Abstract Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation can be classified into four groups (anterior, posterior, lateral, and superior) depending on the direction of displacement and the location of the condylar head. All…
Thank you for giving me an opportunity to respond to the concerns raised by the readers of my manuscript. Excision of coronoids undoubtedly is the procedure of choice, which in…
Abstract A foreign body lodged for decades in the parotid gland, entering through the oral cavity or the skin, is extremely rare. Even less common is the clinical presentation of…
Abstract Holoprosencephaly is a rare disorder of embryological development that presents with midline clefting of the lip. The incidence has been estimated at approximately 1 in 15,000. Previously, infants with…
Abstract Orthognathic surgery in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta is rare. Most cases result in a successful outcome with stable and good occlusion. Two patients with, probably severe types III and…
Abstract The objective was to evaluate the influence of dental metallic artefacts on implant sites using multislice and cone-beam computed tomography techniques. Ten dried human mandibles were scanned twice by…
Abstract Synovial cysts are lesions that usually occur on the wrist, foot and knee. They are rarely involved in the region of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), with only 10 cases…
Abstract Sagittal split osteotomy of the mandible is frequently used to correct dentofacial deformities. Postoperative facial palsy is one of the most serious complications because it reduces the quality of…
We would like to comment on the article: “Wedge subcoronoid ostectomy: an alternative to coronoidotomy. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2010;39(November (11)):1127–9, Prabhu S, et al . As our work…
Abstract Morphological changes in the lips during ageing, including labial volume, area and thickness were assessed in healthy individuals. 40 healthy volunteers (20 men and 20 women) were selected and…
Abstract Long-standing dislocation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is rare. The management of this disorder is still controversial. This paper presents the authors’ experience of managing long-standing dislocation of the…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new water lift system used as a surgical instrument in the crestal approach of the sinus membrane…
Abstract This prospective study evaluated the role of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the treatment of patients with impacted mandibular third molars at increased risk of inferior alveolar nerve…
Abstract Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a benign lesion with unpredictable biological behaviour ranging from a slow-growing asymptomatic swelling to an aggressive lesion associated with pain, bone and root…
Abstract Keratocystic odontogenic tumours (KOCTs) are common benign cystic tumours that arise sporadically or associated with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS). PTCH mutation can be found in sporadically or…
Abstract Prognosis for parotid carcinomas is not-well defined. The authors have developed models that could be useful to define subgroups of patients with differential risks. Clinical and pathological variables, and…
Abstract An efficient test for sensory function has been reported using random order pairs of real and sham stimuli. The constant magnitude of the real stimulus is chosen such that…
Abstract There are few studies on maxillomandibular skeletal alterations. Twenty-one patients with unilateral coronal craniosynostosis were analysed and compared with controls. Landmarks analysed were: sella-nasion-point A and B angles, point…
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare craniofacial morphology and soft tissue profiles in patients with complete bilateral cleft lip and palate at 9 years of age, treated…
