BACKGROUND/AIM In malocclusion of skeletal class III, mandible is located in front of maxilla in sagital plain, which is manifested by a lower value of the sagital inter-jaw angle than in skeletal class I, where the jaw sagital relation is normal. Apart from the deformities on mandible and/or maxilla, in skeletal class III deformities are also frequent on the cranial base. The aim of this resea...

Amaç: İskeletsel Sınıf III malokluzyona sahip hastaların yumuşak dokularında meydana gelen değişikliklerin üç boyutlu (3D) fotografik görüntüleme yöntemi ile incelenmesidir.
 Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamız Erciyes Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Ortodonti Anabilim Dalı’nda üst çenede tek parçalı Le Fort I, alt bilateral sagital split osteotomisi çift çene ortognatik cerrahi tedavisi görm...

Bilateral Sagital Split Osteotomy (BSSO) is one of the most common surgeries for the management of mandibular retrognathism. However, nerve damage and lip paresthesia is possible after the surgery. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of neurosensory disturbance after BSSO surgery. 42 patients in need of mandibular advancement participated in this study. The sensory status...

Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) in order or advance mandible is a common surgery for patients with mandibular retrognathism. While various complications could result after this surgery, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of BSSO surgery on electric activity and function of masseter muscle. 36 patients in need of mandibular advancement with BSSO technique participa...

Skeletal Malocclusions results from the abnormal position of maxilla and mandible in relation with cranial base. These types of malocclusion are commonly treated by orthodontic teeth movement known as camouflage orthodontics. However severe skeletal malocclusions cannot be treated by orthodontics alone. Such cases need surgical intervention to align the position of the jaw along with orthodonti...

Picture 1A. Initialy sagital T2-weighted MRI of the spine showed a slight deviation of the spinal cord at T2/3 level (arrow). Picture 1B. Five years later, spinal MRI shows that the anterior displacement of the spinal cord is worsened with deformity on sagital view. Picture 1C. Axial MRI shows spinal cord is displaced ventraly and to the left without any tumor in the subarachnoid space. Picture...
