Abstract Over the past 5 years, Iraq has witnessed daily terrorist attacks mainly using improvised explosive devices. The aim of this study was to analyze the patterns of maxillofacial injuries…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate how patients with maxillofacial defects evaluate their quality of life after maxillectomy and prosthodontic therapy with obturator prostheses. 43 patients were…
Abstract 40 patients with chronic polyarthritis were investigated prospectively. The TMJ was investigated to detect clicking, crepitation, and pain. High resolution ultrasound (HR-US) assessed destructive changes, effusion, and disc dislocation….
Abstract Debate continues regarding unilateral or bilateral treatment for mandibular condylar fractures. This retrospective study evaluates the functional outcomes of bilateral condylar process fractures after surgical intervention. From May 1994…
Abstract The treatment of midfacial fractures depends on the dislocation of the fracture and patient-related limitations. Surgical treatment risks iatrogenic complications. In 740 patients with midfacial fractures, the age, sex,…
Abstract This study tests computer imaging software (SurgiCase-CMF ® , Materialise) that enables surgeons to perform virtual orthognathic surgical planning using a three dimensional (3D) utility that previews the final…
Abstract Early temporomandibular joint (TMJ) prostheses articulated on material with poor wear resistance. Wear debris was deposited in the surrounding tissues, causing severe foreign body cell reactions. Recent TMJ prostheses…
Abstract Bone scan analyses and clinical assessment are used to diagnose unilateral condylar hyperactivity (UCH). This review compares the diagnostic accuracy of planar and SPECT bone scans. Studies diagnosing patients…
Abstract This literature review assessed the risk factors linked to inferior dental nerve (IDN) and lingual nerve (LN) deficits following lower wisdom tooth surgery. A computer search of several databases…
Dear Editor, We read with interest the article of M eng et al. regarding the use of a temporary titanium screw for fixation and alignment of sagittal mandibular condylar fractures….
Cyanoacrylate adhesives for fixation of xenografts S. Saska, É. T. Rossi, N. Conte Neto, S. F. Souza, M. A. C. Gabrielli, E. Hochuli-Vieira Rev Cir Traumatol Buco-Maxilo-fac 2009: 9: 93–102…
Abstract A rare case of unifocal oromandibular dystonia of the temporalis muscle is presented. It was treated with surgical myotomy when initial botulinum toxin A therapy failed after 3 years…
Abstract A 10-year-old female patient with a fibula transplant in her left hemimandible due to ameloblastoma treatment was referred for combined orthodontic and surgical planning and treatment to observe and…
Abstract Maxillary sinus floor elevation in cases of reduced vertical bone height in the posterior maxilla allows predictable implant placement. The osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE) technique has shorter healing…
Abstract It is rare for foreign bodies to be found in the parapharyngeal space due to the protection of the mandibular ramus and zygomatic bone. The authors describe a rare…
Abstract This report demonstrates the clinical use of a modified, truly anatomic, root-analogue zirconia implant for immediate replacement of a two-rooted, left first mandibular molar. A 50-year-old female patient with…
Abstract The authors present a method of gaining access to the temporomandibular joint that improves visibility and surgical access. It should reduce operating times and improve results. New methods of…
Abstract This study investigated the biomechanical effects of crestal bone osteoplasty and flattening procedures carried out in edentulous knife-edge ridges to restore bone width before implant placement on the virtually…
