Objective: To record condylar movements of patients with mandibular deviation and analyze their characteristics.
Methods: Computer aided diagnosis axiography (CADIAX III) was used to record and analyze condylar lateral movements in 31 patients (9 males, 22 females and the age range 12 - 26, mean age 18 years old) with mandibular deviation. Paired-t test and rank sum test were used to compare condylar movements. Multinomial logistic analysis was used to clarify the relationship between condylar movement and mandibular deviation.
Results: The condylar lateral movements in patients with mandibular deviation were asymmetric. The tracing of the shifted side was longer than the contralateral side (P < 0.01). The transverse inclination of the shifted side was smaller than the contralateral side (P < 0.01). With the increase of deviation, the movement length difference between the two sides increased and the length of contralateral side decreased (P < 0.01).
Conclusions: The patients with mandibular deviation not only have morphological asymmetry but asymmetric condylar movement length and inclination in lateral movements. There is specific relationship between condylar movement and mandibular deviation.

Background/purpose: The functional and aesthetic reconstruction of the mandible can be achieved by using the double-barrel vascularized free fibula flap. The purpose of this study was to use multiple integrated techniques to more effectively reconstruct the mandible, some contains of our unique ideas.
Materials And Methods: 21 patients were included in this study.
Aim: Fixed retention is the method of choice for permanent stabilization of the treatment outcome. In recent years, CAD/CAM techniques have been developed to produce retainers with high precision and tension-free fit. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the suitability of a semi-industrial retainer manufacturing process (office-based construction, external laboratory manufacturing) in terms of positioning accuracy and post-treatment changes.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the precision of an open-source, clinician-trained, and user-friendly convolutional neural network-based model for automatically segmenting the mandible.
Methods: A total of 55 cone-beam computed tomography scans that met the inclusion criteria were collected and divided into test and training groups. The MONAI (Medical Open Network for Artificial Intelligence) Label active learning tool extension was used to train the automatic model.

: Interincisive midline deviation is frequent. Determining the cause (dental versus skeletal) is crucial for treatment planning. This study assessed the null hypothesis that neither clinical dental midline shift nor the temporomandibular disorder (TMD)-affected side correlate with maxillary/mandibular asymmetry.
