The purpose is to describe a technique of using ramal bone graft for reconstructing defects of the infra-orbital rim (IOR), assess outcomes and complications. This was a retrospective chart review of 16 patients who underwent ramal bone grafting for IOR fractures. Outcomes evaluated were improvement in clinical findings (lid/globe malposition, tethering of facial skin and implant extrusion) and complications. Data analysis included descriptive statistics. The sample included 15 males and 1 female, with a mean age of 31.6 years. Lid malposition, globe malposition and tethering of facial skin was seen in 16, 13 and 6 patients, respectively. One patient demonstrated extrusion of implant. The mean size of bone harvested was 14 × 7 mm. All patients demonstrated improved globe position post-treatment, while 3 had residual lid retraction. Two patients demonstrated wound dehiscence in the donor site. In conclusion ramal bone graft was found to be a viable alternative for IOR reconstruction.

Mandibular arch distalization using temporary anchorage devices (TADs) is effective in correcting borderline Class lll cases without surgery. This review analysed the existing literature evaluating the dental, skeletal, and soft tissue changes after en masse mandibular arch distalization using TADs. We followed PRISMA guidelines and registered this review in PROSPERO database CRD42023450524.

Background: Schizophrenia is a chronic severe mental disorder characterized by impairment in cognition, emotion, perception, and other aspects of behavior. In light of the association of craniofacial dysmorphology with schizophrenia, mandibular morphology may provide clues about the role of neurodevelopment in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. This retrospective cross-sectional study aimed to compare the mandibular morphology of patients with schizophrenia with controls using digital panoramic radiography (DPR).

The presence of specific craniofacial deviations may be evidence of abnormal early brain development in bipolar disorder (BD). This study aimed to compare mandibular morphology in patients with BD versus nonpsychiatric controls using panoramic radiography. A total of 215 recorded images, 70 patients with BD and 145 controls, were evaluated.

Objective: The effects of unilateral increased occlusal vertical dimension (iOVD) on bilateral craniofacial, mandibular and alveolar development in growing rats were investigated via cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The role of Wnt/β-catenin signalling in this process was examined.
Materials And Methods: Forty-eight female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into unilateral iOVD and sham groups.

The aim of this article is to review safer orthognathic surgery. The literature survey was performed in PubMed, EBSCO, UpToDate, ProQuest Central databases of Kırıkkale University, and Google and Google Scholar databases. Patients with dentofacial skeletal defects may benefit from orthognathic surgery, which entails surgically modifying parts of the facial skeleton to restore the right anatomic and functional relationship.
