Modification of the bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) in a study using pig mandibles
Abstract In a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) mechanical irritation of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) (e.g. by chiselling) should be avoided to prevent neural damage. A modification of the…
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and oral lichen planus: a rare occurrence
Abstract Oral lichen planus (OLP) is frequently associated with hepatitis C virus infection but uncommonly with other causes of liver disorder. The authors report the case of a 41-year-old male…
Transmucosal fixation of the fractured edentulous mandible
