Background and objectives: The prevalence of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is about 4–6% in men and 2–4% in women. It has been calculated that mortality among people sick…
Background: Classical studies on sleep apnea population have stated a clear pattern of epidemiological, facial and oral characteristics of OSAS patients, that remain until today. Some of those features are…
Background and objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea is often associated with congenital craniofacial malformations due to hypoplastic mandible and decreased pharyngeal airway. The patients were treated using external or internal distraction…
Background: Sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by abnormal pauses in breathing during sleep due to an alteration in anatomy or function of upper airway. When the airway collapses during…
Introduction: Sleep apnoea syndrome is characterized by repeated collapse of the upper airway related to excessive snoring, morning fatigue and witnessed apnoeas. OSAHS affects 2–5% of the population. Continuous positive…
Background and objectives: Bimaxillary advancement of the upper and lower jaw is a successful surgical treatment for OSA that opens the airway at the base of the tongue. However, the…
Background and objectives: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate pharyngeal airway space (PAS) changes in patients who received mono or bimaxillary surgeries with bone displacement. Methods: A…
Background and objectives: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate pharyngeal airway space (PAS) changes in patients who received mono or bimaxillary surgeries. Methods: A cephalometric evaluation of…
Purpose: To explore the application of navigation guided oral and maxillofacial surgery. Methods: 104 patients including 34 ZMC fractures, 27 unilateral TMJ ankylosis, 29 craniofacial fibrous dysplasia, 9 mandibular angle…
Purpose: This study aimed at evaluating the accuracy of computer guided mandibular fracture reduction. Patients and method: Ten patients were included in this study. A preoperative radiographic assessment cone beam…
Background and objectives: The temporomandibular joint plays a very important role for the function of the mandible. The delicate and complex anatomy of TMJ area challenges for the reconstructive surgery…
Aim: Post-traumatic enophthalmos or distopia may be a sequella of orbital fractures after inaccurate restoration of orbital anatomy. The preoperative computer-assisted planning with virtual correction has been combined with intraoperative…
Background and objectives: The correction of post traumatic orbital and zygoma deformity is an hard challenge for maxillo-facial surgeons. The integration of different technologies such as software, surgical navigation and…
Background and objectives: According to the literature the gold standard for mandibular reconstruction of large defects is the fibula free flap. The use of virtual planning and 3D model has…
Background and objectives: One potential barrier to the wide adoption of SNB is a false negative rate of up to 13% which is likely to be due to the incorrect…
Introduction: One of the urgent tasks of the modern neurosurgery is to increase the quality of the surgical care for patients with posttraumatic defects and deformations of the orbit. The…
The application of navigational support is commonly accepted in CMF surgery for several indications. Still the use is limited to those medical centers that can effort the costs for a…
Remodelling of mandibular bony defects following fracture or reconstructive surgery is not well understood. Perilesional osteopenia (PO) has been described in regeneration of long bone fractures and is thought to…
Purpose: This preliminary animal study aim to evaluate the accuracy of navigation assisted distraction osteogenesis (DO) in goat’s mandible by TBNavis-CMFS navigation system. Materials and methods: A total of 6…
Background and objectives: Infantile haemangioma (IH) is the most common tumour of infancy with characteristic of rapid growth followed by a variable period of involution. The aim of this study…
