We aimed to evaluate whether there is a consensus among bi- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) evaluations of mandible condyle position and its rotation center. Also, if this data can be replicated in orthognathic surgery planning. The survey was carried out on the major databases (PubMed, SCOPUS, Embase, Cochrane). Human or human bio models evaluatio...

Sentinel lymph node biopsy versus selective neck dissection in patients with early oral squamous cell carcinoma: A cost ...

Published in Journal of stomatology, oral and maxillofacial surgery

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has been proved to be as efficient as selective neck dissection (SND) for the treatment of occult metastases in T1-T2cN0 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The aim of our study was to assess and compare the cost of these two surgical procedures. This retrospective cost analysis includes consecutive patients treat...
