Alveol kret yetersizliğinin extraoral otojen onley kemik greftleri ile ogmentasyonda tünel ve krestal insizyon tekniklerinin karşılaştırılması Comparison of tunnel and crestal incision techniques in alveolar cret deficiency using extraoral autogeneous onley bone grafts ÖZET Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı alveoler kret yetersizliğinde kres-tal ve tünel o...
Background: Recent studies have shown that virtual planning for orthognathic surgery is an accurate and repeatable method. It is also a fact that surgical sequence can affect the results in terms of accuracy. Various studies stated that both approaches offer comparable results when properly planned and implemented; however, further clinical studies...
Objectives
To assess the symmetry of various cranial anthropometric points used as references for yaw orientation in the natural head position (NHP), relative to the mid-sagittal plane.
Materials and methods
A prospective analysis using tomography data from 55 patients was conducted. Radiopaque markers, placed on patients in NHP, facilitated head...
Purpose
Conventional orthognathic surgical planning has limitations in accurately transferring the relationship between soft tissue and bone. Virtual planning offers enhanced accuracy and visualization through computer simulation. This study aimed to compare the need for reoperation between patients who underwent conventional and virtual surgical p...
Objectives
The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensory function of the infraorbital nerve after orthognathic surgery (OS).
Materials and methods
Patients who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy with or without BSSO for dentofacial deformity treatment were studied. Two groups were created according to whether BSSO was performed. Class A tests were...

OBJECTIVE: The conventional chisel osteotome technique (CCOT) and the magnetic mallet osteotome technique (MMOT) with a newly manufactured custom osteotome tip for the magnetic mallet device (MMD) were compared to determine whether magneto-dynamic osteotomies are as reliable for orthognathic surgery as the conventional method.
MATERIALS AND METHOD...
Objective:
A strong postoperative occlusal relationship is essential for the long-term stability of the jaw relations post orthognathic surgery. In multi-piece Le Fort I osteotomy, obtaining a satisfactory inter-maxillary fixation (IMF) of the mobilized segments in the correct position and according to the preoperative plan is difficult. Herein, w...
Purpose
Bony changes after orthognathic surgery are always followed by changes of the overlying soft tissues. Therefore, morphologic changes of the nose may be expected after procedures involving the maxilla. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in the nasal region due to orthognathic surgery using computed tomography (CT) images o...
Objectives
The hard and soft tissues of the head and neck, dentition, and temporomandibular joint are the determining elements in orthognathic surgery planning. The accuracy and precision of the relationship between the jaws at the beginning of treatment and their final position depend on an accurate dentition record. The aim of this study was to d...
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine how the mentolabial groove at the frontal view is affected by orthognathic surgery.
Materials & Methods: Sixty-two patients were appointed into two groups (Group 1: Class II skeletal deformity, Group 2: Class III skeletal deformity). In each patient, pre and postoperative standardized sixth-month phot...
The cheilion (Ch), corner of the mouth, is the soft-tissue landmark where the upper and lower lips intersect. Orthognathic surgery can modify Ch position, which can affect facial esthetics. The aims were to evaluate Ch movements resulting from Le Fort I maxillary advancement with maxillary impaction or downgrafting, and with mandibular advancement...
Purpose
Excessive scleral show, a sign of midfacial hypoplasia, leads to undesirable facial appearance. This study aimed at evaluating changes in scleral show following Le Fort I osteotomy with either impaction or lengthening of the mid face.
Materials and Methods
Patients who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy were included. The patients were divided...
Horizontal osteotomy is one of the most critical step at sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) and determination of the ideal height of this horizontal osteotomy is essential to avoid nerve and vessel injury.
Purpose:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of the medial horizontal ramus cut as a risk factor for unfavorable outcomes in th...
The ‘beauty arch’, an aesthetic feature of the midface, is a double-S-shaped curve that extends downward from the lateral canthus. This retrospective study evaluated whether modified high Le Fort I advancement (combined with impaction or down-grafting) without malar augmentation can approximate a patient’s ‘ideal’ beauty arch (IBA). Pre- and postop...
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate two techniques’, crestal and tunnel incision, complications after extraoral autogenous bone grafting at recipient area, which are used to treat alveol crest insufficiency.
METHODS: Minor complications (minor openning in graft, opening of screw head, suture opening, temporary paresthesi...
Buccal fat pad has been used in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the last decades. The main indication was resistant oroantral fistulas however indications extended from defect closure to reconstruction and cosmetic surgery. In this report new insights for using buccal fat pad is introduced.
Five different clinical situations in maxillofacial area...
