Objectives: The objective of the current study is to quantify the postoperative 3D morphologic changes of condyles using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and evaluate the subsequent effects on skeletal…
Background: Traditionally, landmarks are used as reference to plan correction of facial asymmetry. However, there are errors associated with the landmarks and doubts exist as to whether the landmarks can…
Purpose: To illustrate the use of a method that has been developed to assess the facial bone symmetry in 3D using no landmark. Patients and methods: The program is based…
Aims: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted to determine the efficacy of high dose intravenous betamethasone on neurosensory disturbances, facial oedema and pain in bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO)….
The use of resorbable plates and screws in fixation of osteotomies in orthognathic surgeries has increased considerably due to advantages of this kind of material, compared to titanium. However, the…
Assessing patient outcomes guides our surgical practice. In order to determine our performance as an orthognathic service, our standardised survey was used to explore the patient’s motivations, expectations and experience…
Background and objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness and clinical performance of biodegradable osteosynthesis versus titanium osteosynthesis in maxillofacial surgery. Methods: This RCT was performed…
Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion consists of a surgical liberation of the sites of resistance combined using orthopaedic forces. Most technical descriptions advocate the use of general anaesthesia with hospital…
Background: This study evaluates the volumetric dimensional changes in the upper airway level of the nasopharynx and oropharynx and the stability of the tongue and hyoid bone after Lefort I…
Background and objectives: The purpose is to present and validate a new and innovative ‘surface to Cone-beam CT (CBCT)’ registration method to obtain a 3D virtual augmented model (AUM) of…
Background and objectives: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the potential of 3D image acquisition by means of the CBCT triple scan protocol to calculate 3D virtual mandibular…
Introduction: Distraction osteogenesis has become a mainstream surgical technique for patients with jaw deformities. It is a reliable method of correction with low relapse compared to conventional Osteotomies. Both hard…
Background and objectives: The orbital region is a significant aesthetic unit contributing to the facial aesthetics. There should be no sclera exposed either above or below the irises in neutral…
Background and objectives: Improvement of facial aesthetics is one of the main reasons for orthognathic surgery. In respect of aesthetics and also the assignment of personality traits skeletal dysgnathia patients…
Alar base widening and nasal tip upward movement are undesirable soft tissue changes taken place after maxillary orthognathic surgery. With the use of piezoelectric device (PED), maxillary anterior alveolar osteotomy…
Aims: To quantify dentofacial deformity as defined by clinical examination and cephalometric meaurements. To compare those opting for surgical and conservative treatment. To identify parameters that significantly correlate with treatment…
Introduction: The aim of the present paper is to access the aesthetic facial profile and outcome with orthognathic surgical procedures. The artistic aspect of orthognathic surgery has been developing for…
Aim of the study: Is to show the possibilities of correction deformities with surgical treatment, without pre-orthodontic treatment. Materials and methods: We have analyzed 103 patients operated in the Clinic…
Introduction: Dentofacial deformity affects the facial aesthetic which requires a combination of Orthodontics and Orthognathic surgery. The physical and psychosocial impact of deformity can profoundly affect the quality of life…
Background: Post-operative reported complications in orthognathic surgery are mainly local. General complications are scarce and usually respiratory. Objectives: To report three cases of orthognathic surgery patients, who developed extremely unusual…
