Overview: In the modern world it is becoming more actual surgical treatment of patients with dentofacial anomalies, consisting in carrying out one-stage orthognathic surgery and rhinoseptoplasty. In this case, preoperative…
Several non-grafting and bone-grafting implant protocols have been reported in the literature, however implant treatment in severe maxillary bone atrophy remains a challenge. Objectives: This clinical report describes clinically and…
Purpose: To answer whether severe vertical alveolar defects can be resolved using the sandwich osteotomy technique with xenograft material as filler, and to evaluate the predictability of the this procedure….
Background and objectives: Resorption of the alveolar bone creates anatomically less favorable foundation for ideal implant placement. Many different predictable ARR techniques have been developed and autogenous bone is still…
Background and objectives: The aim of this study is to report our experience with three cases of this rare complication, review the literature, and propose a special surgical management based…
Background and objectives: Iliac crest grafts to augment the maxilla are associated with considerable pain complaints. Therefore, we decided to investigate calvarial bone grafting to augment the maxilla. Methods: In…
Background: Surgical reconstruction of vertically atrophied ridges can be performed with onlay bone grafts or guided bone regeneration with membranes or meshes. Another option is by elevating a segmental osteotomy…
Background: Calvarial bone harvesting remains a controversial technique because of its potential complications described in the literature. The aim of this study is to report the early (immediate) and late…
Introduction: Nonvascularized iliac bone grafting is one of the treatment options for mandibular reconstruction. Although nonvascularized bone graft has the advantage of not requiring microsurgery, it does not offer sufficient…
Background and objectives: A Stickler Syndrome patient with a surgically repaired cleft palate was referred to Facial Cleft Deformity Clinic after he received previously repeated velopharyngeal flaps and still had…
The objective of this prospective study is to evaluate by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) the short-term volume shrinkage rate of autogenous corticocancellous bone blocks harvested from anterior ilium for…
Background: Alveolar cleft bone grafting is an important procedure for rehabilitation of patients with cleft lip and palate which allows the reconstruction of the maxilla, support of teeth and implant…
Background and objectives: Since the origin of facial reconstruction, rehabilitation of the midface appears as one of the most challenging for Maxillofacial surgeons. In fact, it combines both aesthetic and…
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyse and compare stess distrubiton on bone screws and plate systems in locking and non-locking screw–plates design with two different size of…
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of new titanium miniplate design (Modified Champy) resistance against the mechanical forces in mandible angle fracture. Thirty fresh sheep hemimandibles…
Background: Mandibular modular endoprosthesis fixed with polymethylmethacrylate cement in the medullary space of the mandible to reconstruct segmental defects has been introduced in previous studies. However, device loosening and wound…
Objective: The objective of this study is to test the efficacy of the biodegradable mesh as an alternative fixation device to the titanium mesh for support of onlay particulate, bone…
Background and objectives: Incidence of atrophic edentulous mandibular fractures is less than 1% of facial fractures. The fixation system may be the only way to enhance the outcome of treatment….
How orthognathic surgery affects TMJ symptoms and dysfunction is controversial. Some authors state that orthognathic surgery alone helps to decrease TMJ symptoms, while others consider that this procedure can cause…
Complication after extraoral vertical and intraoral oblique osteotomy have been reported but not in a comprehensive manner. Although intuitively the profile of complications after Intraoral Vertical Ramus Osteotomy (IVRO) would…
