The aim of this retrospective study was to test the reproducibility of three-dimensional (3D) mandibular cephalometric analysis in patients with retromicrognathia (Pierre Robin syndrome) compared with normal group of paediatric…
Background and objectives : Several attempts were reported in the literature regarding the use of computer-assisted techniques in reconstruction of orbitozygomatic fractures. The costs of such techniques may limit their…
Purpose : Reconstruction of oromandibular defects remains one of the most formidable surgical challenges the reconstructive head and neck surgeon faces. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the…
Background and objectives : Individualised therapy of maxillofacial skeleton, especially orbital walls fractures becomes recently more and more popular. Possibility to 3D print a model of a mirrored intact orbit…
Background: Dentists should accompany referrals with good quality, suitably diagnostic radiographic imaging that enables the referral to be triaged effectively. This will minimise radiation exposure necessitated by repeat radiographs. The…
Background and objectives : Existence of foreign bodies in head and neck tissues may be caused by both injuries and incorrect medical treatment. There are many medical articles describing cases…
The treatment of transverse maxillary deficiency in skeletally mature individuals should include surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion. This study evaluated the distribution of stresses that affect the expander’s anchor teeth…
Background : Optimal functional and aesthetical mandibular reconstruction with free flaps remains a challenge. With the introduction of virtual treatment planning and CAD/CAM manufacturing in the last decade, a true…
Background : Oral dental rehabilitation after ablative surgery in head and neck cancer is demanding. Besides soft tissue deficiencies due to resection and scarring, bony reconstruction has an important impact…
Background and objectives : The reconstruction of TMJ after tumour resection is still challenging. It is because of complex anatomy and function of this region and imperfect reconstruction modalities. Nowadays…
Communication between the surgeon, the pathologist and the radiation oncologist is improved by a virtual model of the final resection combining 3D imaging with computer aided navigation. In this pilot…
Objectives : The foramen tympanicum or foramen of Huschke is a persistent anatomic variation of the temporal bone due to a defect in ossification normal bone physiology in neonatal or…
Background/Objectives : Microvascular fibular free flap reconstruction of the maxillofacial complex is a popular method to return form and function after traumatic and pathologic tissue ablation. We hypothesized that computer-assisted…
The zenith of medical knowledge and its systematic organisation in the ancient Greek-Roman world reached its pinnacle in Galen in the 2nd century AD. The decline that followed was accentuated…
Introduction : Autologous fat grafts have gained popularity among Cranio-Maxillofacial surgeons within the past years, since clinical works by Coleman and others, have shown that it is possible by careful…
Introduction : Poly- l -lactic acid is a synthetic material belonging to the family of α-hydroxyl acids, with several applications in medicine, ranging from nanomedicine to resorbable osteosynthesis material. As…
Purpose : Fat grafts have always represented a challenge in terms of inducing the necessary neoangiogenesis, which results in significant resorption. This study was designed to compare the efficiency of…
Facial feminization surgery encompasses a series of surgical techniques derived from Plastic and Craniomaxillofacial Surgery, the objective of which is to soften the facial features that are generally perceived as…
Introduction : Following parotidectomy patients develop progressive significant facial defect. Such defects have traditionally been corrected by sternocleidomastoid, temperoparietal fascial, SMAS flaps and fascia lata flaps. These flaps are not…
Temporalis Muscle flap was reported to be first used in 1898 by Golovine in the reconstruction of exenterated orbit. Since, it has been used in a variety of application for…
