Treatment outcomes and patient-reported quality of life after orthognathic surgery with computer-assisted 2- or 3-dimensional planning: A randomized double-blind active-controlled clinical trial.

Introduction: Thorough treatment planning is essential for a good clinical outcome in orthognathic treatment. The planning is often digital. Both 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) software options are available.

Treatment outcome in orthognathic surgery-A prospective randomized blinded case-controlled comparison of planning accuracy in computer-assisted two- and three-dimensional planning techniques (part II).

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to compare the accuracy of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) prediction methods. The hypothesis was that a 3D technique would give a more accurate outcome of the postoperative result.

Material And Methods: Patients with severe class III occlusion were included and planed with both a 2D and 3D prediction technique.

Treatment outcome in orthognathic surgery - A prospective comparison of accuracy in computer assisted two and three-dimensional prediction techniques.

The main objective of the present study was to assess the accuracy of two- and three-dimensional prediction techniques in orthognathic surgery. It was also a test of the very planning sequence. The scientific question was how well does the software support the surgeon in his way to find the perfect correction of the facial appearance while normalizing the occlusion? Thirty patients with a class III occlusion were included in this prospective study.

Titanium Granules for Augmentation of the Maxillary Sinus - A Multicenter Study.

Background: Biomaterials are commonly used to augment the maxillary sinus floor prior to or in conjunction with dental implant installation. Recently, porous titanium granules (PTGs) have been used in oral implant surgery to stabilize implants and function as an osteoconductive matrix.

Purpose: To evaluate if PTGs can be safely used in a larger population of patients, treated by different surgeons, when sinus floor augmentation was required in conjunction with implant installation.

Maxillary sinus augmentation with porous titanium granules: a microcomputed tomography and histologic evaluation of human biopsy specimens.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess bone ingrowth into porous titanium granules used for maxillary sinus augmentation.

Materials And Methods: Eighteen biopsy specimens from 17 patients participating in a clinical trial on sinus augmentation using porous titanium granules (PTG) were received in the laboratory. The specimens (trephine cores of 4.
