Soft tissue changes during distraction osteogenesis
Abstract This study aimed to investigate soft tissue changes in distraction osteogenesis depending on various distraction and consolidation periods. Fifteen male rabbits were divided into three groups and evaluated for…
Pattern of acquired neck masses in a Kenyan paediatric population
Abstract Acquired paediatric neck masses constitute a diagnostic challenge. Their pattern is important in formulating management protocol. Reports from developing countries including Kenya are scarce. This study describes the causes,…
FAP-1 and NF-κB expressions in oral squamous cell carcinoma as potential markers for chemo-radio sensitivity and prognosis
Abstract This study was designed to investigate the feasibility of using Fas-associated phosphatase-1 (FAP-1), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and p53 as markers for chemo-radio sensitivity in oral squamous cell…
Soft tissue response to mandibular advancement using 3D CBCT scanning
Abstract This prospective longitudinal study assessed the 3D soft tissue changes following mandibular advancement surgery. Cranial base registration was performed for superimposition of virtual models built from cone beam computed…
Comparative evaluation of 2.0-mm locking plate system vs2.0-mm nonlocking plate system for mandibular fracture: a prospective randomized study
Abstract This study evaluated the efficacy of a 2.0-mm locking plate/screw system compared with a 2.0-mm non-locking plate/screw system in mandibular fractures. A prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted. Patients…
Review of biomechanical models used in studying the biomechanics of reconstructed mandibles
Abstract This study looked at computer and physical biomodels used to study the biomechanical performance of mandibular reconstruction, reviews the literature and explains the strengths and limitations of the models….
A long-term comparative study of two rigid internal fixation techniques in terms of masticatory function and neurosensory disturbance after mandibular correction by bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy
Abstract Bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSO) is widely used to treat mandibular prognathism. Several methods have been described for fixation of the bony segments. This study compared two methods…
Is peripheral alcohol injection of value in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia? An analysis of 100 cases
Abstract This retrospective study assessed the effectiveness and complications of peripheral alcohol injections in the management of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). 100 patients were analyzed who received 250 peripheral alcohol injections…
Extraoral prostheses using extraoral implants
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate extraoral prostheses and the use of extraoral implants in patients with facial defects. 10 cases were treated utilizing maxillofacial prostheses employing…
