[BACKGROUND] Reduction malarplasty (RM) is a common facial contouring procedure among Orientals. Currently, fixation methods selection and placement vectors are controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of different …

A key point, that determines the late outcome of push-down procedures, is a stable fixation of the bony pyramid in its new position. Therefore, rhinoplasty surgeons are consistently trying to find the effective technique for fixation of the…

The osteocutaneous fibula free flap (FFF)'s skin paddle is commonly vascularized by the septocutaneous (SC) perforators of the peroneal artery that course through the posterior intercrural septum. However, a rare anatomical variant exists i…

Various donor sites have been extensively documented in the literature for bone free flaps in head and neck reconstruction. These include the radius, scapula, rib, ilium, femur, fibula, and metatarsal bone. Among them, the fibula, ilium, an…

[BACKGROUND] Le Fort I osteotomy is a technique for surgically correcting the maxillary position. Le Fort I osteotomy may affect the nasolabial structures since a very close relationship exists between the maxilla and the nose. [PURPOSE] T…

[BACKGROUND] Facial asymmetry includes several etiologies, among them trauma to the condylar area during early childhood and congenital malformations such as hemifacial microsomia. This article describes the management of facial asymmetry i…

[OBJECTIVES] Orthognathic surgery is a corrective intervention for maxillofacial deformities. Bleeding is a major concern for oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Various agents, such as hemocoagulase, tranexamic acid, and aprotinin have been d…

[UNLABELLED] A significant percentage of lesions of endodontic origin require surgical management due to the possible diagnosis of odontogenic cysts and tumors in the maxilla and mandible. Ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous lesion …

[BACKGROUND] Bone nonunion is extensively studied in the orthopedic literature, but the knowledge in oral and maxillofacial surgery, specifically orthognathic surgery, is scarce. Since this complication has a significant negative impact on …

[PURPOSE] To establish a three-dimensional method to evaluate whether there is a difference in stability between bimaxillary simultaneous genioplasty and simple genioplasty. [METHODS] This study was a retrospective study. Sixty patients wh…

[PURPOSE] Bony changes after orthognathic surgery are always followed by changes of the overlying soft tissues. Therefore, morphologic changes of the nose may be expected after procedures involving the maxilla. The purpose of this study was…

Bimaxillary transverse width discrepancies are commonly encountered among patients with dentofacial deformities. Skeletal discrepancies should be diagnosed and managed appropriately with possible surgical corrections. Transverse width defic…

[PURPOSE] As maxillofacial surgical techniques have advanced, vascularized bone free flap transplantation has become the standard treatment for repairing maxillofacial defects. In this meta-analysis, we summarize the survival rates of impla…

Ossifying fibroma is benign, slowly expansile, painless, well defined fibro-osseous tumour composed of calcified products such as bone, cementum, or both [1]. We opted for a novel approach for the management of ossifying fibroma of maxillar…

Oral rehabilitation after maxillary oncological resection is challenging. This case report presents the rehabilitation of a 65-year-old Caucasian male adenoid cystic carcinoma patient using a myo-cutaneous thigh flap, zygomatic implant plac…

[PURPOSE] To describe the treatment of malpositioned implants in the esthetic area using the angulated welded abutment (AWA) approach together with peri-implant soft tissue surgery. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] A clinical case with extreme bucc…

Patients with deformed external noses and deviated nasal septum also have lateral wall deformities compromising the osteomeatal complex leading on to sinusitis. These patients will need septorhinoplasty along with functional endoscopic sinu…

Extended maxillectomies with orbital exenteration and facial soft tissue resection need careful planning to achieve satisfactory functional and esthetic outcomes. Only a few solutions provide enough hard and soft tissue on a single pedicle,…

[INTRODUCTION] In the Indian subcontinent where tobacco chewing is rampant, composite 'bite' defects are common after oral cancer ablation, which comprise buccal mucosa, maxilla and mandible with or without skin. These are often reconstruct…

Currently, concern about facial attractiveness is increasing, and this fact has led to orthodontics in adult patients being an increasingly demanded treatment, and with it, multi-disciplinary work. When it is caused by a vertical excess of …
