ABSTRACT Introduction: Denosumab is a human monoclonal antibody that binds to the receptor activator of nuclear factor kB (RANKL), it used in treatment Osteoporosis. The Giant Cell Tumor (GCT) and Aneurysmal Bone Cyst (ABC) use same RANKL, for this reason drug began be its treatment. There consensus on use, dose-time 12-month duration GCT. Not so ABC. In unresectable, disabling or recurrent tum...

Surgery common solution to this problem. The clinical case describes an alternative treatment method using FAGGA appliance.

Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is a genetic disease that alters the development of bones and other tissues in the face, and presents variable expressivity. At least three genes TCOF1, POLR1D, and POLR1C were recognized to be at the origin of this syndrome which may be inherited through either an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive pattern. TCS changes can be divided into otological, opht...

conclusions the results of this study showed that remifentanil, similar to alfentanil, provided excellent conditions for endotracheal intubation when used with propofol for the induction of anesthesia; however, remifentanil improved the patency of the vocal cords to a greater extent than alfentanil. results there were no demographic data differences between groups (age, weight, and sex). furthe...

Introduction. Musculo-articular contracture of the lower jaw is a challenging issue in oral and maxillofacial surgery, despite extensive research this area. While condition presents diverse range clinical manifestations, it has received little attention literature, there are currently no clear diagnostic criteria available. The aim study to improve diagnosis musculo-articular contractures by ut...

Commercially pure titanium and alloys have been extensively used in materials to reconstruct the facial skeleton different forms sizes. There is yet be a consensus on removing (or not) plates screws after osteosynthesis. Our study tries investigate adjacent tissues of jaw surgery using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Twenty samples soft tissue surrounding were retrieve...

This paper describes an adult Saudi male patient who presented with a severe skeletal class II deformity. The case was managed with a combination of presurgical orthodontic treatment followed by a double jaw orthognathic surgery and then another phase of orthodontic treatment for final occlusal detailing. Extraction of the four first premolars was done during the presurgical orthodontic phase o...

Although splitting of food items between the incisors often requires high bite forces, rarely do the teeth harmfully collide when the jaw quickly closes after split. Previous studies indicate that the force-velocity relationship of the jaw closing muscles principally explains the prompt dissipation of jaw closing force. Here, we asked whether people could regulate the dissipation of jaw closing...

Maxillofacial surgery involves an operation to correct a disease, injury or defect of face, jaw mouth. Recently some strategies have been developed for minimizing postoperative discomfort after maxillofacial surgery, including the use pharmacological therapy and alternative medicine. However, patients still suffer pain, swelling, limitation in mouth mobility other symptoms surgery. Reducing mal...

Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is an important complication in cancer patients taking intravenous BPs (BPs). In most cases, BRONJ is associated with an oral surgery procedure involving jaw bone. Currently, BRONJ management remains controversial, and there is no definitive standard of care for this disease. In fact, several articles in the recent literature discuss treat...
