Abstract For more than a decade, peri-implant tissues have been treated with soft tissue lasers to create a bloodless flap for implant placement and to uncover implants with minimal bleeding,…
We read with interest the case report on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation by Baur et al. We believe that a surgical intervention is one of the options for the long-term…
We thank the readers for their interest and comments regarding our recent work. The total intubation time was significantly longer in our study than in previous studies. We believe that…
The recent article by Dong and colleagues, comparing lightwand-guided and blind nasotracheal intubations in oromaxillofacial surgery patients with anticipated difficult airways, was of great interest. The study showed that lightwand-guided…
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the three-dimensional (3D) imaging accuracy between a digital stereophotogrammetry device and a projection moiré profilometry setup using anatomical models in conjunction…
Abstract The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of saline mouth rinse on postoperative complications following routine dental extractions. Patients aged ≥16 years, who were referred…
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic ozone application in the management of pain, swelling, and trismus associated with the surgical removal of impacted…
Abstract Due to their anatomical position, the surgical removal of impacted third molars results in oedema, pain, and trismus. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of…
Abstract Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a rare metaplastic disease of the larger joints. It is rarely observed in smaller joints, especially in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This disease is considered…
Abstract Treatment outcomes of implant-retained lower dentures on two endosseous implants placed in severely atrophied mandibles after reconstruction with iliac crest onlay grafts were assessed in a retrospective observational study….
Abstract Bone resorption following tooth loss often interferes with dental implant placement in a desired position, and requires additional bone augmentation procedures. Many techniques have been described to augment and…
Abstract Alloplastic total temporomandibular joint replacement (TMJ TJR) has been performed in New Zealand utilizing the TMJ Concepts patient-fitted system since 2000. The data analysed in this study were collected…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of ultrasonography (USG) for the evaluation of bone formation in the mandibular distraction wound and to compare this with…
Abstract Transverse maxillary deficiency is commonly found in patients with sleep apnea and is also related to abnormal breathing patterns. Maxillary expansion procedures promote widening of the nasal floor and…
Abstract This study involved a retrospective evaluation of patients subjected to surgery for dentofacial deformities treated without induced controlled hypotension (group I, n = 50) and a prospective evaluation of…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to compare the efficiency of bimaxillary orthognathic surgery using computer-aided surgical simulation (CASS), with cases planned using traditional methods. Total doctor time was…
Abstract This study constituted a comparative assessment of the mechanical resistance of square and rectangular 2.0-mm system three-dimensional miniplates as compared to the standard configuration using two straight miniplates. 90…
Abstract The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the mechanical resistance of a 2.0-mm titanium system applied to the mandibular angle, either with or without continuity of…
Abstract Fractures of the mandible are common. However, the correlation between the severity of the fracture and the recovery of any associated inferior dental (ID) nerve injury is still poorly…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of second salvage surgery with extended vertical lower trapezius island myocutaneous flap (TIMF) reconstruction for patients with re-recurrent oral…
