IMPORTANCE Intraoperative computed tomography (CT) provides surgeons with real-time feedback during maxillofacial trauma and reconstructive surgery, which can affect intraoperative decision making. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the time needed to perform intraoperative CT scans during maxillofacial surgery, determine any trend toward shorter total scan times as experience is gained with the techniqu...

Fracture healing and distraction osteogenesis have important applications in orthopedic, maxillofacial, and periodontal treatment. In this review, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate fracture repair are contrasted with bone regeneration that occurs during distraction osteogenesis. While both processes have many common features, unique differences are observed in the temporal app...

The treatment of condylar process fractures has generated a great deal of discussion and controversy in oral and maxillofacial trauma and there are many different methods to treat this injury. For each type of condylar fracture, the techniques must be chosen taking into consideration the presence of teeth, fracture height, patient's adaptation, patient's masticatory system, disturbance of occlu...

We present here a complex oral rehabilitation procedure for a 19-year-old male patient with an operated cleft lip and palate who suffered motorcycle accident injuries including facial lacerations, and a severe mandible fracture with loss of teeth, gingiva and alveolar bone. His initial skeletal and occlusal relationship made the emergent surgical management extremely difficult. Emergent soft ti...
