An Objective Assessment of Orthognathic Surgery Patients.

Objectives: To retrospectively assess malocclusions, skeletal relationships and the functional needs of orthognathic patients treated in a University teaching hospital.

Subjects And Methods: This study used clinical records of 100 consecutive patients [51 female, 49 males, mean (SD) age =21.5 (2.

A Retrospective Analysis of Dentofacial Deformities and Orthognathic Surgeries.

Background: Information regarding the prevalence of surgical osteotomies used for the correction of dentofacial deformities in Iran is lacking.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study assessed the distribution of orthognathic surgeries performed (2011-2015) at major University hospital in Iran. Records of 103 orthognathic surgery patients were assessed (58 female, 45 males, aged = 23.

Three-Dimensional Alveolar Bone Anatomy of the Maxillary First Molars: A Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Study With Implications for Immediate Implant Placement.

Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate alveolar dimensions of healthy maxillary first molars (MFMs), which have implications for (immediate) implant placement and endodontic therapy.

Materials And Methods: Cone-beam computed tomographic records of 95 patients (150 MFMs) were used [32 men and 63 men, aged 37.2 (14.

Simultaneous implant placement and bone grafting with particulate mineralized allograft in sites with buccal wall defects, a three-year follow-up and review of literature.

Objectives: To assess the relationship between the vertical buccal defect size and the outcome of single-stage (non-submerged) implant placement and simultaneously augmentation of sites with mineralized particulate allograft (Puros Cancellous) using collagen membranes (Ossix Plus).

Subjects And Methods: Records of 108 partially edentulous patients with localized, buccal bone defects in the posterior maxilla and/or mandible [156 tissue-level Straumann implants, 38 male, 70 female, average age = 46.7 (6.

Assessment of short dental implants restored with single-unit nonsplinted restorations.

Objectives: To investigate the survival rate of short (≤9 mm) implants restored with single-unit, nonsplinted crowns after an average follow-up of 37 months (21-94 months).

Materials And Methods: Two hundred and twenty-one implants placed in 168 patients (74 men, 94 women, aged 34-87 years, mean = 61 years). Implant lengths were 6 (n = 16), 8 (n = 166), 8.

Labial bone thickness in area of anterior maxillary implants associated with crestal labial soft tissue thickness.

Objective: To explore the relationship between implant's labial bone thickness (ILBT) and crestal labial soft tissue thickness (CLSTT).

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study used records of 32 (22 females and 10 males) patients who had 2 implants placed in their maxillary arch (64 implants; diameter range, 3.3-4.

Alveolar cleft repair in adults using guided bone regeneration with mineralized allograft for dental implant site development: a report of 2 cases.

Alveolar bone grafting is an integral part of the surgical management of oral clefts. The rationale behind alveolar cleft repair includes maxillary arch stabilization, closure of the oronasal fistula, nasal base support, nasolabial soft tissue reconstruction, and creation of bony support for tooth eruption or dental implant placement. Currently, the graft material of choice is autogenous bone graft from the anterior iliac crest.

Dental implants in a young patient with Papillon-Lefevre syndrome: a case report.

A case is reported of dental implant placement in a 13-year-old patient diagnosed with Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome. Two titanium dental implants were placed in the mandible for an implant-retained denture after the patient complained of having an unstable prosthesis. Follow-up radiographs showed successful osseointegration and preservation of alveolar bone 1 year after implant placement and the continual wearing of a functional dental prosthesis.

Referral patterns for the treatment of facial trauma in teaching hospitals in the United States.

Purpose: The management of facial trauma is considered an integral part of the training of several specialties, including general plastic surgery, otolaryngology, and oral and maxillofacial surgery. Referral patterns of patients who have sustained facial trauma to these various specialty services, however, vary at different institutions according to physician preferences and protocols. The purpose of this project was to examine the referral patterns of facial trauma in the United States at teaching hospitals.
