Resorption of alveolar bone is a common sequela of tooth loss and presents a clinical problem, especially in the esthetic zone. When ridge resorption occurs, adequate bone augmentation is essential to obtain s...
Nanotechnology and nanomedicine are rising novel fields in plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS). The use of nanomaterials often goes with regenerative medicine. Due to their nanoscale, these materials stim...
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to using technologies to simulate human cognition to solve a specific problem. The rapid development of AI in the health sector has been attributed to the improvement of com...
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is one of the complications caused by various drugs. As there are increasing reports of MRONJ, it is important to diagnose and identify patients who have the...
Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita is a rare condition that mainly involves the lower limbs, characterized by severe joint deformity and contracture, muscular atrophy, and functional impairment. Its clinical m...
The purpose of this article is to introduce the concept of zonal analysis in orthognathic surgical planning.
This study aimed to analyze the accuracy of the output of three-dimensional (3D) customized surgical guides and titanium implants in a rabbit model, and of mandibulectomy, reconstructive surgery, and surgical ...
The nose is one of the most prominent parts of the face and plays a significant role in peoples’ self-satisfaction as well as quality of life. Rhinoplasty is considered as one of the most numerous and delicate...
The need for whole mandibular bone reconstruction and bilateral joint replacement is fortunately rare, but it is an extremely challenging topic in maxillofacial surgery, due to its functional implications. CAD...
Even though mandibular condyle fractures have a high clinical relevance, their treatment remains somewhat challenging. Open reduction and internal fixation are difficult due to narrow surgical approaches, poor...
Craniofacial disharmony in cases of jaw deformity associated with abnormal lateral deviation of the jaw mostly involves both the maxilla and mandible. However, it has been still difficult to capture the jaw de...
Malarplasty is widely performed for zygoma reduction. The effects of body segmentation, plate bending, and postoperative arch location on zygomatic movement have not been analyzed using computed tomography (CT).
Silk sericin is an active ingredient in bone grafts. However, the optimal scaffold for silk sericin has yet to be identified.
Mesiodentes are the most common supernumerary teeth. The cause is not fully understood, although proliferations of genetic factors and the dental lamina have been implicated. Mesiodentes can cause delayed or e...
Bilateral cleft lip repair is one of the most difficult surgeries, and many techniques have been modified and developed to improve surgical outcomes. The current trend is toward preserving tissue as much as po...
Complications from osteoradionecrosis (ORN) and medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) include oro-cutaneous fistulas, necrotic bone exposure, soft-tissue defects, and pathologic fractures. The fi...
