Filter by:Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) is considered the main osteotomy design in corrective mandibular surgery, however abnormal anatomical configuration of the posterior mandible with rolled out inferior border and thin mandibular rami with cortically adherent inferior alveolar nerve may interfere with the utilization of this osteotomy. The aim of this study is to introduce a novel modification of the intraoral inverted L ramus osteotomy (ILRO) to overcome these limitations in mandibular setback surgery. preoperative CBCT was requested for virtual planning and fabrication of cutting and drilling guides. Cutting lines were outlined to be consisted of four cuts; lateral ostectomy to uncover and lateralize the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN), posterior cut run horizontally from the anterior border of the ramus to a point just above the mandibular foramen, two anterior vertical cuts run from the anterior end of the lateral ostectomy to the inferior mandibular border. The guide was removed and the osteotomy lines were completed then the mandibular setback was oriented and fixed using pre-bent plates osteosynthesis. Inferior alveolar nerve function was regained perfectly one year post-operatively. This procedure introduces a robust alternative to the BSSO osteotomy in some cases of mandibular setback surgery.
This in vivo comparative study will evaluate the changes in the mandibular dimensions and the glenoid fossa after skeletal class III subjects' therapy by chincup appliance and compare it with an untreated class III control group. Pre and post-treatment low-dose computed tomography images will be taken before and after achieving positive overjet and undergoing 16 months of active treatment/ observation. Dimensional and volumetric changes in the mandible, condyles, and glenoid fossa will be calculated and compared to those observed in the control group.
Stability of the orthodontic miniscrews placed in the mandible is still considered to bare higher risk of failure compared to other intraoral locations. The aim of our study was to determine the influence of the miniscrew size on their long-term stability, occurrence of oral mucosa inflammation and pain lasting over 48 hours after implantation.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in head posture, position of the hyoid bone, pharyngeal airway and cervical posture after the use of Petit type face mask in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion (ANB angle < 0) with ongoing growth. No other study was found in the literature in which head posture, cervical posture, and hyoid bone position were evaluated after the use of a face mask and compared with a control group consisting of patients of the same age group and the same malocclusion.
Various malocclusions require the extraction of the first premolars and retraction of the canines with the need for maximum anchorage. If the canines are pulled into the extraction space using the molar teeth for support, unwanted tooth movement occurs. This study aims to evaluate the effect of temporary anchorage devices and power arms, which are auxiliary orthodontic appliances in reducing undesirable tooth movements.
A prospective clinical trial to what extent inflammatory biomarkers are affected by the medication after orthognathic surgery in early surgical cases and whether these biomarkers affects the amount of maxillary or mandibular incisor root resorption.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the levels of pain, discomfort and acceptance between two treatment modalities of Class III correction of growing patients in the late mixed dentition period.
The investigator will assess the inverted sequence approach in the treatment of class III patient undergoing bimaxillary orthognathic surgery
This experimental study aims to evaluate the efficiency of the orthodontic removable traction appliance in the treatment of skeletal class III malocclusion. The study sample will consist of 44 patients with skeletal class III malocclusion. The sample will be allocated randomly into two groups: experimental group and control group. The dentoskeletal changes will be assessed by using lateral cephalometric radiographs before treatment and after obtaining 3mm positive overjet.
