Abstract Although the precise prediction of the results before distraction is important, performing three-dimensional (3D) simulations for all distraction osteogenesis patients is not practical. Formulating general guidelines based on the…
Abstract This study evaluated the effectiveness of silk fibroin materials for wound repair confined to the buccal mucosa in a rat model by assessing several key clinical parameters and the…
Abstract The immunohistochemical characteristics of wound healing following application of a biphasic calcium phosphate or a collagen coated natural bone combined with a native collagen membrane in a dog model…
Abstract Implant placement in an anterior atrophic mandible is not an uncommon procedure. Fracture secondary to such implant placement is a rare complication. The authors discuss a case referred to…
Abstract In recent years, cell transplantation has become a focus of attention and reliable outcomes have been achieved in regeneration of the sciatic nerve. The effect of undifferentiated bone marrow…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the root apex of the upper incisors and neighbouring anatomical structures as well as the morphology of the…
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the clinical results of pedicled buccal fat pad flap (PBFPF) with the standard buccal flap in the closure of oro-antral fistula…
Abstract This study compared the biocompatibility in vitro and the osseointegration in vivo of zirconium and titanium implants regarding implant surfaces and the bone–implant contacts. The different implant surfaces and…
Abstract This study describes the management of 216 patients with post-traumatic iatrogenic lingual nerve injuries (LNIs; n = 93) and inferior alveolar nerve injuries (IANI; n = 123). At initial…
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare velopharyngeal closure between patients who underwent Furlow palatoplasty and two-flap palatoplasty. A retrospective review of 88 patients with incomplete palate cleft…
Abstract Upper airway obstruction (UAO) is a well known complication of cleft palate repair. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of local tongue base steroid injection…
Abstract One-step transport disc distraction osteogenesis (TDDO) is an effective method for the restoration of mandibular defects. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of double-step TDDO in the reconstruction…
Abstract The pattern of congenital oral and craniofacial anomalies (CFAs) in the Kenyan population remains unknown. The objective of this study was to describe the pattern of occurrence of CFAs…
Abstract The aim of this research was to determine the pathologic invasion of the carotid sheath (CS) when found grossly uninvolved during surgery, in patients undergoing neck dissection for head…
Abstract This study describes a new microvascular flap combination from the medial femur and ear to reconstruct the nose after subtotal resection and presents the first clinical results. In four…
The use of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) in orthodontics has increased over recent years. One type of TAD, a modification of the titanium miniplate frequently used in orthognathic surgery for…
Abstract Adult head and neck soft tissue sarcomas are rare and display a variety of histological types and clinical characteristics; they are also associated with a variety of mortality risks….
Abstract This study evaluated soft tissue changes in adult patients treated with distraction osteogenesis (DOG) of the anterior mandibular alveolar process and related it to different parameters. 33 patients (27…
Abstract A previous report from the authors’ department showed that a modified alar cinch suture combined with a muco-musculo-periosteal V-Y closure (mACVY) improves nasolabial mobility. To test if the improvements…
Abstract 33 patients (27 females; 6 males) were retrospectively analysed for skeletal and dental relapse before distraction osteogenesis (DOG) of the mandibular anterior alveolar process at T1 (17.0 days), after…
