Why most patients do not exhibit obstructive sleep apnea after mandibular setback surgery?Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - Tập 42 - Trang 1-8 - 2020
Jin-Wook Kim, Tae-Geon Kwon
Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) is effective for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In previous studies, the airway was increased in the anteroposterior and transverse dimensions after MMA. However, the effect of the opposite of mandibular movement (mandibular setback) on the airway is still controversial. Mandibular setback surgery has been suggested to be one of the risk factors...... hiện toàn bộ

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) constitutes a group of tumors that exhibit heterogeneous biology, histopathology, and clinical behaviors. A 73-year-old male had a whitish leukoplakia-like lesion around inflamed peri-implant area (#42, #43, and #44), and this lesion had transformed to OSCC within 3 years. He underwent mass resection, selective neck dissection, and reconstructive surgery. To det...... hiện toàn bộ

Conventionally, indirect radiography has been used to diagnose salivary gland diseases. However, with the development of sialendoscopy, diagnosis and treatment of salivary gland diseases have become more effective. Herein, we report a case of sialolithotomy treated with sialendoscopy and compare it with the existing methods through a literature review. Two patients with a foreign body sensation un...... hiện toàn bộ

Kissing molars (KMs) is defined as a state in which the apex of two impacted molars face opposite directions and the occlusal surfaces touch each other and the crown is in one follicle. Class III KMs have been reported previously; however, reports on class III KMs in young people (< 18 years of age) are limited. Here, we present the case of KMs class III confirmed at an early age, supported by a r...... hiện toàn bộ
Long-term Stability after Reduction of Mandible Fracture by Keyhole Plate: Evaluation at the Time of Plate RemovalMaxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - Tập 42 - Trang 1-6 - 2020

Various types of miniplates have been developed and used for the reduction of facial bone fractures. We introduced Yang’s Keyhole (YK) plate, and reported on its short-term stability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term stability of the YK plate, as a follow-up study, by examining the patients who had used the YK plate among the patients with the reduction of mandible fractures...... hiện toàn bộ
Nasal sill augmentation: an overlooked concept in rhinoplasty—a technical note and review of the literaturesMaxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - Tập 43 - Trang 1-15 - 2021

Nasal sill is one of the components of the alar ring, affecting the esthetic outcomes of rhinoplasty; accordingly, we developed a novel technique to adjust defects in this area and compared it with the available techniques. Our technique was based on creating a tunnel access to the nasal sill area through an incision made in the lower third of the columella using the open approach or through a nos...... hiện toàn bộ
