Abstract Autogenous bone graft represents the gold standard for mandibular reconstruction. The authors used a beagle mandibular defect model and reconstructed with iliac crest and ulna graft. Healing masseter entheses…
Abstract As a result of inadequate planning, poor judgment, or losing one’s orientation during surgery, implants may be placed in positions or at angulations that are less than ideal. The…
Abstract Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is used to treat or prevent tissue necrosis in patients undergoing irradiation. Many such patients require reconstructive surgery, but little is known of the effects…
Abstract This clinical study evaluated a new surface treatment of ion implantation with CO ions which has previously been subjected to extensive study in animal models. The aim of this…
Abstract Patients with atrophy of the maxillae, generally the elderly, are usually difficult to handle clinically, mainly due to the lack of retention, stability, and masticatory effectiveness of the total…
Abstract As with other techniques, vertical distraction osteogenesis (VDO) can also induce complications. The case of a patient with a residual alveolar ridge in the symphyseal area of 8 mm…
Abstract When using a stereolithographic surgical guide, a potentially clinically relevant error may be the mechanical error caused by the bur guide cylinder gap due to the presence of a…
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of changes in maxillomandibular positioning during cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging on the planning of dental implants. Ten…
Abstract The findings of intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma (FNS) using preoperative diagnostic tools, including ultrasonography (US)-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy, computed tomography (CT) scan, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), were…
Abstract Conventional total superficial parotidectomy (TP) has commonly been used, but partial superficial parotidectomy (PP) offers the possibility of better preserving glandular function and avoiding palsy of the facial nerves….
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the intranasal use of 1.5 μg/kg atomized dexmedetomidine for sedation in patients undergoing mandibular third molar removal. Eighteen patients underwent third…
Abstract Propranolol has been used successfully in a limited number of children with infantile hemangiomas (IHs). This study describes the efficacy and adverse effects of propranolol in IH. Seventy-one infants…
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of anesthesia obtained with a novel injection approach for inferior alveolar nerve block compared with the conventional injection approach. 40 patients in…
Abstract We report a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) in a reconstructed mandible. A 28-year-old woman underwent a segmental mandibulectomy due to a multicystic ameloblastoma in the left jaw. After…
Abstract In this study we investigated the relationships among the risk factors for inferior alveolar nerve injury (IANI), and the difference between preoperative imaging findings on panoramic radiographs and computed…
Abstract Sagittal split osteotomy may result in sensory impairment of the inferior alveolar nerve; altered sensation in the lower lip varies from patient to patient. We evaluated individual and intraoperative…
Abstract This was a double-blind randomized clinical trial to assess the effect of different pharmacological regimens on the level of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in urine and saliva, and to correlate…
Abstract Prediction of neurosensory deficit in the lower lip and chin after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) is challenging. This study aimed to elucidate factors related to the development and…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess our method of analytic model planning in achieving a planned maxillary advancement for the correction of a dentofacial deformity. A consecutive…
Abstract The motivation for orthognathic surgery is to improve facial appearance and quality of life. This study aimed to validate a three-dimensional (3D) orthognathic planning programme (Maxilim) for predicting soft…
