Coronectomy of Deeply Impacted Lower Third Molar: Incidence of Outcomes and Complications after One Year Follow-Up.

Objectives: The purpose of present study was to assess the surgical management of impacted third molar with proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve and complications associated with coronectomy in a series of patients undergoing third molar surgery.

Material And Methods: The position of the mandibular canal in relation to the mandibular third molar region and mandibular foramen in the front part of the mandible (i.e.

Osseous reconstruction using an occlusive titanium membrane following marginal mandibulectomy: proof of principle.

Guided bone regeneration using barrier membranes is useful in bone augmentation. In contrast to flexible membranes, stiff membranes such as titanium membranes are capable of maintaining sufficient space underneath them. We report a case of bone regeneration under an occlusive titanium membrane following marginal mandibulectomy in a 50-year-old patient with odontogenic keratocyst.

Accuracy of Dental Implant Placement Using CBCT-Derived Mucosa-Supported Stereolithographic Template.

Purpose: The aim of the present in vivo study was to evaluate whether a difference exists between the maxilla and the mandible regarding the precision of implant placement utilizing a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-derived mucosa-supported stereolithographic (SLA) template.

Materials And Methods: Eighty implants (44 maxilla, 36 mandible) were placed in 18 fully edentulous jaws (10 maxillas, eight mandibles) using a mucosa-supported SLA surgical template. A voxel-based registration technique was applied to match the postoperative and preoperative CBCT scans.
