Among the accuracy analysis techniques for orthognathic surgery, regional voxel-based registration (R-VBR) has robust data, but remains unvalidated for smaller jaw segments. The purpose of this study was to validate the angular accuracy of …

[BACKGROUND] Vascularized fibula free flap (VFFF) remains gold standard for reconstruction of bony defects of the maxilla or mandible. Research and publications in recent years essentially focused on the evolution and improvement of the rec…

Introduction- Spindle cell neoplasm is a variant of squamous cell carcinoma. One of its subtypes is solitary fibrous tumor. Its occurrence in head and neck is very rare and rarer in hard palate. But if occurs, radical excision is the only c…

Myofibrosarcoma is a distinct mesenchymal malignancy which commonly occurs in head and neck region. It has a high tendency for local recurrence and distant metastasis. 39-year-old male presented with epistaxis, nasal obstruction and left si…

This 10-year follow-up report describes the interdisciplinary comprehensive management of a patient with aneurysmal bone cyst of the maxilla in a 24-year-old patient. The treatment included resection and primary reconstruction with vascular…

Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare neurocutaneous and craniofacial disorder characterized by progressive hemifacial wasting and atrophy that predominantly affects children and young adults, with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 700,000 i…

[AIM] The aim of the present retrospective case series was to longitudinally assess soft tissue volume changes on the vestibular aspect of implants in relation to keratinized mucosa thickness (KMT) and width (KMW) after the application of t…

[OBJECTIVE] The Laryngoscore was described in 2014 as a practical preoperative assessment tool to predict difficult laryngeal exposure (DLE) during transoral approaches to the larynx. In 2019 the authors proposed a version with a reduced nu…

The maxilla plays a crucial role in maintaining midfacial contour, supporting the globe and dentition and separating the oral and nasal cavity. Reconstruction of total maxillectomy defects has always been a challenge in head and neck surger…

[BACKGROUND] The relationship between hardware colonization, latent hardware complications, and hardware removal remains unclear following osteocutaneous free flap reconstruction of the jaws. [METHODS] Retrospective cohort study of all pat…

Osteosarcomas are rare and highly malignant bone tumours which are composed of malignant mesenchymal cells producing osteoid or immature bone. Maxillary osteosarcomas are rare tumours accounting for less than 1% of head and neck malignancie…

[BACKGROUND] Microsurgical bone reconstruction is challenging in cases of anterior maxillary defects because of the presence of residual teeth. The study analyzed the method and feasibility of using vascularized bone flaps to reconstruct an…

[OBJECTIVE] Anterior maxillary deficiency caused by trauma or oncologic resection presents a complex reconstructive challenge. The authors present a technique for 2-stage midface reconstruction utilizing a vascularized free fibula flap for …

This study aimed to study 3-dimensional (3D) changes of hard and soft tissues of skeletal class II patients after 2-jaw surgery and genioplasty. 32 adult patients diagnosed with mandibular hypoplasia who underwent 2-jaw surgery of maxillary…

Facial gunshots injuries remain challenging and present functional and aesthetic problems. Such defects generally require composite tissue flaps for reconstruction. Rebuilding the palate and the maxilla is especially delicate because it req…

[OBJECTIVE] To determine the effect of the nose and chin on the cephalometric lip profile. [METHODS AND MATERIAL] The pre-treatment lateral cephalograms of 177 adult patients with no history of orthodontic treatment were manually traced. T…

[BACKGROUND/AIM] The treatment of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the oral cavity for operable patients usually consists of surgical tumor resection, unilateral or bilateral neck dissection and defect reconstruction. In addition to local f…
