Ganglion cyst of the temporomandibular joint
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,…

Response to transcaruncular medial canthopexy with wire and miniplate revisited
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…

Abstract The purpose of this study was to establish the role of retaining the condyle and disc in the treatment of type III ankylosis, by clinical and computed tomography (CT)…
Biometric parameters of the temporomandibular joint and association with disc displacement and pain: a magnetic resonance imaging study
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between biometric parameters of the components of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), articular disc displacement, and TMJ pain. Magnetic resonance…
Botulinum toxin injection for management of temporomandibular joint clicking
Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection in the lateral pterygoid (LP) muscle on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) clicking….
TMD before and after correction of dentofacial deformities by orthodontic and orthognathic treatment
Abstract The aims of the study were to investigate the alteration of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) after correction of dentofacial deformities by orthodontic treatment in conjunction with orthognathic surgery; and to…
Evaluation of fracture healing and subimplant bone response following fixation with a locking miniplate and screw system for mandibular angle fractures in a sheep model
Abstract This study aims to establish a mandible fracture model, and to review fracture healing following fixation with a locking miniplate system. Eighteen 2-year-old sheep were divided into three groups…
Decreased postoperative pain after reduction of fractured nasal bones using a nerve block of the anterior ethmoidal nerve
Abstract There is consensus that all patients should experience minimal pain following reduction of a fractured nasal bone. The issue requiring further study is what technique will provide patients with…
Effect of the number of screws on the stability of locking mandibular reconstruction plates
Abstract Atrophic mandible fractures are frequently a challenge to stabilize. This study evaluated, through mechanical testing in vitro , the number of locking screws that is sufficient to withstand loading…
Merkel cell carcinoma of the upper eyelid: presentation and management
Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and potentially aggressive neuroendocrine tumour. The authors describe a unique presentation of a 4.5 cm wide MCC of the upper lid in…
Mandibular coronoid fractures: Treatment options
