Background: Mandibular angle is the most common site for fractures, accounting for 23-42% of all cases of mandibular fractures. A customized fixation system is designed directly for a specific patient, which reduces the time spent bending and fixing the plate during the operation. This study was designed to assess the effect of CAD/CAM customized V pattern plate versus standard miniplates fixation in mandibular angle fracture.

Background: Reconstruction of mandibular defects following ablative surgery remains a challenge even for experienced surgeons. Virtual planning and guided surgery, including computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), afford optimized ways by which to plan complex surgery. This study aimed to evaluate and compare aesthetic outcome and surgical efficiency of free fibular flap (FFF) with and without CAD/CAM customized osteotomy guide (COG) for reconstruction of onco-surgical mandibular defects.

Objective: To evaluate and analyze the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection on the scar formed after unilateral complete cleft lip scar repair using a modified Millard technique.

Hypothesis: An unavoidable cheiloplasty scar is a result of the wound healing process that not only influences patient self-esteem for life but also affects muscle function.

Design: Blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial.
