Abstract The aim of this study was to observe the effect of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α on bone regeneration during distraction osteogenesis (DO). Fifty-one New Zealand white rabbits underwent mandibular lengthening…
Abstract This study evaluated the effects of homogenous demineralized dentin matrix (HDDM) slices and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in surgical defects created in the parietal bones of alloxan-induced diabetic rabbits, treated…
Abstract The retromolar foramen, retromolar canal, and retromolar nerve constitute a variation of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) with a prevalence of 12–75%; this represents type 1 bifidity of the…
Abstract Cluster headache (CH) is a debilitating, severe form of headache. A novel non-systemic therapy has been developed that produces therapeutic electrical stimulation to the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG). A transoral…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between initial stability and bone density in patients undergoing implant treatment. Twenty-five screw-type dental implants were inserted in 12…
Abstract Intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) is used widely to correct mandibular prognathism. However, several disadvantages of this procedure have been reported, such as condylar luxation and bony interference at…
Abstract The aim of this meta-analysis was to analyse the effectiveness of submucosal injection of dexamethasone to control the postoperative signs and symptoms resulting from impacted third molar surgery. An…
Abstract This retrospective study assessed the success of immediate and non-immediate implants installed in patients undergoing planned extraction of all remaining teeth and rehabilitation with implant-supported full fixed prostheses. Patients…
Abstract The purpose of this review was to test the null hypothesis of no difference in marginal bone loss and implant failure rates between smokers and non-smokers with respect to…
Abstract A modified technique of horseshoe osteotomy combined with Le Fort I osteotomy for superior and posterior repositioning of the maxilla is presented. Eight patients with maxillary excess associated with…
Abstract The palate is an alternative anchoring site for orthodontic implants and screws. The use of osseointegrated implants in the intermaxillary suture has recently been described as a fast, effective,…
Abstract The change in neurosensory lesions that develop after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) was explored, and the influence of the application of combination uridine triphosphate (UTP), cytidine monophosphate (CMP),…
Abstract Various composite free flaps are available for reconstruction of bony head and neck defects. The aim of this study was to compare the relative success of four different bony…
Abstract Median cleft lip refers to a vertical cleft on the midline of the upper lip. It is a rare congenital craniofacial anomaly brought about by a fusion failure in…
Abstract Cleft palate repair is done to allow for normal speech by separating the oral and nasal cavities and creating a functioning velopharyngeal valve. However, despite cleft palate repair, some…
Abstract The aim of this trial was to compare two techniques of maxillary dysjunction, with 10 mg/kg tranexamic acid as an adjuvant, in isolated non-segmented Le Fort I procedures. Two…
Abstract The reported prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis (SCS) varies due to inconsistent definitions of OSA, lack of uniform diagnostic testing, and different mixes…
Abstract Skull base tumours are rare, comprising less than 1% of all tumours of the head and neck. Surgical treatment of these tumours involves the approach, the resection, and the…
Abstract Head and neck mucosal melanoma (HNMM) is a rare and aggressive malignancy. The objective of this study was to describe the outcomes of patients with HNMM. Clinical and pathological…
Abstract The medical records of patients who had undergone a free flap reconstruction after radical resection of oral cancer between January 2009 and December 2013 at the study hospital in…
