facial lesions histologically diagnosed as ameloblastoma in four specialist centres in south-eastern Nigeria from January 2001 to December 2006….
Abstract The authors have reported that a scaffold constructed of synthetic octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and porcine atelocollagen sponge (OCP/Col) enhanced bone regeneration more than sintered β-tricalcium phosphate collagen composite or…
Abstract Previously, an in vitro cellular carcinogenesis model of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) was established with a line of human immortalized oral epithelial cells (HIOECs), a line of cancerous…
Abstract The primary stability of implants should be high on insertion into fresh extraction sockets. Torque-fitting and resonance frequency analyses (RFA) are used to assess primary implant anchorage and stability….
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether measurements on conventional cephalometric radiographs are comparable with 3D measurements on 3D models of human skulls, derived from cone beam…
Abstract The aim of this paper is to evaluate the clinical, radiographic, and histopathological findings and treatment modalities in all cases of ameloblastomas treated at the Sao Paulo Cancer Hospital,…
Abstract The most common benign tumour of the parotid is pleomorphic adenoma (PA). Some studies have shown that limited surgery to manage these types of tumours is viable option. Extra-capsular…
Abstract This study compared craniofacial morphology between three groups of children with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate, treated with different surgical protocols. The study included 66 10-year-old children (42…
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate and compare changes in the nasomaxillary complex substructures following orthopaedic rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and surgically assisted RME (SARME). 10 patients…
Abstract Previous retrospective analyses prove that impacted mandibular third molars (M3s) increase the risk of angle fractures and decrease the risk of concomitant fractures to the condyle. The authors have…
Abstract Almost 50% of patients with Apert, Crouzon or Pfeiffer syndrome develop obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), mainly due to midface hypoplasia. Midface advancement is often the treatment of choice, but…
Abstract The use of prophylactic antibiotics to reduce postoperative complications in third molar surgery remains controversial. The study was a prospective, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. 100 patients were…
