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

Frontal sinus injuries are relatively rare among facial bone traumas. Without
proper treatment, they can lead to fatal intracranial complications, including
meningitis or brain abscesses, as well as aesthetic and functional sequelae. The
management of frontal sinus injuries remains controversial, with various
treatment methods and outcomes being reported. This article describes the

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.

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

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
