: the mandibular foramen is an essential anatomic landmark in performing various dental and surgical procedures, including inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB). However, its position may vary based on the individual morpho-functional features of the skull and face. This study aims to conduct a personalized assessment of the location of the mandibular foramen in various shapes of skulls, faces, and mandibles.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare the effects of two orthodontic appliances, the Twin block and Herbst, on the structure of the mandible using fractal dimension analysis (FDA) of panoramic radiographs in patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion.
- Fifty subjects treated with each appliance and a control group were analyzed, focusing on specific regions in the mandible, with significant changes in the condylar region and corpus observed across both treatment groups.
- Results indicated that both appliances caused remodeling of the mandibular trabecular structure, with the Twin block showing greater variances in the condyle compared to the Herbst appliance, thus rejecting the null hypothesis of no effect.

Objectives: To compare the variations in the upper airway of children with skeletal Class II mandibular retrognathism treated with van Beek Headgear-Activator (vBHGA) and Twin-Block (TB) appliances.
Materials And Methods: 40 children were involved in this retrospective study and divided into two intervention groups: the vBHGA group and the TB group, each comprising 20 individuals with an average age of 11.13 years.

Background/objectives: Temporomandibular disorders affect the muscles used for chewing, the temporomandibular joint, and other related tissues, resulting in pain, limited mobility, and dysfunction of the masticatory muscles. Physical therapy plays a critical role in treatment. Manual therapy can trigger neurophysiological mechanisms that contribute to pain relief and a reduction in muscle activation.

This study aimed to evaluate changes of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) following maxillomandibular advancement surgery (MMA), long-term postoperative skeletal relapse, and progressive condylar resorption (PCR) development. Preoperative and postoperative cone beam computed tomography(2 weeks, 5 years) of 50 patients (33 female, 17 male; mean age 25.6 years) were assessed three-dimensionally.
