The treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is a challenging problem. An excellent review paper that highlights recent developments, with a specific focus on graft materials for condylar reconstruction, has…
Abstract The most appropriate management for the lesion now known as the keratocystic odontogenic tumour (previously known as the odontogenic keratocyst) remains controversial. This article reviews the different management protocols…
We believe that the interpretation of the discussion on bone regeneration around dental implants inserted immediately after maxillary sinus lift without the addition of bone substitutes is important. The development…
We read the article by Bassi et al. entitled “Maxillary sinus lift without grafting, and simultaneous implant placement: a prospective clinical study with a 51-month follow-up” with great interest. The…
Abstract The objective of this study was to improve the accuracy of diagnosis of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury by determining degrees of nerve disturbance using the sensory nerve action…
Abstract This study examined the qualifications, training, and practice patterns of oral and maxillofacial surgeons in Australia in 2011. This information was compared to similar studies performed in 1986 and…
Abstract Teriparatide is a synthetic polypeptide hormone that contains the 1–34 amino acid fragment of the recombinant human parathyroid hormone that stimulates bone formation. Currently, it is approved only for…
Abstract Osteoradionecrosis of the jaw is a common radiation-induced complication that may be observed in oral cancer patients. Several classifications and staging systems have been proposed for osteoradionecrosis of the…
Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of allicin in the treatment of stage II oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) in a Chinese patient cohort….
Abstract Immediate dental implant placement in the molar region is critical, because of the high amount of bone loss and the discrepancy between alveolar crest thickness and the implant platform….
Abstract Large antral pseudocysts of the maxillary sinus (APCs) may hamper the elevation of the Schneiderian membrane during sinus grafting and may impair osteo-meatal complex patency after sinus augmentation. Therefore,…
Abstract The loss of multiple teeth or trauma to the anterior maxilla often results in a deficient ridge width for prosthetic tooth rehabilitation. This study evaluated the use of titanium…
Abstract Angiogenesis is critical for peri-implant bone regeneration and osseointegration. Endothelial cells (ECs) play an important role in angiogenesis during the early stage of bone formation. Nerve growth factor (NGF)…
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the influence of implant diameter and length on primary stability in artificial bone blocks. In total, 240 implants of various diameters…
Abstract The correction of bone defects can be performed using autogenous or alloplastic materials, such as beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). This study compared the changes in bone volume (CBV) after maxillary…
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate growth characteristics of parotid gland Warthin’s tumours. The medical records of 134 patients who had a cytological or histopathological diagnosis of…
Abstract The association between XRCC6/Ku70 , an upstream player in the DNA double-strand break repair system, and the risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) was examined. In this case–control study, 176…
Abstract Communication between the surgeon and the radiation oncologist is improved with the use of virtual models of the final tumour resection, combining three-dimensional imaging and conventional clip marking with…
Abstract The surgery-first approach (SFA), without presurgical orthodontic treatment, has become favoured in the treatment of dentomaxillofacial deformities. This approach has been applied in our institution since 2012. The purpose…
