Reconstruction of the mandible in growing patients following mandibulectomy is crucial for minimizing deformities and disabilities. Surgeons have been exploring various methods for mandibular reconstruction in growing patients. This case report describes the use of a custom-made CAD/CAM porous […]

This case report discusses the long-term management of a patient's left zygomatic fracture with an associated orbital floor injury. The initial treatment involved open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), followed by the placement of a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implant for globe dystopia. […]

When assessing the effectiveness of interventions, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are considered to generate the highest level of evidence. The CONSORT 2010 recommendations promote clear and transparent reporting of RCTs. However, to perform a complete analysis of methodological errors and […]

Silicone implants are commonly used alloplastic materials for rhinoplasty in Asia, as they are easy to manipulate, provide adequate volume augmentation, and exhibit excellent biocompatibility. However, they are associated with complications such as infection, displacement, and extrusion. Recently, […]

This report aims to present a case of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis in a patient with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). It is a rare but significant long-term complication of NF1-associated craniofacial dysplasia, potentially aggravated by prior orthognathic surgery./r/nThe patient, a […]

Septoplasty is a widely performed procedure globally to correct a deviated nasal septum and improve nasal breathing. Life-threatening nasal bleeding as a complication of septoplasty has been reported in a few cases in the literature. In cases of massive postoperative nasal bleeding, transarterial […]

The aims of the study were to update the current trends in acellular dermal matrix (ADM) utilization during palatoplasty procedures and to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing postoperative oronasal fistula formation./r/nThis is a systematic review and meta-analysis./r/nPatients undergoing […]

BACKGROUND Schwannomas are benign tumors of Schwann cell origin, and their intraosseous presentation in the infraorbital region is exceptionally rare. We report a case in which computed tomography (CT) revealed an expansile lesion in this location, subsequently diagnosed as a cellular schwannoma. […]

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the optimal timing for mandibular distraction osteogenesis in children with craniofacial microsomia based on long-term outcomes and relapse rates./r/nA comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science was […]

Distraction osteogenesis has been the preferred treatment modality for patients with hemifacial microsomia. Although an immediate improvement in facial asymmetry is noted at the completion of the procedure, long-term data regarding postdistraction stability is rare. In this study, a ≥12-year […]

The aim of this research was to determine the soft-to-hard tissue ratio using three-dimensional (3D) analysis in different types of orthognathic surgery and to update the most recent scientific evidence provided in 2017. A systematic search covering the period January 2017-December 2023 was […]

Augmentation rhinoplasty using alloplastic materials is a relatively standard procedure in Asian patients. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) is one of the commonly used alloplastic materials because it has a high biocompatibility and is easy to handle. Recently, a patient who had previously […]
