Objective: Orthognathic surgery is the applications performed to eliminate disorders in face and jaw structure of person regain normal functions teeth together with jaws. Upon increasing internet use, people reach first knowledge about these surgeries, where serious complications can be seen, through websites. It aimed assess Turkish texts released on orthognathic regarding toreadability conten...

This study clarifies the internal structure of the mandibular condyle in dentulous and edentulous jaws; three-dimensional observation and morphological measurements were performed using micro-CT. The materials used in this study were 14 mandibular condyles each removed from the dentulous and edentulous cadavers. Internal structures of the mandibular condyle were morphologically analyzed in thre...

Osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ) due to use bisphosphonate drugs is a particularly complex condition. The mechanisms through which this pathology develops are manifold. To date, management ONJ controversial.This study analyzed out-patients with documented treated in Oral and maxillofacial surgery Unit University “Magna Graecia” Catanzaro.A total 11 patients, 8 women 3 men, were enrolled. The inc...

OBJECTIVES The pressure along vascular clamp jaws may be unequally distributed, with greater pressure near the clamp hinge than at its top. Such unequal pressure distribution may cause aortic injury, especially in large aortas. We evaluated pressure distribution along different currently availably clamp jaws. METHODS Seven descending thoracic aortas from pigs (diameter 2.0-3.0 cm) were plainl...

The remarkable mechanical prowess of the jaws of the bloodworm Glycera dibranchiata appears to be a consequence of a robust cross-linked network of organic molecules, notably melanin and proteins, as well as small amounts of unmineralized Cu and a Cu-based mineral. The present study focuses on the role of melanin. Mechanical properties of untreated jaws and the constituent melanin are probed th...

Introduction: The incidence of breast cancer increases with the rate of 1-2% at the world. Radiation therapy is one of the available choices for breast cancer treatment. The single isocentre half-beam block technique is considered as a standard technique to avoid hot and cold spots within the PTV. The major advantage of half beam technique is that the both contralateral breast...

Lesions specific for the jaws and not occurring in any other bones mostly are related to the teeth or to odontogenic tissues. Moreover, the jaws may harbor nonodontogenic bone lesions not seen in any other part of the skeleton. This paper pays attention to the diseases that are specific for the jaws, odontogenic as well as nonodontogenic. Both neoplastic and nonneoplastic entities will be discu...
