Objectives: This study aimed to assess the outcomes of bifocal transport distraction osteogenesis (BTDO) for closure of a wide or previously failed unilateral alveolar cleft.
Methods: Patient in this study had a large alveolar cleft that had not healed with bone grafts. Bone-borne distraction was used under general anesthesia.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the sources of anxiety and stress among dental students when returning back to training in dental colleges in the era of COVID-19, with the evaluation of a secure condition for training and practicing without the risk of contamination.
Materials And Methods: A questionnaire was edited in English and distributed to the dental students through the official site of Al-Farabi Private College/Jeddah/KSA. The questionnaire was assessed with different parameters: general information of respondents, anxiety and stress during dental training, importance criteria to be applied by dental college, and exploring the uses and benefits of e-learning.
Purpose: The objective of this work is to integrate structural optimization and reliability concepts into mini-plate fixation strategy used in symphysis mandibular fractures. The structural reliability levels are next estimated when considering a single failure mode and multiple failure modes.
Patients And Methods: A 3-dimensional finite element model is developed in order to evaluate the ability of reducing the negative effect due to the stabilization of the fracture.
