Abstract After sagittal split osteotomy, the mandibular distal and proximal fragments do not always align themselves passively to one another, resulting in bony interferences and subsequent anomalous settlement of the…
Abstract The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate grafting in the osteotomy gap during bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO), using a xenograft and fibrin glue. Hard tissue defects…
Abstract The use of three-dimensional (3D) optical instruments to measure soft tissue facial characteristics is increasing, but systematic assessments of their reliability, practical use in research and clinics, outcome measurements,…
Abstract Various surgical techniques have been developed for oro-antral fistula (OAF) closure, all of which have some drawback. Twenty consecutive patients with an OAF were enrolled in this prospective study….
Abstract This review was performed to validate the clinical efficacy of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) for plastic periodontal and implant surgery. Four electronic databases and a manual search were utilized…
Abstract The combined resection of skull-infiltrating tumours and immediate cranioplastic reconstruction predominantly relies on freehand-moulded solutions. Techniques that enable this procedure to be performed easily in routine clinical practice would…
Abstract The intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) is a useful technique for mandibular setback surgery. However, there is a tendency for lateral flaring of the proximal segments on the non-deviation…
Abstract Dental rehabilitation after surgically acquired bone deficiency related to tumour treatment remains a challenge. The insertion of patient-specific implants geared to the contour of the remaining bone is a…
Abstract The objective was to describe the utility of the chimeric posterior tibial artery flap (CPTAF) in the restoration of compound defects in the oral and maxillofacial region. Patients who…
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine whether the islanded facial artery myomucosal flap (iFAMM) is a good alternative to fasciocutaneous free flaps (FCFF) in the reconstruction of…
Abstract Segmental mandibular defects require reconstruction. The fibula flap serves as a versatile flap in restoring mandibular contour and bony height. With the advances in computer-aided design and additive manufacturing…
Abstract Tissue biopsy with histopathological examination is still considered the gold standard to diagnose oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). This systematic review explored the diagnostic test accuracy of two salivary…
Abstract The objectives of this study were to evaluate survival in 141 patients with stage II–IV oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) treated with preoperative intra-arterial chemotherapy with docetaxel, cisplatin, and…
Abstract Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a highly aggressive, B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that is rare outside Africa. We report a case of HIV-associated BL originating in the right maxillary…
Abstract The treatment of obstructive sleep apnea includes multiple soft and hard tissue surgeries with the gold standard being orthognathic surgery. In this paper we describe a novel method of…
Abstract Background Heterotopic neuroglial tissue is defined as a mass composed of mature brain tissue isolated from the cranial cavity or spinal canal. The nose and the naso-pharynx are the…
Abstract Angioleiomyoma which was initially classified as vascular leiomyoma has been reclassified as a tumor of perivascular origin with its etiology still being uncertain. It is a rare entity to…
Abstract Median cleft of the lower lip & mandible (Tessier no. 30 facial cleft) is an uncommon condition. This cleft varies in severity, in mildest form it may present as…
Abstract Hybrid ameloblastoma comprising desmoplastic and solid type ameloblastoma with classic follicular or plexiform pattern is a known unusual variant. Ameloblastoma, including the hybrid type, is a slow growing tumor,…
Abstract Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas encountered in paediatric patients. Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS), a variant of RMS, is observed in more than 70% of…
