With regard to the letter of Tong and Shan, we agree about the potential for plate exposure through the skin. Nonetheless this event has not occurred to date, with the…
Having a special interest in bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), we came across the paper by Biglioli and Pedrazzoli. First of all, we would like to express our gratitude…
We appreciate the interest and comments on our paper by Chisci et al. The points highlighted in the letter seek an explanation for gender-, physiological-, and environmental-dependent variations in oxidative…
We read with great interest the paper by Gülnahar et al. regarding oxidative stress (OS) after third molar surgery, as measured with heat shock protein 70 (HSP70). We would like…
We read the article by Stembirek et al. with great interest. The authors present a suitable hypermobility model in pigs that could also be used for subsequent research, which is…
Abstract During cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning, intra-oral metallic objects may produce streak artefacts, which impair the occlusal surface of the teeth. This study aimed to determine the accuracy…
Abstract The aim of this study was to display the lingual artery superimposed on the anatomical image and to confirm its course and relation to the adjacent structures, noninvasively. Nineteen…
Abstract Clinically, bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis (BRON) only occurs in the jaw (BRONJ). We aimed to determine differences between the jaw and other bones, as well as the relationship between periodontal pathogens…
Abstract Bisphosphonate (BP)-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a serious and challenging complication of chronic BP uptake in patients with osteoporosis who require management of skeletal-related events. The efficiency…
Abstract The conventional treatment of odontogenic cysts usually involves enucleation of the cyst using rotary and manual instruments; such procedures can cause trauma to the cystic epithelium or soft tissues…
Abstract Plunging ranulas arise when a simple ranula extends beyond the floor of the mouth into the neck. Diagnosis is difficult even with modern imaging techniques as they mimic other…
Abstract In this study we investigated the changes in the sensitivity of cutaneous points and the oral mucosa that occur after intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO). Additionally, postoperative changes in…
Abstract The aim of this prospective clinical study was to evaluate the short-term and long-term skeletal and dental changes after mandibular osteodistraction with tooth-borne appliances in adult orthodontic patients. The…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in the volume and most restricted cross-sectional area of the pharyngeal airway as a result of mandibular advancement surgery with…
Abstract The condition of the maxillary sinus is not routinely assessed before a Le Fort I osteotomy. Performing this procedure in an infected sinus might account for a considerable proportion…
Abstract In hemifacial microsomia, patients with severely hypoplastic mandibles (Pruzansky type III) require replacement of the ramus and condyle unit. Common complications of this procedure include graft fracture and overgrowth…
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of navigation-guided en bloc tumour resection and defect reconstruction in the treatment of craniomaxillary bony tumours. Three patients with…
Abstract There is increasing evidence that dietary folic acid deficiency in utero may increase the risk of developing the ‘cleft lip with or without cleft palate’ (CL ± P) variant…
Abstract The use of composite radial free tissue transfer has been overtaken by other composite flaps. This is due to donor site morbidity and the poor volume of bone yielded….
Abstract The objective was to review and compare outcomes after tongue–lip adhesion (TLA) and mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) in infants with severe breathing difficulties related to Pierre Robin sequence (PRS)….
