Abstract Ganglion cysts are benign soft tissue tumours occurring in or near joints such as the wrist, foot or knee. They are rarely encountered in the region of the temporomandibular…
Response to transcaruncular medial canthopexy with wire and miniplate revisited
We thank the authors for their comments and pointing out the omission of Wittkampf and Mourits from our bibliography. Similar techniques have been described. We agree that with such techniques,…

We thank the authors for pointing out the addition of Wittkampf and Mourits to the bibliography. We cited a paper that demonstrated a similar concept. We agree that co-morbidities associated…
Inferior alveolar nerve lateralization: a dual technique
We read the article ‘Rehabilitation of edentulous posterior atrophic mandible: inferior alveolar nerve lateralization by piezotome and immediate implant placement’ by Fernández Díaz & Naval Gías with great interest, and…
Effect of setback Le Fort I osteotomy on midfacial soft-tissue changes as evaluated by cone-beam computed tomography superimposition for cases of skeletal Class III malocclusion
Abstract This study employed the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) superimposition method to evaluate postoperative midfacial soft-tissue changes in cases of skeletal Class III malocclusion after double-jaw surgery with setback and…
Transcaruncular medial canthopexy with wire and miniplate revisited
We read with interest the article of Engelstad et al., describing their technique using a transcaruncular canthal barb and miniplate. A similar simplified method for medial canthopexia was reported 11…
