[INTRODUCTION] The scapular osseous free flap (SOFF) is being increasingly used for complex head and neck reconstructions. This study examined the surgical outcomes, focusing on post-operative complications and sequelae in patients who unde…

[BACKGROUND AND AIM] Central giant cell tumour (CGCT) accounts for …

[INTRODUCTION] Secondary nasal deformity following unilateral cleft lip is a common facial congenital malformation. Due to its complex treatment, there is currently no unified treatment plan in clinical practice. Dysplasia of cartilage, dis…

[BACKGROUND] Controversy exists regarding the timing of rhinoplasty for patients with cleft lip as some surgeons shy away from primary correction for fear of causing harm to the growth of the nose and the maxilla. We present our favorable e…

[OBJECTIVES] This study aimed to develop and validate a robotic system capable of performing accurate and minimally invasive jawbone milling procedures in oral and maxillofacial surgery. [METHODS] The robotic hardware system mainly include…

[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 …

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] To evaluate the feasibility and safety of the superficial circumflex iliac perforator flap (SCIP) for maxillary reconstruction with intraoral anastomosis, pedicle elongation, and super-microsurgery techniques to overcome its an…

[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] The standard procedure for managing skeletal class III malocclusion is maxillary advancement with mandibular setback. Occlusal plane-altering orthognathic surgery, such as jaw rotation, is useful as well. Although clockwise jaw…

[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…

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] To determine the presence of sex differences in difficult laryngeal exposure and the Laryngoscore, validate the Laryngoscore, mini-Laryngoscore, and Clarysse's model for predicting difficult laryngeal exposure, and m…

[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…

[BACKGROUND] This in vitro study compared the stability of different fixation method combinations for the zygomatic complex after simulated L-shaped osteotomy reduction malarplasty, a common facial contouring surgery in East Asia with high …

Placing dental implants in microvascular bone free flaps used for reconstructing the mandible or maxilla has been previously reported. However, there is scarce information available on the restorative protocol using short dental implants pl…

The study purpose is to review the surgical approach and evaluate the results in managing patients with advanced midface and maxillary complex tumors. The most common anatomical site of the primary tumor was the maxilla, sometimes with exte…

[BACKGROUND] Ameloblastoma is a locally aggressive, benign tumor presenting in the maxilla and mandible prone to recurrence. Resection greatly limits recurrence; however, reconstruction becomes critical to preserve patients' functionality a…
