Craniomaxillofacial Trauma & Reconstruction, Volume 6, Issue 2

External dacryocystorhinostomy was described in early 20th century. The introduction of nasal endoscopy and endoscopic sinus surgery in the 1980s paved the way for a transnasal endoscopic approach to lacrimal system. This article will review the indi...

Orbital and anterior skull base surgery is generally performed close to the prechiasmatic visual pathway, and clear strategies for detecting and handling visual pathway damage are essential. To overcome the common problem of a missed clinical examina...

Background Stereolithographic (SLA) models have become a valuable resource in preoperative planning in maxillofacial reconstruction. The objective of this study was to performa defect specific analysis of the utility of SLA models. The goal was to de...

Introduction The aim of the study was to propose an ideal plating design for fractures running through the mental foramen. Methods The study compared three plating designs—two four-holeminiplates, 2 × 2-hole three-dimensional (3D) plate, and modified...

Background The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcome of orbital floor reconstruction with free flaps after maxillectomy. Methods This was a retrospective analysis of 34 consecutive patients who underwent maxillectomy with orbital floor rem...

Background and Objectives The ideal line of osteosynthesis in mandibular angle fractures indicates that a plate might be placed either along or just below the external oblique ridge. Some authors believe that using one miniplate at this line at the m...

Objectives To evaluate the average thickness of the parietal bones in their different regions to identify the ideal site(s) for calvarial bone graft harvest. Methods and Materials Thickness of the parietal bones of 25 wet cranial vaults of New Zealan...

Purpose The first autologous adipose tissue grafting was performed by Neuber in 1893 with an open approach. In the early 1980s, Illouz and Fournier introduced closed liposuction. In the 1990s, Coleman published a new method of atraumatic fat transpla...

Long-standing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation is an uncommon condition, and due to its rarity, no definitive guidelines have been developed for its management. Various reduction techniques ranging from indirect traction techniques to direct...

A 3-year-old patient was referred to the oral and maxillofacial department with a fracture of the orbital floor. Due to the lack of clinical symptoms, a conservative approach was chosen. After 3 weeks, an enophthalmos developed. The orbital floor rec...

Dog bite injury frequently occurs in children, and many of these bites involve the facial region. On the other hand, facial fractures due to dog attacks are a rare complication, with the orbital, nasal, and maxillary bones most often affected. We pre...

Background Being edentulous causes progressive bony resorption in maxillae, which can lead to altered maxillomandibular relationships. Discussion should consider Le Fort I osteotomy with inlay grafts for a better success rate. Thus, this article intr...
