Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate, via a computed tomography, the direction and magnitude of the segmental tilting that may occur after SARME in patients having transverse maxillary deficiency. Patients…
Intraoral vertico-sagittal ramus osteotomy is a suitable osteotomy for correction of mandibular prognathism and small retrognathism, associated with predictable results. Although few complications have been described when this technique is…
Objective: Developed an objective, stable horizontal reference plane that was not affected by craniofacial deformities or bad posture to serve as a foundation for determining head position during cephalometric analysis….
Ever since orthognathic surgery became common for correcting severe skeletal disharmonies, studies of the stability of such corrections have been thorough and on-going. But how much has the temporomandibular joint…
The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the long-term skeletal and dental stability in patients who underwent maxillo-mandibular counter-clockwise rotation and mandibular advancement, comparing two different methods for…
Introduction: We present a comparative study of advantages and disadvantages of using a custom system designed osteosynthesis with CAD–CAM technology in large maxillomandibular advances. Methods: We present 8 cases of…
The objective of this study was to assess these geometrical changes of the condyle and lower incisors following a unilateral sagittal split osteotomy. A long-term clinical study of patients who…
The movements of the upper jaw and the lower jaw could be predicted by model surgery in classic procedure of the treatment of asymmetric dental facial deformity. However, it is…
Condylar hyperplasia (CH) is a complex deformity affecting the condyle and the mandible. The resulting Facial asymmetry has a diverse presentation. We present patients with various degrees of asymmetry and…
Objective: In this prospective comparative study, we looked at the postoperative dental and skeletal relapses in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery for skeletal class III deformity. The surgical interventions were single-jaw…
Background and objectives: Orbital floor fractures are a common result of orbital injury. These fractures can vary in size from small cracks to large defects. Fractures of the orbital floor…
Background: Type I Neurofibromatosis (NFI) is a dominant autosomal disease with a current incidence of 1 in 3000 births. Plexiform Neurofibromas (PN) are congenital tumours which present aesthetic and functional…
Trauma from road traffic accidents and interpersonal violence provide for at least 50% of any maxillofacial Surgeons in Kenya. High speed motor vehicle accidents are common due to the recently…
Aim: Describe and evaluate the incidence of orbital haematomas following a surgical orbital procedures. Method: Clinical presentation, treatment and outcome were collected after 280 orbital surgical procedures. Results: Three cases…
Background: Silent sinus syndrome (SSS) is a rare clinical entity of maxillary antral collapse secondary to hypoventilation leading to orbital deformation and enopthalmos. Objectives: To present the variety in presentation…
Introduction: Despite being different clinical entities, ectropion and entropion present similar pathogenesis and can be treated based in common principles. Lateral Tarsal Strip Technique (LTS) is a simple procedure to…
Background and objectives: Orbital tumours can be approached in several ways, but the orbital rims are often an obstacle to the surgeon’s direct visualization and access, especially if the lesion…
This is a case report of Iatrogenic pseudo-superior orbital fissure syndrome after use of oxidized regenerated cellulose ‘surgicel (Johnson & Johnson)’ in orbital reconstruction surgery. As unexpected temporarily effect of…
Background: Nucleostemin (NS) has been reported essential for maintenance of normal and cancer stem cell properties. However, the impacts of NS on malignant phenotype of OSCC and prognosis of patients…
Background and objectives: TNM classification and grading describe tumourbiological parameters of the oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) only incompletely. In solid malignancies the influence of immunological parameters on invasiveness, metastatic…
