Abstract Osteoid osteoma is a rare benign osseous neoplasm which rarely affects the jaws. It is more common in long bones which can lead to postural scoliosis. The clinical characteristic…
Abstract An ultrasound-guided intralesional photocoagulation (ILP) technique using a laser is described for treatment of deep venous malformations in the oral cavity. ILP is basically a blind operation and has…
Abstract Amyloidosis is a heterogeneous group of disorders caused by the extracellular deposition of a fibrillar protein called amyloid. Amyloid involvement of the tongue is almost universally secondary to systemic…
Abstract This study describes the epidemiology and clinical presentation of odontogenic tumours (OT) seen at a regional Brazilian oral and maxillofacial pathology service; to assess the quantitative impact of the…
Abstract The aim of the present study was to assess the clinical relevance of the potential mechanical error (intrinsic error) caused by the cylinder-burr gap in a ‘single type’ stereolithographic…
Abstract This study investigated the effects of bone stiffness (elastic modulus) and three-dimensional (3D) bone-to-implant contact ratio (BIC%) on the primary stabilities of dental implants using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and…
Abstract The gold standard of bone augmentation for dental implants in severe alveolar bone atrophy is autogenous bone graft, but it has disadvantages such as limited amounts of grafted bone,…
Abstract This study evaluates bone quality in sinus augmented with autogenous bone with or without platelet rich plasma (PRP) mix. 15 partially edentulous patients requiring maxillary sinus floor augmentation, followed…
Abstract This study evaluated the efficacy of implant supported dental restorations in patients with chronic periodontal diseases at various stages within 2 years of completing treatment. 30 patients with periodontal…
Abstract Congenital Frey’s syndrome and bilateral trifid mandibular condyle are two different entities. The occurrence of both together is rare and has not been reported in the literature. This article…
Abstract This study investigated the effects of in vitro chondrogenic differentiated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on cartilage and subchondral cancellous bone in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA). Four weeks after induction…
Abstract When clinically significant impingements of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) exist, simple introduction of an arthroscope into the superior compartment can be difficult. Bone mass and volume of lateral fossa,…
Abstract The role of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery is ill-defined, so a universal classification is needed to collate the evidence required to justify the surgical interventions undertaken to treat TMJ…
Abstract Finite element analysis of dynamic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) loading reveals a predominance of localization of loading laterally towards the collateral ligament regions and disc/capsule attachments to the mandibular condyle….
Abstract Recent literature from general and orthopaedic surgery as well as anaesthetic viewpoints has identified that operations performed outside normal work hours pose potential risks for both patients and healthcare…
Abstract Knowledge of the precise location of anatomical landmarks such as the anterior (AEC) and posterior ethmoid (PEC) canals facilitates medial orbital wall surgery and is of major importance for…
Abstract The American Society of Anesthesiologists difficult airway algorithm identifies two acceptable emergency surgical airways in the ‘cannot intubate, cannot ventilate’ scenario: cricothyrotomy and tracheotomy. Little has been published regarding…
Abstract Elimination of cosmetic deformity of lower lip pits and lower lip protrusion is the most common indication for lower lip repair in Van der Woude syndrome. 34 patients with…
Abstract Beckwith Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a rare, congenital overgrowth disorder that is characterized by macroglossia, anterior abdominal wall defects, visceromegaly, gigantism, and neonatal hypoglycaemia. Macroglossia may contribute to anterior…
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the pharyngeal flap procedure on the frequency of Le Fort I osteotomies in full-grown nonsyndromic cleft patients. A…
