This study aimed to evaluate the spontaneous recovery of bone deformity after surgical excision of craniofacial dermoid cysts in pediatrics. Pediatric patients who underwent excision of a dermoid cyst were included in the study. A prospective analysis was conducted to evaluate the amount of bone recovery by comparing the depth of bony concavity in ...
The analysis aimed to compare two different single-tooth extraction surgical approaches in anterior maxillary areas of the ankylosed teeth: less traumatic magneto-electrical (mag) versus conventional tooth extraction (con) in minimizing the adverse effects on post-extractive sockets. Parameters of clinical interest such as intra-surgical fracture o...
The vastus lateralis muscle is one of the four muscles that make up the quadriceps femoris muscle, and it is also the largest of them. Some studies have shown that patients experience lower quality of life and muscle weakness after surgical treatment of thigh muscles in order to perform reconstructive surgery of the head and neck. The aim of our st...
The present study aimed to investigate the association between intraoperative body temperature and prolonged length of stay (PLOS) after free flap reconstruction. A total of 753 patients who underwent head and neck surgery with free flap reconstruction were collected and randomly assigned into primary and validation cohorts. In the primary cohort, ...
The aim of this study is to evaluate where exactly children and adolescents of the same group look when they interact with each other, and attempt to record and analyse the data recorded by eye-tracking technology. 60 subjects participated in the study, evenly divided into three age categories of 20 each in pre-school/primary school age (5-9 years)...
The objective of this randomized clinical trial (RCT) was to assess the effectiveness of electrospun chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (CS/PVA) nanofibrous scaffolds in preserving the alveolar ridge and enhancing bone remodeling following tooth extraction when compared to a control group. In this split RCT, 24 human alveolar sockets were randomly assigned...
The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of complex unicortical calvarial harvesting by using the Cold Ablation Robot-Guided Laser Osteotome (CARLO® primo+). A cadaveric study was performed with a progressive complexity of the bone harvesting. This preliminary study on the cadaveric cranial vault area examined the tracking precision, the...
The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of an attractive white female jaw angle in the three dimensions. An online survey of photographs of celebrities and laypeople was used to rate their attractiveness using 6 questions and a 3-item Likert scale. If ≥ 80% of participants rated a model as having attractive aesthetic features, it...
This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare the outcomes of alveolar cleft osteoplasty using single-shot antibiotic prophylaxis versus a prolonged antibiotic regimen. The primary endpoints assessed were the incidence of infection, failure of surgical correction, and antibiotic-related side effects. Patients with orofacial clefts affecting the ...
The aim of our study was to review current concepts in targeted therapies for benign tumors of the jaw. Benign odontogenic and maxillofacial bone tumors often require radical surgery, with consequent morbidity that impacts patients' postsurgical quality of life. Currently, targeted therapies and novel nonsurgical therapeutics are being explored for...
