Newly Developed Resorbable Magnesium Biomaterials for Orbital Floor Reconstruction in Caprine and Ovine Animal Models-A Prototype Design and Proof-of-Principle Study.

Background: orbital floor fractures have not been reconstructed using magnesium biomaterials.

Methods: To test technical feasibility, ex vivo caprine and ovine heads (n = 5) were used. Head tissues were harvested from pubescent animals (n = 5; mean age: 3.

Facial scars resulting from a transbuccal approach during osteosynthesis of a sagittal split osteotomy: A retrospective study.

The purpose of the current study was to assess the quality of facial linear scars. The Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Scale (SBSES) was developed and validated as a tool to assess postoperative scars. Postoperative facial scars were rated using high-quality macrophotographs and SBSES by three independent raters at baseline and three months thereafter.

Intravenous ibuprofen versus diclofenac plus orphenadrine in orthognathic surgery: a prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical study.

Objectives: The aim of this prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of ibuprofen versus diclofenac plus orphenadrine on postoperative pain in orthognathic surgery.

Material And Methods: Patients who underwent orthognathic surgery were randomized into two groups to receive intravenously either 600 mg of ibuprofen (I-group) or 75 mg diclofenac plus 30 mg orphenadrine (D-group), both of which were given twice daily. Additionally, both groups were given metamizole 500 mg.

Weight gain in infants with Pierre Robin sequence.

Objective: To determine weight gain during treatment with the modified palatal plate (MPP) in infants with isolated and syndromic Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS) suffering from micrognathia, upper airway obstruction (UAO), and failure to thrive (FTT), the authors conducted a retrospective study of infants treated with the MPP.

Methods: The main outcome measure was infant weight (g) for up to three months after birth. Demographic and outcome data (associated syndromes, comorbidities, presence of cleft lip or palate, intubation attempts, tracheotomy and cleft repair) were collected.

The Gap between Individual Perception and Compliance: A Qualitative Follow-Up Study of the Surgical Safety Checklist Application.

Background: "The Surgical Safety Checklist (SSC) is important, but we don't use it adequately" is a well-suited statement that reflects the SSC's application in hospitals. Our aim was to follow up on our initial study on compliance (2014) by analysing differences between individual perception and compliance with the SSC.

Methods: We conducted a follow-up online survey to assess healthcare professionals' individual perception of, as well as satisfaction and compliance with the SSC three years following its thorough implementation.

Dentoalveolar changes after surgically assisted maxillary expansion: a three-dimensional evaluation.

Objectives: Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) is a common procedure to correct maxillary transverse deficiency of >5 mm in patients with closed midpalatal suture. The aim of this study was to three-dimensionally analyze skeletal and dentoalveolar changes after SARPE.

Study Design: Eighteen mature patients (mean age 26 years) with a palatal transverse deficiency underwent SARPE.
