OBJECTIVE: To study the difference in mandibular asymmetry between patients with skeletal Class I and skeletal Class II malocclusions and analyze the correlation between mandibular asymmetry and different facial skeletal sagittal patterns based on CBCT measurements. METHODS: One hundred and twenty patients were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were divided into two groups (60 in the skeletal Class I group and 60 in the skeletal Class II group) based on ANB angles and Wits values...

This report describes the successful treatment of an adult case of unilateral posterior crossbite caused by maxillary transverse deficiency with miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE). A female patient aged 35.5 years presented with masticatory disturbance, facial asymmetry, and unilateral posterior crossbite. She was diagnosed with unilateral posterior crossbite with a skeletal Class III jaw-base relationship and high mandibular plane angle. Her maxillary right and mandibular bilateral second premolars were congenitally absent, and the maxillary left second premolar was impacted...

The frequency of displacement of a third molar root is low and considered a rare incident. A computer-assisted navigation system is a surgical support system that allows the patient to confirm the surgical site in three dimensions during surgery has recently been introduced to oral and maxillofacial surgery. We used a computer-assisted navigation system to remove a displaced third molar root in the floor of the mouth without complications and report the outline of the procedure and the effectiveness of the computer-assisted navigation system safety...

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to investigate the pneumatization type of the palatal process (PTP) and angular and distance measurements of neighbouring structures on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 400 maxillary sinuses (MS) of 200 patients (96 female; 104 male; mean age: 43.2) were retrospectively evaluated. PTP was divided into three as types 1,2 and 3 and evaluated at distances 4, 8, 16, and 24 mm posterior to incisive foramen...

OBJECTIVE: Disc displacement without reduction (DDWoR) of the temporomandibular joint is associated with limited mouth opening and arthralgia. In the natural course of the disorder, there is a tendency to progress to degenerative joint diseases. First-line treatment aims to reduce pain and restore joint function. The current study aims to examine the efficacy of an occlusal stabilization splint applied simultaneously with arthrocentesis as first-line treatment in acute and chronic closed-locks...

OBJECTIVE: This study is intended to compare the skeleton stability of bioabsorbable and titanium systems after orthognathic surgery in mandibular prognathism patients. STUDY DESIGN: A Retrospective study of 28 mandibular prognathism patients who underwent BSSRO setback surgery at Chulalongkorn University. Both titanium and the bioabsorbable group would take lateral cephalometrics immediately postoperative in 1-week(T0), 3(T1), 6(T2), and 12(T3) months. These radiographs were analyzed with Dolphin imaging programTM...

PURPOSE: This prospective study aimed to evaluate the changes in functional outcomes and quality of life after the injection of botulinum toxin (BTX) into the masticatory muscles for the management of myogenic temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was conducted with 45 individuals who presented with clinically myogenic TMDs according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders. All patients received BTX injections in the temporalis and masseter muscles...

Costochondral graft has been a popular reconstruction choice in the past for temporomandibular joint ankylosis in young individuals. However, accounts of growth hampering complications have also been observed. Our systematic review aims to compile all existing evidence to determine the occurrence of these unfavourable clinical outcomes as well as factors affecting them to provide a better judgement on further use of these grafts. A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines where databases like PubMed, Web of science and Google Scholar were searched for the purpose of data extraction...

BACKGROUND: Three-dimensional (3D) printing is now a widely recognized surgical tool in oral and maxillofacial surgery. However, little is known about its benefits for the surgical management of benign maxillary and mandibular tumors and cysts. PURPOSE: The objective of this systematic review was to assess the contribution of 3D printing in the management of benign jaw lesions. METHODS: A systematic review, registered in PROSPERO, was conducted using PubMed and Scopus databases, up to December 2022, by following PRISMA guidelines...

OBJECTIVE: This paper aims to investigate the role of cisplatin-induced autophagy in human tongue squamous carcinoma Tca8113 cells. METHODS: After inhibiting the expression of autophagic proteins with different autophagy inhibitors (3-methyladenine, chloroquine), the sensitivity of human tongue squamous cell carcinoma (Tca8113) cells to killing by gradient concentrations of cisplatin and gradient doses of radiation was detected using a colony formation assay. Further, the changes of autophagy expression in Tca8113 cells that had been treated with cisplatin and radiation were detected using western immunoblot, GFP-LC3 fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy...

BACKGROUND: The management of traumatic ear amputations remains a rare and difficult occurrence for surgeons. This is due to the fact that the chosen replantation technique must ensure the best vascular supply and the surrounding tissues have to be preserved as to not jeopardize a future auricular reconstruction in the event of replantation failure. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to review and synthesize the literature about the different surgical techniques described to date in the management of traumatic ear amputations (partial or total)...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiographic characteristics and surgical removal of mesiodens among patients who had attended the Department of Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial-Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of the Faculty of Medicine, Yamagata University. This study included 121 patients in the final analysis. We retrospectively reviewed medical records including patient age, sex, mesiodens number, direction, position, opportunity for detection, surgical approach and operating time. The 121 patients comprised 82 males and 39 females...

PURPOSE: To investigate clinically and radiographically at 4 months post-operatively the outcomes of mixing demineralized bovine bone material (DBBM) with cross-linked hyaluronic acid in alveolar ridge preservation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Seven patients presenting bilateral hopeless teeth (14 teeth) were enrolled in the study, the test site contained demineralized bovine bone material (DBBM) mixed with cross-linked hyaluronic acid (xHyA) while the control site contained only DBBM...

INTRODUCTION: the aim of this study was to report and assess the management and implant rehabilitation of oligodontia patients since its recognition in 2012 by french authorities in the nomenclature. MATERIAL AND METHODS: we conducted a retrospective study in the Maxillofacial Surgery and Stomatology Department of the Lille University Hospital between January 2012 and May 2022. Patients had to present an oligodontia recognized under the ALD31 in adulthood, and to have benefited from a pre-implant/implant surgical treatment in the unit...

OBJECTIVES: This network meta-analysis presents an exhaustive description and comparison of the available medical interventions for the management of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic review and network meta-analysis was conducted after registration with PROSPERO. (PROSPERO ID CRD42022303441). Databases (PubMed, Cochrane, EMBASE, Web of Science, and others) were searched for randomized clinical trials (RCT) trials from inception till September 2022 for the medical interventions in OSMF...

OBJECTIVE: Oral tongue keratinized squamous cell carcinoma (OTKSCC), a relatively rare form of tongue cancer (TC) in clinical practice, accompanied by features of cell keratosis, is an uncommon histological subtype. However, its specific clinicopathological features and prognosis have not been adequately described. In this study, we aimed to create a nomogram using R language software to predict overall survival (OS) of patients with OTKSCC to assess the prognosis of OTKSCC patients. METHODS: We extracted clinical and related prognostic data of OTKSCC patients from 1975 to 2019 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database...
