Does the modified inferior border osteotomy improve the surgical outcomes in bilateral sagittal split osteotomy?

Background: To investigate the effect of lower border osteotomy on the lingual split pattern and IAN in BSSO procedures.

Materials And Methods: The study comprised 32 patients (64 operated sides) who underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) due to dentofacial abnormalities between the periods of April 2021 and April 2022. In the mandible, 32 sides (the conventional group) received standard BSSO surgery, while 32 sides (the modified group) additionally received lower border osteotomy.

The Combined Therapy of Teriparatide and Raloxifene Improves Osseointegration of Dental Implants in the Osteoporotic Rabbit Model.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of combined therapy of teriparatide and raloxifene on the osseointegration of titanium dental implants in a rabbit model of osteoporotic bone.

Materials And Methods: Sixty female rabbits were randomly divided into six groups. The sham ovariectomy group (control) consisted of animals that received no medication.

PREEMPTIVE INTRAVENOUS IBUPROFEN AND LOCAL KETAMINE IMPROVE POSTOPERATIVE ANALGESIA FOLLOWING THIRD MOLAR SURGERY: A DOUBLE-BLIND, RANDOMIZED, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED CLINICAL STUDY.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of preemptive ibuprofen, local ketamine, and their combination in managing postoperative pain and trismus following third molar surgery.

Materials And Methods: One hundred patients were randomly divided into 4 groups. The Intrafen Group had their impacted third molars surgically removed under local anesthesia after receiving intravenous (IV) ibuprofen for preemptive effect.

Risk Factors Influencing Recovery of Neurosensory Disturbances Following Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the risk factors influencing the recovery time of neurosensory disturbances (NSD) following sagittal split ramus osteotomy.

Methods: One hundred twenty-seven patients (254 operated sites) underwent sagittal split ramus osteotomy due to dentofacial deformities between the period of 2011 and 2017. These patients were followed up for at least 1 year, and the data obtained from changes in sensation of inferior alveolar nerve were recorded subjectively.

Anterior mandibular zone safe for implants.

During implantology procedures, one of the most serious complications is damage of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). The mandibular incisive nerve is described as a terminal branch of the IAN and provides innervation to the lower anterior teeth and canines. The incisive nerve and canal are located in the interforaminal area.
