Plastic surgical techniques were described in antiquity and the Middle Ages; however, the genesis of modern plastic surgery is in the early 20th century. The exigencies of trench warfare, combined with medical and technological advances at that time,...

The main aim of the present report is to study the pattern of distribution of cervical metastasis in buccal mucosa cancer and to discuss the various therapeutic options available. Fifty-three patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the buccal mucosa...

We introduce a novel computer-based method to digitally fixate midfacial fractures to facilitate more efficient intraoperative fixation. This article aims to describe a novel computer-based algorithm that can be utilized to model midface fracture red...

Facial nerve paralysis is classified into immediate or delayed-onset palsy, and affected patients should be treated through conservative or surgical therapy. Appropriate treatment is somewhat debated as well as proper time for performing surgery. Thi...

The purpose of this study is to check the efficacy of transgingival lag screw osteosynthesis in alveolar process fractures of maxilla and mandible. A single-arm nonrandomized observational study was performed for the treatment of alveolar process fra...

Sacrifice of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) during resection of the mandible is taken as a rule. In 1987, Jensen and Nock described a technique that permitted placement of dental implants in the atrophied mandibular alveolar ridge that lacked suff...

Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is rare. The heterogeneity of injury patterns and patient condition on presentation makes diagnosis difficult. Fracture patterns associated with TON have never been evaluated. Retrospective review of 42 patients diagn...

Mechanical falls are a common cause of facial trauma in the elderly population. It has been shown that the likelihood of sustaining a facial fracture due to a fall or activities of daily life significantly increases with age. Craniomaxillofacial frac...

Orbital trapdoor fractures (OTFs) entail entrapment of intraorbital soft tissues with minimal or no displacement of the affected bones and are almost exclusively seen in children. This article aimed to report the diagnosis and treatment of an OTF of...

Epignathus is a rare congenital oropharyngeal teratoma that arises from the oropharynx, especially the sphenoid, palatine, and ethmoid bones. Teratomas are benign tumors containing cells from ectodermal, mesodermal, and endodermal layers. The inciden...
