'Rodrigo da Franca Acioly' 'Daniel do Carmo Carvalho' 'Cristofe Coelho Lopes da Rocha'] The gradual loss of the dental alveolus leads to bone resorption, which may cause atrophy of the maxilla and mandible. One of the most complex procedures in reconstructive surgery is the rehabilitation of patients with atrophic…

Background Insufficient bone width is a common obstacle when placing dental implants. Numerous methods have been devised to enhance bone thickness. Autogenous bone is considered the benchmark material owing to its superior properties. The split bone block technique showed favorable results in bone gain, although donor…

Vertical mandibular ridge deficiency challenges implant placement and stability in prosthetic dentistry. Therefore, it is of interest to compare guided bone regeneration (GBR) with titanium mesh versus autogenous onlay block grafting in 76 patients needing pre-prosthetic augmentation. Both yielded similar vertical bone…

Background: Autogenous bone grafting has long been the standard for augmenting bone prior to implant placement in atrophic ridges. However, innovative techniques are continually sought to enhance outcomes. This study introduces the honeycomb technique for horizontal bone augmentation in edentulous posterior mandibular…

'Benedikt Schneider' 'Anna Sophia Bandura' 'Dritan Turhani'] Introduction Extensive comminuted fractures are associated with tooth loss that ultimately leads to dimensional changes in the hard and soft tissues of the alveolar ridge. Reconstruction of the lost mandibular anterior ridge is very complex due to the natural…

'María-Ángeles Serrera-Figallo' 'Celia Vázquez-Pachón' 'Daniel Torres-Lagares' 'José-Luis Gutiérrez-Pérez'] Background Maxillary atrophy may be related to mechanical, inflammatory or systemic factors, being a consequence of a reduction in the amount and quality of available bone. Several surgical techniques have been…

Background Mandibular angle osteotomy (MAO) is widely performed in East Asian patients seeking lower-face contouring. Although numerous osteotomy designs and adjunctive technologies have been described, practical guidance for selecting an appropriate technique according to mandibular morphology, surgical endpoints, and…

Background Based on a three-dimensional (3D) orthognathic simulation, this technical report introduces a method for augmentation genioplasty using a proximal bone fragment of the mandible, which is typically discarded in intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO). Results A 43-year-old female patient diagnosed with…

The mandible plays an essential part in human life and, thus, defects in this structure can dramatically impair the quality of life in patients. Axolotls, unlike humans, are capable of regenerating their lower jaws; however, the underlying mechanisms and their similarity to those in limb regeneration are unknown. In…

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a complex disease with complex etiology, which requires multidisciplinary cooperation in diagnosis and treatment. Mandibular retrognathia is strongly associated with OSA. Orthodontists can either correct the mandibular retrognathia of pediatric OSA via various kinds of orthodontic…

Mandibular advancement serves as a treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but its effectiveness differs among patients. The position of the hyoid bone is crucial for maintaining upper airway patency and may influence mandibular advancement outcomes. This study aimed to assess the impact of surgical hyoid…

Collision Constraints Authors: ['Zhao Dong' 'JiaZhou Chen' 'Y. G. Xu'] The planning of digital orthodontic treatment requires providing tooth alignment, which not only consumes a lot of time and labor to determine manually but also relays clinical experiences heavily. In this work, we proposed a lightweight tooth…

There is an increasing demand in medical industries to have automated systems for detection and localization which are manually inefficient otherwise. In dentistry, it bears great interest to trace the pathway of mandibular canals accurately. Proper localization of the position of the mandibular canals, which surrounds…

To ensure the long-term success of temporomandibular joint implants, it is imperative to understand their biomechanical performances under the mastication cycle. This study aims to compare the biomechanical performance of two commercially available stock implants under a complete mastication cycle. This study has been…

The ramus immediately after intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) shows segmental mobility, cortical overlap, and projection, which yield smooth-surfaced continuity and stability after one year. This study aimed to elucidate the three-dimensional (3D) morphological changes driven by regional healing and remodeling…

The curved planes of the human dentition seen in the sagittal view, the mandibular curve of Spee and the maxillary compensating curve, have clinical importance to modern dentistry and potential relevance to the craniofacial evolution of hominins. However, the mechanism providing the formation of these curved planes is…

'Shi-Sub Byon' 'Sunghyun Kim' 'Byoung-Dai Lee' 'Min-Suk Heo' 'Yeong-Gil Shin'] Abstract—Accurate segmentation of mandibular canals in lower jaws is important in dental implantology. Medical experts determine the implant position and dimensions manually from 3D CT images to avoid damaging the mandibular nerve inside the…

Distraction osteogenesis is a unique postnatal bone formation employed by orthopaedic surgeons to treat many conditions, however, the overall time to external frame removal can be extensive. Any strategies that accelerate healing would improve patient care. Distraction osteogenesis research in the past decade has shown…
