Abstract A method of producing a composite model consisting of a three-dimensional printed mandible bearing plaster teeth is presented. Printed models were obtained from cone beam computed tomograms (CBCT) of…
Abstract The objective of this study was to identify the mechanism by which mandibular condyle chondrocytes regulate the extracellular matrix. Primary rabbit condylar chondrocytes were isolated, cultured, and treated with…
Abstract Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation is an involuntary forward movement of the mandible beyond the articular eminence with the condyle remaining stuck in the anterior-most position, leaving the patient unable…
Abstract Many surgical techniques for the management of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis have been described in the literature. The purpose of this study was to report our experience using a…
Abstract There may be significant variation amongst oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMFS) in the identification and placement of cephalometric landmarks for orthognathic surgery, and this could impact upon the surgical…
Abstract Teratomas are congenital malformations that are rarely located in the head and neck region. We report a case of congenital teratoma of the oral cavity, which was causing an…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether skeletal and dental outcomes following Le Fort I surgery differed when stabilization was performed with polylactate bioresorbable devices or titanium…
Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the objective and subjective morbidity after reconstruction of alveolar bone defects with mandibular symphyseal bone grafts in patients with cleft lip…
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of femoral nerve block with indwelling catheter-based multiple infiltrations of bupivacaine for postoperative pain management after iliac bone harvesting….
Abstract This study aimed to describe the clinical features and surgical management of fibrous hyperplasia involving the orifice of Stensen’s duct. The clinical data of three patients (one male and…
Abstract Frey syndrome (FS) is a commonly documented postoperative complication following parotidectomy. The aim of this study was to clinically evaluate the efficacy of superficial temporal fascia (STF) as interpositioning…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to review the clinical, radiological, and histopathological profile of unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) in children using data from available case reports and reviews published…
Abstract The mandibular swing approach is a surgical approach for the resection of malignant lesions localized in the posterior oral cavity and oropharynx. We analyzed 15 years of experience with…
