The hierarchy of stability and predictability in orthognathic surgery with rigid fixation: an update and extension

William R. Proffit, Timothy A. Turvey, Ceib Phillips · 30 Apr 2007

A hierarchy of stability exists among the types of surgical movements that are possible with orthognathic surgery. This report updates the hierarchy, focusing on comparison of the stability of procedures when rigid fixation is used. Two procedures not previously placed in the hierarchy now are included: correction of asymmetry is stable with rigid fixation and…

Definition, etiology, prevention and treatment of peri-implantitis – a review

Ralf Smeets, Anders Henningsen, Ole Jung et al. · 3 Sep 2014

Peri-implant inflammations represent serious diseases after dental implant treatment, which affect both the surrounding hard and soft tissue. Due to prevalence rates up to 56%, peri-implantitis can lead to the loss of the implant without multilateral prevention and therapy concepts. Specific continuous check-ups with evaluation and elimination of risk factors (e.g. smoking, systemic diseases and…

Osseointegration of zirconia implants compared with titanium: an in vivo study

Rita Depprich, Holger Zipprich, Michelle Alicia Ommerborn et al. · 1 Dec 2008

BACKGROUND: Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used for fabrication of dental implants. Since the material composition and the surface topography of a biomaterial play a fundamental role in osseointegration, various chemical and physical surface modifications have been developed to improve osseous healing. Zirconia-based implants were introduced into dental implantology as an alternative to titanium…

3D digital stereophotogrammetry: a practical guide to facial image acquisition

Carrie L. Heike, Kristen Upson, Erik Stuhaug et al. · 28 Jul 2010

The use of 3D surface imaging technology is becoming increasingly common in craniofacial clinics and research centers. Due to fast capture speeds and ease of use, 3D digital stereophotogrammetry is quickly becoming the preferred facial surface imaging modality. These systems can serve as an unparalleled tool for craniofacial surgeons, proving an objective digital archive of…

Trends and characteristics of oral and maxillofacial injuries in Nigeria: a review of the literature

Wasiu Lanre Adeyemo, Akinola Ladipo Ladeinde, Mobolanle O. Ogunlewe et al. · 4 Oct 2005

BACKGROUND: The etiology of maxillofacial injuries varies from one country to another and even within the same country depending on the prevailing socioeconomic, cultural and environmental factors. Periodic verification of the etiology of maxillofacial injuries helps to recommend ways in which maxillofacial injuries can be averted. The aim of the present study is therefore to…
