Radiological examination of the relationship between the pterygomaxillary junction and fracture pattern.

Background: Le Fort 1 (LF1) osteotomies are widely used to correct midface deformities. To move the maxilla freely, the ptery-gomaxillary junction (PMJ) must be separated. When performing this osteotomy, the pterygoid plate must remain intact.

Histopathological investigation of the effect of chitosan on oral mucous wound healing in experimentally established diabetic rats.

Background: In our study, it was aimed to histopathologically investigate the effects of chitosan on wound healing in the oral mucosa by applying the gel form of experimentally induced diabetes mellitus.

Methods: In our study, 42 male Sprague Dawley rats weighing 340±20 g, 14-16 weeks old, were used. Diabetes induction was achieved by administering 55 mg/kg streptozotocin intraperitoneally (i.

Nasal Airway Function After Prophylactic Intranasal Surgery for Excessive Maxillary Superior Repositioning: A Retrospective Cohort Study Using the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation Scale.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the degree of nasal airway function after simultaneous intranasal corrective surgery and bimaxillary surgery in patients with excessive superior maxillary repositioning.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on consecutive LeFort I superior repositioning patients who also underwent simultaneous intranasal surgery to prevent airway obstruction between 2015 and 2019. The Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale was administered to all participants before the operation and after 1 year.

Comparison of standard miniplates and locked miniplates in post-traumatic fracture stabilization.

Background: Bicortical screws (lag and positional) or miniplates with monocortical screws are generally used for the rigid fixa-tion of the sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) in maxillofacial surgery. However, in this osteosynthesis method, the plate must be perfectly adapted to the bone to prevent misalignment of the bone segment and occlusal changes. In addition, it is necessary to prevent the position of the condyle in the mandibular fossa from changing after fixation.

Retrospective examination of complications observed in orthognathic surgical surgery in 85 patients.

Background: The aim of our study is to examine the possible complications, risk factors, and solutions encountered in orthog-nathic surgery in the light of the cases; we performed in our clinic.

Methods: This study includes a retrospective analysis of the records of 85 patients who underwent orthognathic surgery between 2015 and 2020 in Istanbul Pendik District Hospital Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service. The types of complications encountered during the operations were recorded in the study.
