OBJECTIVE To determine patient factors and fracture morphology of dogs presented with mandibular fractures to a small animal referral centre in South Africa. METHODS Patient data on age, sex, breed and aetiology of dogs with mandibular fractures were recorded. The fractures were classified according to the anatomical location, displacement, fracture type, fracture line direction, periodontal ...

BACKGROUND Oral breathing and maxillary deficiency are often associated with steep mandibular plane angle, and retrognathic mandible compared with the faces of healthy controls. Some studies suggested that after rapid maxillary expansion, improvement in nasal breathing and repositioning of mandible with transitory increasing of facial height and, in some cases, spontaneous forward repositioning...

OBJECTIVE In order to understand the conflicting information on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pathophysiologic responses after mandibular advancement surgery, an overview of the literature was proposed with a focus on certain risk factors. METHODS A literature search was carried out in the Cochrane, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases in the period from January 1980 through March 2013...

ABSTRACT
 Background: Mandibular fractures comprise a large portion of facial injuries. According to comprehensive series published, 17.5 - 52% mandibular are condyle fractures. With the development plate and screw systems, open reduction internal rigid fixation have also become methods that accepted. Titanium miniplate systems or resorbable used for this purpose. The purpose study is comp...

Introduction: Mandibular fractures are the most common facial affecting various anatomical sites of mandible. Among mandibular fractures, management condylar remains a challenging task for surgeons. Case Report: We report case 28 year old male patient who presented with pain in chin and restricted mouth opening. Computed tomography revealed sagittal fracture right head medial displacement fract...

conclusions this study shows that simultaneous arch osteotomy and coronoidectomy may be an appropriate treatment procedure for zygomatico-coronoid interference. introduction zygomatico-coronoid interference is a rare type of mandibular extracapsular ankylosis. there is a lack of information on the treatment of these cases in the literature. condylectomy and coronoidectomy are not always the bes...

Introduction: The motion and the anatomy of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is very complex. Static or pseudo-dynamic MRI of the TMJ does not allow for full analysis of the disc deformation and displacement during the mandibular motion. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a fast dynamic MRI technique for measurement of the TMJ with an arbitrary reconstruction window time poi...

Removal of the third molar is a common surgical procedure in the oral surgery department. It can be associated with a number of complications like excessive bleeding, abscess formation, nerve injury or mandibular fracture. Displacement of impacted third molars, either crown, root fragment, or the entire tooth, are the complications that occasionally occur during these operations. Minor complica...
