Comprehensive analysis of lateral nasal wall anatomy to optimize the osteotomy in different skeletal patterns.

Purpose: Variations in nasal wall anatomy are crucial in patients with dentofacial deformities undergoing Le Fort I osteotomy. These structural variations heighten the potential for complications during surgical procedures. Hence, the study focused on evaluating the differences in the lateral nasal wall anatomy across different skeletal Classes.

Is There a Relationship Between Maxillary Sinus's Inferior Pneumatisation and Sinonasal Variations? A Retrospective CBCT Study.

Objectives: This retrospective study aims to analyse alveolar and palatal process pneumatisation and their relationships with sinonasal variations using cone-beam computed tomography.

Material And Methods: The study included 500 patients aged 18 to 87 years, involving 1000 maxillary sinuses with cone-beam computed tomography scans. We examined the relationship between inferior maxillary pneumatisation and the following anatomic variations: Haller cell, concha bullosa, paradoxical concha, bifid concha, and septal deviation.

The impact of orthognathic surgery on quality of life for class III dentofacial deformities.

In this study, we aim to evaluate the quality of life in patients with Class III deformities after orthognathic surgery. A total of the 40 patients (26 female and 14 male) were included. The mean age of the patients was 24.

The effect of Instagram posts related to #Wisdomteeth on patients.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the quality of the posts about wisdom teeth on Instagram in terms of patients benefit.

Methods And Materials: The #Wisdomteeth hashtag was searched on Instagram. The first 200 posts were reviewed.

Comparison of Surgical Drain Placement With Use of Kinesiologic Tape on Postoperative Pain, Swelling, and Trismus in Impacted Mandibular Third Molar Surgery.

Purpose: The aim of this prospective study was to compare the effects of a surgical tube drain with kinesiologic tape (KT) application on postoperative complications such as trismus, swelling, and pain after impacted third molar surgery.

Patients And Methods: This single-center, randomized study included 90 patients divided into 3 groups. After impacted third molar removal, 30 patients were treated with a tube drain (drain group), 30 patients were treated with KT application (KT group), and 30 patients were treated with a routine surgical operation and no extra procedure (control group).
