[SUMMARY] As the most prominent feature of the lower face, the chin is crucial to human facial morphology, and plays a large role in contributing to facial attractiveness and harmony. Although an increasing number of genioplasty procedures …

[BACKGROUND] Augmentation mentoplasty with implants is an extremely rewarding procedure. Bone resorption is almost unavoidable. The high-risk factors for chin bone resorption have not been explored in the past. This study aimed to analyze a…

The aim of this article is to review safer orthognathic surgery. The literature survey was performed in PubMed, EBSCO, UpToDate, ProQuest Central databases of Kırıkkale University, and Google and Google Scholar databases. Patients with de…

[BACKGROUND]  A comprehensive understanding of changes in health-related quality of life after head and neck cancer surgery is necessary for effective preoperative counseling. The goal of this study was to perform a longitudinal analysis of…

The osteocutaneous radial forearm (OCRFF) is a versatile free flap option for bony defects of the head and neck, given the thinness and pliability of the forearm cutaneous paddle, pedicle length, reliability, lack of atherosclerosis, and fu…

The vascularized periosteal free flap transposes a non-irradiated soft tissue with neoangiogenesis, bone induction, and osteogenesis qualities. A surgical technique using a humeral periosteal free flap is described for the treatment of recu…

The removal of tumors at the root of the tongue can be challenging due to anatomic constraints (deep location of the root of the tongue, obstruction by the mandible), leading to poor surgical visibility. Clear visibility of the surgical fie…

[OBJECTIVES] Occlusal-based virtual surgical planning (VSP) prioritises the placement of endosseous dental implants, over replicating native bone contour. This may compromise facial aesthetics. This study aimed to compare function and healt…

[BACKGROUND] This study compares the outcomes of osteocutaneous radial forearm free flap (OC-RFFF) and fibula free flap (FFF) reconstruction of mandibular osteoradionecrosis (ORN). [METHODS] Retrospective review of patients undergoing OC-R…

Condylar is one of the most vulnerable sites to be traumatized in pediatric mandible fracture, while temporomandibular joint ankylosis might be the most severe complication of condylar fracture in children. There exists a long-time controve…

Genioplasty is a widely used surgical approach to address chin deformities by performing an osteotomy on the inferior border of the mandible to allow for comprehensive repositioning of the chin. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of f…

[OBJECTIVE] Liposuction of the face and neck is a common treatment for fat deposition. If conventional methods are used for tumescent anesthesia, patients will experience pain, affecting their surgery experience. Using general anesthesia fo…

[PURPOSE] This study evaluated the methods and clinical effects of multidisciplinary collaborative treatment for occlusal reconstruction in patients with old jaw fractures and dentition defects. [METHODS] Patients with old jaw fractures an…

The severe complication in oral cancer patients receiving radiation therapy is osteoradionecrosis. The reported incidence of ORN is highly variable, ranging from 0 to 37.5%. Diverse treatment protocols underscore the complexity of managing …

Anterior mandible defects result in loss of support for the tongue, floor of the mouth and lower lip, resulting in impairment of airway, feeding, and speech. We treated four patients with these "Andy Gump" deformities. Reconstruction was pe…

Primary Intraosseous Carcinoma (PIOC) is a rare and aggressive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) derived from remnants of odontogenic epithelium with no initial connection to oral mucosa. Due to the rarity of the disease, etiology and epidemiol…

The present study assessed the efficacy of photobiomodulation (PBM) following leukocyte-platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF) application for recovery of mental nerve neurosensory disturbances (NSDs) caused by genioplasty. This randomized triple-bli…

[OBJECTIVE] This systematic review aims to summarize and synthesize the evidence that investigates the secondary effects of the application of botulinum toxin (BT) into the masticatory muscles and its effects on bone density. [MATERIALS AN…

[BACKGROUND] Medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) requiring free flap (FF) reconstruction is uncommon with limited reported findings. [METHODS] Multicenter, retrospective case series of 49 consecutive adult patients presenti…

[OBJECTIVES] The aim of this study was to investigate the selected biomechanical properties of semi-anatomic implant plate made of biostable glass fiber-reinforced composite (GFRC) for mandibular reconstruction. Two versions of GFRC plates …
